Hopefully Fummins or Top Fuel can translate what that means? You said there is no CEL on? Just throwing that one code?

I'm sure it's fine. That's great you did it all for what? $600 for the cvt? How many miles on the used one?
With tax, the cvt came to about $670. When I got it home, I noticed they had pretty significantly dented in the pan with likely a forklift. I used the pan from the old one, but the internal filter was also dented, so I had to order one of those along with a new pan gasket. I wanted oem, so I ordered Nissan because it was $65 Vs like $120 (from local Mitsubishi dealership). Then there was the $90 worth of the j4 fluid (boy Mitsubishi charges a lot!). So the grand total was approx $825. If I would have seen the damage before I left, I would have tried to get them to come down more on the price of the cvt.

Thanks for the update on this. Hopefully it will inspire future Mirage owners who are facing a huge repair bill.
How are you reading/clearing your OBDII codes? Are you using one of those blue tooth things? I would clear that code to see if it comes back with your new transmission. If it's driving normally, it sounds like it's just a code set by your previous transmission.
You can see this for more info on that code: OBDII Code P0796

Congrats, glad you’re back on the road again. I do like how easy these are to work on. A buddy stopped by yesterday to go through my bolt bin. He’s replacing a clutch in a Mini Cooper S lol. They had to pull half the car apart! Didn’t help being supercharged. A lot of the bolts are now stripped out inverted torx....

Thinking out loud here, does the Nissan use EXACTLY the same transmission? Nissans are probably more plentiful, thus the transmission might be cheaper for anyone looking for a replacement. Assuming they are, indeed, identical.
Simplify and add lightness.
I assume the bell housing/case is different? Not sure about any other changes.

Wouldn't the programming give you a bunch of issues. I called a Nissan service center about if they were willing to put a CVT7 in a Mirage and they said no way. It wouldn't work at all.
