In city driving and 1 hour drives the transmission is flawless.
So, if you do the bypass, and take long road trips, the external is not good enough.
Valvoline MAXLI. It was a drain and fill by local mechanic. The fluid is fine, maybe even a tad over...but I checked without the car running. The fluid is clean from top.eieio wrote:the external cooler, under nearly all circumstances, is sufficientRotorian wrote:Gents, I performed the bypass and my first long road trip the xmission started shaking.

we all know this
i think you have something else going wrong
assuming it is your transmission that is shaking, have you double checked the fluid level & condition?
what kind of fluid is in it?
can you please post your transmission temps after the bypasseieio wrote: the external cooler, under nearly all circumstances, is sufficient

If you are asking me, I have no idea. however there was a post around these forums or even this thread that showed the xmission temp to be 220 after the bypass. Never though anything of it. However, must guys I've talked to say anything above 180 is asking for trouble??thetrance wrote:can you please post your transmission temps after the bypasseieio wrote: the external cooler, under nearly all circumstances, is sufficient

I did not pour the fluid, the shop did.slavabon wrote:Highway driving should not be a problem with overheating, since your external cooler is most efficient here. Unless, of course you are towing something up the hill, adding more load. This is the first time I'm hearing of any immediate issues as a result of the bypass. Since your fluid level is good (overfill is not good either by the way), could it be something else? Is that fluid you poured in compatible with Nissan transmissions? What are the symptoms - jerking when you release the gas while on the highway?
