Is the CVT transmission on a Jeep Patriot interchangeable?
I found 2010 – 2014 transmissions for a few hundred dollars cheaper than a 2007 Patriot transmission. I wish there was a clear answer on whether or not they are interchangeable I wonder how feasible it would be to install a manual transmission? Could get all the pieces from a single donor vehicle.
Can a FDII transmission work on a Jeep Patriot?
Could get all the pieces from a single donor vehicle. I guess the various linkages for the clutch and gear shift would complicate things. A FDII transmission will not work, you would also need to swap out the rear differential gears to match the FDII transmission gear.
What kind of transmission do I need for a 2007 Patriot?
Nissan is the same way. Your 2007 has low range, so you may want to find a FD2 transmission from 2008-2016 models. In 2007 all CVT Patriots had low range, but 2008-2016 non-FD2 CVT’s have had autostick. FD2 has always had the low range.
Can you swap a manual transmission for a four speed?

The variables are the proper flywheel for a GEN IV engine and choosing a clutch disc that will match the input splines on the transmission you choose.
