Return the Altima to the ground, but make sure the car is still on level ground. Clean the pan thoroughly and set it aside to air dry. Tighten the screws evenly with a torque wrench. Google it for the spec. Yes, bad on Nissan for not making this more clear and not publishing a prevalent spec that assures owners a fluid meets it or not.
Put the new gasket on the transmission pan and align the holes to make sure you have the correct gasket. Using a torque wrench, tighten the drain plug to 22 to 29 foot pounds. Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes. Also make sure if you have it serviced that this number is reset to 0 to restart the tracking. Start the engine and flushed through new fluid until all the old fluid was replaced. It's really a chicken and egg situation.
With dipstick means serviceable trans. Using any other fluid will contaminate the fluid reservoir and render it unusable. It was beyond the full hash mark for full. Questions, pictures, articles, build threads, track videos, we will eat it up. Had it over 40k miles and my car runs great.
Lock the emergency brake all the way to the floor of your car. If you have Nissan, you should follow Nissan's Recommendations, especially if you're still in warranty, they can void the warranty if you use a fluid that does not meet the required specs. If you need help with parts or a link to a guide from the nissan forums I'm happy to help. First, check for fluid leakage. Place your dipstick into the fill port to check the fluid level after you have shifted into each gear of the transmission. Going to call Marlboro Nissan for another quote but just wondering what is the average cost for this service? It's extremely simple, just removing a drain plug and letting all the old fluid run out. I'm gonna have to read the Service manual.
Correct, 60,000 miles is what the guide says and the general consensus on most forums. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. And you cannot prove that you followed the correct maintenance procedure. Safely support the vehicle with wheel blocks and jack stands. If you do not within 10K the trans will be toast. Such as, safety glasses, jack stands, no loose clothing, etc.
Remove the transmission pan's bolts with your 17mm socket wrench after all of the fluid appears to have drained out. Remove the jack stands so that you can lower your car with the jack. Rick answered 8 months ago Your car comes with an Owners Manual, although some Manufacturers also have an accompanying service and maintenance guide. You may use a lint free cloth soaked in solvent if needed. As I live in south Florida with nights at low 80s and days in upper 90s, my transmission whines whenever I drive 75 or above. Inside the exchanger is a tank with a bladder. Changed my fluid over the weekend.
Regardless of what people think this does happen. The Versa overflow tube is located in the oil pan. In some of the posts it mentions to check the fluid level with the engine running but it doesn't mention that in the write up. These transmission are basicly throw aways when they go back you cant rebuild them like other transmissions the way the belt is ran on the inside the fluid is very crucial. Remove the old gasket and discard it. Wait for the fluid to finish draining from the transmission.
Otherwise, replace the dipstick, close the hood and turn off the engine. Insert the dipstick into the filler tube. Without fresh fluid, the components of your transmission are likely to start chipping away due to the friction of shifting gears. Position a drain pan beneath the transmission. They can't void your warranty for your trans if you follow their procedure and use the correct fluid. I'm beginning to get highly annoyed with the conflicting information I've been getting on this.
Use a funnel to replace that same amount of new fluid to the transmission through the dipstick tube, located beneath the hood. If the car starts whining or won't start at all, then it's the result of using the wrong transmission fluid. I am thinking those notches in the dipstick should correspond to levels for room temperature check, maybe??? Close the shut-off valve and remove the charging pipe from the oil pan. Do you have to jack your car up to drain the oil?? Probably won't go beyond that. As I live in south Florida with nights at low 80s and days in upper 90s, my transmission whines whenever I drive 75 or above. Thanks for the good point.
In previous models it was located in the same area but the tube was longer and the cap could be unlocked and actually had a metal dipstick. GrantHussle answered 2 years ago The person autocomnissan, does not work for. This would most likely entail a hassle on your part and most likely the rental of a vehicle in the meantime. Finish the procedure by completing Step 3 from Section 1. Tighten the bolts to 6. The level was above the crosshatched region. Install a New Filter and Fresh Transmission Fluid Push the filter tube back into the mounting boss, making sure it's sealed.
