Most transmissions are rated by the amount of torque they can handle. It's interesting Jatco don't seem to give any torque figures, only recommended engine capacity.... A strange way of rating a transmission!
Apparently there have been well over 5 million of the JF011E CVT's made (they started production in 2004):
So it's an old CVT that's been around for a long time. http://www.jatco.co.jp/ENGLISH/monozukuri/first/ http://www.jatco.co.jp/ENGLISH/products/cvt/jf011e.htmlDecember 2004

Because of its fuel efficiency and easy mounting, this global unit is mounted on various vehicles from manufacturers all over the world, currently being produced in Japan, Mexico and China. In December 2004, JF011E was first mounted on Nissan LAFESTA. In July 2010, it became the world's first CVT unit whose accumulated production attained 5 million.
