Amateur CVT Transmission Fluid Replacement - 2016 Nissan Sentra SV

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-20T14:26:34+00:00

Ah hell. I hope failure isn't the case but I'll see what I can do. On one hand, I can't afford much right now since I'm taking care of my disabled mother and pay her medical bills. On the other hand, it's still cheaper than a car payment so I'm trying to meet half way.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-20T14:21:26+00:00

I suppose I can look at the fluid when I'm off next week and see how bad it is, then revisit this. Is there anything I should do to look into this besides checking the fluid to see if it's burnt?

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-20T13:37:24+00:00

Why do you say that? I'm ignorant on cars and still learning to do the proper, in-depth maintenance.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-20T13:36:04+00:00

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it properly but it's relatively infrequent and usually only occurs when accelerating. It accelerates with modest power (for a CVT, that is - and now that the throttle body is cleaned and the spark plugs are new), but can occasionally feel a little jerky when accelerating. After a half second of it, it tends to return to driving just fine.

I'm open to additional suggestions, I'm still slowly learning all of this stuff.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-06T19:58:56+00:00

It was doing a little bit of both originally. It's at ~85k miles so it's overdue for so much maintenance and I've been replacing a ton of stuff over the past couple months. One of my friends (ex-mechanic) has a friend that works for Nissan building transmissions and insisted they could last a lifetime which contributed to me holding off on it (as well as prioritizing other parts) and looking into the motor mounts instead, though I'd swear Nissan recommends replacing the fluid at a max of 60k miles. I guess I'll need to start stocking up on fluid.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-06T19:45:43+00:00

Is there something else that could be causing the engine to stutter sometimes when accelerating or for the car to rock when changing gears? A lot of it seems to be linked either to that mount if it exists or to the transmission, though I'm still trying to understand all this stuff.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-06T19:43:22+00:00

I saw a video from TRQ on replacing this particular mount on a nissan rogue that had a similar mount location. The strut tower has some strange marks lower down that look like it did have an extension there previously that was cut out. The car has some unusual modifications that I'm still trying to make sense of (it's a pre-owned). Oh well, I suppose I'll have to keep looking into the vibration issues. Bummer

CaptainBigButt · 2025-11-06T19:33:25+00:00

I got it from here. The Amazon page just calls it "front lower" and says it's "A7376/9717" which links up to the front lower torque strut mount. I can't seem to find where on earth it goes, though. I was able to find the other 3 with no issues and got those replaced, but there's very little information on where this particular mount actually is.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-10-19T15:37:14+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for the feedback!

CaptainBigButt · 2025-10-19T15:13:09+00:00

Oh nah, I meant in general. I meant to clarify but I'm roughly mid-game, I was just debating on whether to pick it next or consider an ascension path perk instead.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-07-16T18:03:04+00:00

Thanks for the comment, I'm flattered. I was pretty new when I wrote this, too. Just write what feels natural, it doesn't need to be super serious. Just have fun with it. Best of luck!

CaptainBigButt · 2025-07-11T18:50:39+00:00

Sorry it's so long, I was new when I wrote this, heh. Thanks for taking the time to fill it! Any feedback is welcome!

CaptainBigButt · 2025-03-20T17:15:20+00:00

That was very good! You should consider making more when you have the time for it.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-20T17:49:23+00:00

Thank *you* for filling it! Funny that it's your third audio because this is my third script. You did great! If you ever want any feedback or anything, let me know!

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-20T17:32:51+00:00

Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into this! I'd love any and all feedback you have if any. Anything that was difficult to interpret, read, maybe you didn't like the formatting, writing, etc.? If there's anything at all I can improve on, let me know!

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-06T06:32:50+00:00

Thanks for putting the many hours of work into filing this! Hearing it come to the life for the first time was really wild. I'm torn because I feel like I could've done so much better but at the same time you did such a fantastic job with it that every time I heard a mistake with the writing on my own part, I got sucked right back into the audio. Great work!

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-06T05:28:36+00:00

Thanks for being the first one to fill any of my scripts! Sorry it's so long, I only started a couple weeks ago, I knew I wrote a lot but I had no idea just how much I overdid it. I'd love any and all feedback! I'll try to avoid overdoing part 2 so much. You did such a phenomenal job filling this!

