First impression is it looks well made and robust. I also like the simplicity.

More videos like this please! 🤓

It would be awesome if you filmed putting it on again, so we have an idea of how it's done. Keep up the good work!

Interesting to see inside the gearbox, thanks. My daughters Zoe only managed to do 8k miles before gearbox started making  a loud banging noise. Just had new gearbox & drive shafts on Renault warranty. All running well again now 😅

Thanks Matt, As always a very enjoyable and informative video.
Cheers Bob.

That park actuator could be eliminated by adding a good old fashioned pull up hand brake lever. Love them.
In a previous life, I was an automotive parts person, and that plastic gear looks a lot like a speedometer drive gear. Not sure that's what it is, but that's what it looks like to me.

Thank you for that interesting look inside, did you unmount it just for your video?

Really informative, had no idea how they worked.

My ENV200 reduction box had the diff disintergrate at about 60,000 miles🙁. I bought a second hand complete gearbox and fitted it myself for £500.
Even though there were thousands of metal particles, they had all been collected by the two magnets, which supprised me.
It is a good idea to not use full throttle from standstill, as the torque from electric motors is immense, and untill the gears are spinning you are asking all that torque to be transmitted by only couple of teeth
The fact that the gears rotate faster than ICE cars is good! If the gear rotates twice as fast, the strain that each tooth sees at that instant in time is halved.

Incredible video. Very informative. I love how simple this gearbox is and how durable it has proven to be after 100,000 miles.

Ooh I did enjoy that! Do love seeing the working innards of anything. Thinking about that parking actuator failing, I guess rather than going to the local greasy muddy breakers yard for parts like that we'll be going to dedicated EV recycling hubs where they separate out all the useful parts from old EVs. Just like the breakers yard but with less grease and no mud!😅

Very interesting, that's the stuff we wouldn't see elsewhere

Awesome video! Was curious to know how the EV can propel the car. Amazing how clean this looks after 100k. The beauty of simplicity!

Hi Matt, good video, what was the reason for having the gearbox apart?
As a future Ioniq owner I've been closely following all of your videos to educate myself on what to look out for e.g. battery coolant crystalisation on the 38kWh's. Thanks

Yet Nissan say don’t change the fluid …. ever. I had mine changed (ENv200) at 30k, and it came out black. I’m guessing at 60k it would have been awful if I’d not changed it. Vehicle manufacturers seem to love this ‘for life’ tag on their cars, even though it may well need regular changing to prolong the life

The park actuator… demonstrating why, you should always apply the park brake on an automatic (EV or ICE)… never leave the weight of the car sitting on the gearbox…

Enjoyed this.  Thanks!

The race on that right ball bearing definitely looks like it has rotational wear from spinning against the casing.

My thoughts on the plastic part.
This part (differential) is a regular sub-part in earlier Hyundai-Kia cars, and used to be connected to the speedometer. It no longer has that function here, and on newer models (Nior), it no longer does.
Great video, thanks.

Thanks for your videos. There were some misconceptions I had about electric cars before I knew more about them. Ie I thought there were 2 separate electric washing machine-type motors, one on each wheel driving them which I thought was a high maintenance and complicated way of doing it. But now see it is just like a normal ICE engine drive.

We've just bought a used Nissan leaf (we did do a test drive and it ran nice) and will be collecting it on Wednesday really just because of ULEZ and the daily £12.50 charge. We are now back to a 2 car family. The Leaf for everyday local (and not so local) journeys and our diesel for our touring around the UK. Hopefully, we will recoup some of the money by not having to pay the ULEZ charge, and money on diesel using overnight cheap charging.

The only thing we found funny about the car is it still had 12 bars, was a 2014 and had 60k on the clock. Wondering if its a new battery or the original driver just drove it really well.
