Welcome aboard!
Welcome my CVT brother! Its vital you post info about how your transmission is holding up. Its much needed data for us CVT owners because of all the bad press JATCO CVTs get. Maybe we'll prove em wrong and both get 200k miles out of ours?

For sure! CVT failure is my biggest concern especially being over the 100K mark. I want to do everything I can to make it last hopefully past 200K (one of the reasons I joined the forum). I know the JATCO has a bad reputation, but from what I've read the CVT in the mirage is the same one that was paired with the Nissan Juke and a few other vehicles that had higher HP & more weight, meaning it will hopefully hold up way better in the mirage?
What would be your best recommendations to keep the CVT running forever? Do we know the record for the longest running CVT?
Look up anything posted by Fummins. He was a fleet mechanic of over 40 CVT Mirages. It was a crap shoot honestly he had some over 175k miles original CVT and he had a couple crap out around 130k miles. As an Uber driver putting 150 to 200 miles a day on my 2014, Im at 64k miles right now, I check the cvt fluid every week and I do the CVT fluid change out every 30k miles at a Mitsu dealership with OEM fluid. You could also change the 2 filters on the CVT too every 60k miles, but some say on here its not necessary if your maintaing clean fluid to begin with. I have yet to do this myself and my fluid looks pale green. Remember if the fluid is a pale green or orange, your good. If its brown, go on and change it out. If its black your on borrowed time, your cvt could crap out in a week or 3 years, only the Gods know! But changing out the cvt fluid with the previous fluid being black could do more harm than good. Sometimes the gunk is whats holding it up all together.
