NOTE:
(1) When the filter becomes clogged, the vehicle speed cannot be increased as the driver wishes. In such an event, replace the filter.
(2) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(3) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
HMaintenance items and intervals with ª*º are recommended by INFINITI for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform such maintenance in order to maintain the
emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are required.

agent, and apply air blow.
2. Dip control valves in ATF, and apply ATF to the valve-mount-
ing area of upper body.
3. Install each control valve, spring, and plug to upper body, and
fix it with retainer plates.
CAUTION:
ITo insert control valves into upper body, place upper body
on a level surface in order to prevent flaw or damage.
IMake sure each control valve is smoothly inserted.
4. Install reverse balls, relief balls and relief springs, accumula-
tor pistons, valve springs and two filters to upper body.