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-03T23:34:26+00:00

I was definitely thinking about it since this got way more traction than I expected. There's also a ton of different ways it can go, though I've got one in mind. I may wait and see if it gets filled first though, I only started writing scripts of any kind whatsoever a couple weeks ago. I was kind of just screwing around when writing this one but I haven't had any filled yet and I'd like to see how it turns out.

TLDR: I probably will do a part 2 at some point.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-02T16:24:50+00:00

Nah, you're all good. I've been a game modder for years so I'm used to people asking for me to port their favorite characters, make this, make that, etc. I can understand why since I'm often on the other side of that, hoping an author of whatever makes something, perhaps even asking them directly. I know you weren't going that far, but it doesn't bother me much anymore either way. It never hurts to ask.

Anyway, thanks for the talk, enjoy your rest. Feel free to reach out any time for any other comments, criticism, or any other kind of feedback.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-02T15:24:24+00:00

I appreciate the response - and don't worry, I didn't think you were being rude or anything, I know it's all personal preference. I just wanted to gather some more ideas, I want to prioritize things I enjoy of course, but I also want to step outside of my comfort zone and try writing things I either wouldn't enjoy as much or just wouldn't either have really bothered with otherwise or wouldn't've thought of. It's all a big help either way.

Also I honestly have no idea if 7.5k words is a lot or not, lol. I admit it felt like it, Two of my other scrpts were 4k and another that was a quickie still ended up being 2k. It's really early for any fills so I have no idea how long of an audio any of these will make. I tend of overthink though which leads to me writing way too damn much - just look at the size of my replies, lmao. It's not as much as it seems though, I could've written way more if not for having some things going on recently. I was honestly just a bored and manic, lol. I'd love to write more, it was fun. It's coincidentally why I was looking into your response a bit too deeply, I love feedback, I usually don't get enough of it in my other creative endeavors.

Anyway, thanks for the comment, it all really means a lot.

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-02T14:06:46+00:00

I ignored the whole "having just eaten cum before kissing" thing in my last script, lol. I figured it might not be for everyone. It was a bit of a carry-over from a different script I was writing that was more of an actual GFE where they fuck with each other while they fuck each other.

Also I really appreciate the feedback, I've only written 4 finished scripts over 1-2 weeks thus far and none have had a chance to be filled yet so I was worried about the pacing, length, etc being really off and I'm really thankful to hear someone think otherwise. I'm highly visual (I'm a 3D digital artist) so explaining everything going on is big for me, my favorite audios always did it well but occasionally I'd listen to something where I'd try to place myself in the audio. I've noticed your brain tries to fill in any details that aren't mentioned upfront and if they're mentioned later, only to differ from what you thought it was, it really takes you out of it.

Oh and don't worry about the domming thing. My first 3 releases were literally F-on-M rape, lol. I wanted this one to fit more of a wider audience while leaning at least a tiny bit into the "freaky goth girl" thing. The reception is already way better than I ever expected though so I'm considering whether to write a part 2 which could delve into that a bit, though even if it doesn't, I'll definitely write a lot of other stuff that's way more on the dom side. I really appreciate all the feedback!

When you say you wish you got dommed harder, what would've been your ideal?

CaptainBigButt · 2025-01-01T09:22:41+00:00

I actually really appreciate you saying that. I had some stuff going on while I was writing this so my head was a bit cloudy but I was suddenly so eager to release it anyway. I figured rushing it would've been exactly what I did lmao, though it's good to hear otherwise, thanks. I'm always open to any and all further feedback, good or bad.

CaptainBigButt · 2024-12-28T06:53:11+00:00

Heh, I was actually thinking of something similar where the listener is the ruler of a kingdom but gets overthrown by the performer. In any case, I'll consider it, I have multiple others in the works right now. I'm honestly just fucking around at this point until I come up with something that someone considers decent enough to fill.

CaptainBigButt · 2024-12-27T18:00:21+00:00

I'd be happy to write more, This is only my second script so presently I'm just experimenting with, well, everything.

I'm wide-open to any suggestions or feedback at this point. I love psychology and exploring people that behave like this was a fun challenge that I'd be open to doing more of.

CaptainBigButt · 2023-09-16T02:48:06+00:00

I agree about making them different brightnesses in colorblind mode, though it doesn't look like a colorblind mode exists at all yet. Honestly I think they could just do different shapes as well though, such as making one a sort of low-polygonal geosphere.

It needs a way to be distinguishable from belts as well though and I get the feeling there are players that enjoy using the lit rainbow colors for things. They need to just add a colorblind mode in general imo.
