If it goes out the repair is to install a new high dollar unit from Nissan. Honda on the other hand does have a routine service integral on them. Time will tell about the Honda units.
I look at the Nissans as throw away cars.

Its quite funny inside, it has a ROM that you have to remove and replace in your replacement transmission otherwise it wont work - Nissan will glady sell you a new one for high 3 figures. (a tiny 1.5 inch square)
They built it so cheaply that the counter gear before the diff has different ratios on different units, To get around expensive machining, nissan just stacked washers under the sensors on units that had larger gears in there. (how much money did they save with that?)
the sheave pulleys ride on ball bearings in grooves and we all know what ball bearings can do to sliding grooves - specially when you apply torque on them (the transmission applies all its torque on 6 ball bearings) - its pretty silly to be honest.
