Nissan Rogue 2014-2020 2.5L CVT Engine and Transmission Mount Kit

A 2014-2020 Nissan Rogue that shakes at a stoplight in Drive, clunks when you pull away, or buzzes through the steering wheel on light throttle is often blamed on the CVT. On this generation, worn engine and transmission mounts cause many of those complaints. This four-piece kit replaces the hydraulic passenger-side engine mount, the hydraulic driver-side transmission mount and both torque rods on the 2.5L Rogue with the automatic CVT.

What the mounts do in a Rogue with the CVT

The Rogue's QR25DE four-cylinder and the CVT sit sideways in the engine bay as one unit. Two load-bearing mounts carry the weight: one on the passenger side under the engine and one on the driver side under the transmission. Two torque rods stop the assembly from rocking forward and back when the engine makes torque. The two main mounts are hydraulic: each has fluid sealed inside the rubber to absorb idle vibration. When the rubber cracks and the fluid leaks out, the mount stops damping vibration and the engine moves more under load. A CVT holds the engine at a steady speed with very little rpm change, so a failed mount shows up as a constant drone or a shudder instead of a single bump on each shift.

Symptoms of worn Rogue mounts

• Vibration through the floor, seat and steering wheel at idle in Drive or Reverse that eases in Park or Neutral
• Shudder on light acceleration from a stop that feels like CVT judder
• A clunk or thump when shifting into gear or when you get on and off the throttle
• Wet, oily residue on or under the passenger-side engine mount or the driver-side transmission mount
• The engine sits low on the passenger side or the rubber is cracked or split
• Excess engine rock when someone else brakes it against the transmission in gear

How to confirm mounts before blaming the CVT

Bad mounts do not set trouble codes. Scan the transmission first. If you find CVT codes, start with our Nissan JATCO CVT problems and fixes guide because the problem may be inside the transmission. If the scan is clean, open the hood and have a helper hold the brake firmly. Shift between Drive and Reverse and give it a little throttle while you watch the engine. More than slight movement, or a torque rod bushing that separates from its sleeve, points to the mounts. Look closely at the two hydraulic mounts for fluid weeping from the rubber. If the shudder only happens while moving and the mounts look good, the CVT harsh and delayed engagement walkthrough covers the transmission-side checks. Also check the CVT fluid level and condition, because old fluid can cause judder that feels like a mount problem. A fluid quality tester gives a quick read on the fluid.

Fitment

This kit fits the 2014-2020 Nissan Rogue with the 2.5L engine and the automatic CVT. It is not listed for the Rogue Sport, Rogues with the 2.0L engine, the older Rogue Select, or the 2021-and-newer Rogue, which uses a different engine and mount layout. OE references for the four positions are 11210-4BA0A (passenger-side engine mount), 11220-5HA0A (driver-side transmission mount), 11360-4BA0B and 11350-4BA0A (torque rods). Aftermarket cross references include A4363, A4364, A4366, A4367, EM7204, EM7205, EM7294 and EM7295. Compare these numbers with the parts on your Rogue, or send us the year and VIN and we will confirm. See every part for this transmission family on our CVT parts page.

Install notes

• Support the engine and transmission from below with a jack and a wood block under the oil pan or transmission case. Never support it on the CVT pan.
• Change one mount at a time so the drivetrain stays aligned. Do the passenger and driver hydraulic mounts first, then the torque rods.
• Run the bolts in, lower the jack so the vehicle weight rests on the mounts, then torque everything to the factory specification. Tightening a mount while the engine is lifted preloads the rubber and brings the vibration back.
• Recheck with the brake-torque test in Drive and Reverse after the job.
• If you open the CVT or top it off, Nissan bulletin NTB14-077 specifies Genuine Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid only for the 2014-2015 Rogue and warns against ATF. Use Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid and confirm later model years in your owner manual.

Will this kit fix my Rogue's shudder from a stop?

It will if the shudder is caused by collapsed hydraulic mounts or worn torque rods. Do a brake-torque test and look for fluid leaking from the mounts first. If the CVT has stored codes or the shudder only happens at cruise, check the transmission and fluid before replacing mounts.

Does this fit a Rogue Sport or a 2021 Rogue?

No. The kit is listed for the 2014-2020 Rogue 2.5L with the CVT only. The Rogue Sport uses a 2.0L engine, and the 2021-and-newer Rogue has a different engine and mount layout.

Which mounts are hydraulic?

The passenger-side engine mount and the driver-side transmission mount are hydraulic. The two torque rods are rubber-bushed. The hydraulic mounts usually fail first and often show oily residue when they leak.

Do I need to replace all four at once?

Not always. If one hydraulic mount has collapsed, the others have taken extra load and are often close behind. Doing all four together prevents a return visit, and that is why the kit includes all four positions.

Is there a relearn after replacing the mounts?

No relearn is needed for the mounts. If you also service the CVT, follow Nissan's fluid procedure and use NS-3 fluid, not a generic ATF.
