Most of the time I am able to get 13-16 hours depending on the Nissan vehicle. Even some of the warranty times can be pretty decent, considering the techs can get them replaced in about 3 hours time. Even the rebuilds Nissan has us doing for the judder codes pay an additional 3 hours or so, plus R&I and replace. Not too shabby. But agreed, CVT's are horrible. I have done around 20 of them this month =(
