I know it really wouldn't make sense with a cvt trans but technically since we have the "manual" mode could you just wire it up with a 350/370 steering wheel? I'm putting a cut out on my car since i eant louds but not all the time for a daily driver and just want it for the occasional pulls.

This will give you an idea of what's entailed in adding paddle shifters.

All Rogue models actually have the same CVT automatic transmission.

The difference you are referring to is the manual/paddle shifter available on some 2008-2009 SL models. All this does is select a fixed gear ratio through software... to mimic a 'Tiptronic' or manually shifted automatic transmission. This does not affect the reliability, if anything the manual shifted models are desirable as they also include a transmission oil cooler which can be beneficial if you drive in a hot climate or tow a trailer.

Good luck on your purchase!
