ok man thanks

my dealer is not that generous, they told me 6k.....

so it might be aamco who does my work...895 plus parts, but I guess they wont know exactly until they take it apart.

ravrunner

my tranny is contaminated and it triggered the check engine light, got codes dealing with the solenoids or something like that. Anyone know if taking it to AAMCO is a good choice?, guy told me repair is at $895 plus whatever parts I will need. I should definitely tell them to refill it with matic j ...

ravrunner

yeah considering the price of $6000 price the dealer gives you!!!

ravrunner

If it is infact contaminated....why not flush with something cheap like matic D/dextron (any trans shop $70-ish) then "spill and fill" as needed with Matic J - that way your at least sure you're not circulating coolant contaminated fluid and risking damage. you think this would reset the ...

Can anyone tell me where the drain bolt plug is?

ravrunner

how much did nissan charge you?

ravrunner

I guess my mechanic is going to flush as much as possible, im trying to get all the contamination out. What different methods are there? My mechanic said he'll use regular transmission oil with a machine and then he will take that out and leave the regular dealer "transmission oil". hopefu...

ravrunner

wow those guys at the dealer told me that it only takes 6 quarts. So when they do a flush its 12 quarts?

ravrunner

Yes I know i bought another 6 quarts for the entire flush. Do you mean 6 to flush and the other 6 that will remain in there?

ravrunner

Went to the dealer and asked for a transmission filter since i am doing the flush, to try to get rid of contamination already in my pathfinder....dam radiators, but no filter is required, there is just a screen like datsun08 says.

ravrunner

I got the fluid at the dealer, 70 bucks for 6 quarts.

My mechanic is doing the flush...

ravrunner

Does anyone one know or recommend I change the transmission filter after I do the flush?

I looked for the part but couldnt find one.

And I should also use NIS ATF MATIC-S 999MP-MTS00P fluid?

ravrunner

Dryart, thanks for the recommendations, i think the radiator will be best o replace because it looked pretty bad when the tech guy took off the cap, no sighns of green at all, almost pure white strawberry substance. As for the flushes, then I am going to do it right away, i was waiting on recieveing...

Guys, I just finished reading all 10 pages of the thread and maybe I am to late to do this on my 05 pathfinder with 64K miles. 3 days ago at a stop light my service engine light came on and noticed some loss of power on the car at the start of accerleration, GUESS WHAT.... Dam radiator failed and mi...

ravrunner

I am going to have the tranny flushed because I have a bigger problem already, my coolant started mixing already, due to a bad radiator....

anyway doing the "bypass" as well.

Do you know how much I have to put in there to get the tranny fluid to normal levels? And where did you buy it?
