Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)INFOID:0000000003532224
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80° C (176° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the ATF level gauge bolt.
4. Drain the ATF from the drain plug hole and then install the drain
plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new ATF.
Always refill with the same volume as the drained ATF. Use the
ATF level gauge to check the ATF level as shown. Add ATF as
necessary.
• To flush out the old ATF from the coolers, pour new ATF into the charging pipe with the engine idling and
at the same time drain the old ATF from the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.
• When the color of the ATF coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about
the same as the color of the new ATF, flushing out the old ATF is complete. The amount of new trans-
mission ATF used for flushing should be 30% to 50% increase of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:
• Use only the specified ATF. Do not mix with other fluids.
• Using an ATF other than the specified ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and automatic
transmission durability, and may damage the automatic transmission, which is not covered by
the warranty.
• When filling the transmission with ATF, do not spill the ATF on any heat generating parts such as
the exhaust manifold.
• Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and tighten the ATF level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the ATF to 80° C (176° F).
7. Check the ATF level and condition. Refer to AT-13, "
Checking Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)". If the
ATF is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 5.

2. Before driving, the ATF level can be checked at ATF tempera-
tures of 30° to 50°C (86° to 122°F) using the “COLD” range on
the ATF level gauge as follows:
a. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
b. Start the engine and move the selector lever through each gear
position. Shift the selector lever into the “P” position.
c. Check the ATF level with the engine idling.
d. Remove the ATF level gauge and wipe it clean with a lint-free
paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping the ATF from the ATF level gauge, always use
a lint-free paper, not a cloth.
e. Re-insert the ATF level gauge into the charging pipe until the
cap contacts the top of the charging pipe as shown.
CAUTION:
To check ATF level, insert the ATF level gauge until the cap
contacts the top of the charging pipe, with the gauge
reversed from the normal inserted position.
f. Remove the ATF level gauge and note the ATF level. If the ATF
level is at low side of range, add ATF to the transmission
through the charging pipe.
CAUTION:
Do not overfill the transmission with ATF.
g. Install the ATF level gauge and the ATF level gauge bolt.
3. Warm up the engine.
4. Check for any ATF leaks.
5. Drive the vehicle to increase the ATF temperature to 80° C (176° F).
6. Allow the ATF temperature to fall to approximately 65°C (149°F). Use the CONSULT-II to monitor the ATF
temperature as follows:
NOTE:
ATF level will be greatly affected by temperature as shown. Therefore monitor the ATF temperature data
using the CONSULT-II.
a. Connect CONSULT-II to data link connector.
b. Select “MAIN SIGNALS” in “DATA MONITOR” mode for “A/T” with CONSULT-II.
c. Read out the value of “ATF TEMP 1”.

7. Re-check the ATF level at ATF temperatures of approximately
65°C (149°F) using the “HOT” range on the ATF level gauge as
shown.
CAUTION:
• When wiping the ATF from the ATF level gauge, always
use lint-free paper, not a cloth.
• To check the ATF level, insert the ATF level gauge until the
cap contacts the top of the charging pipe, with the gauge
reversed from the normal inserted position as shown.
8. Check the ATF condition.
• If the ATF is very dark or has some burned smell, there may be an internal problem with the transmis-
sion. Refer to AT-165
. Flush the transmission cooling system after repairing the transmission.
• If the ATF contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), replace the radiator and flush the transmis-
sion cooler lines using cleaning solvent and compressed air after repairing the transmission.
9. Install the ATF level gauge in the ATF charging pipe and install the ATF level gauge bolt.
10. Tighten the level gauge bolt to specification.
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningINFOID:0000000003532226
Whenever an automatic transmission is repaired, overhauled, or replaced, the A/T fluid cooler mounted in the
radiator must be inspected and cleaned.
Metal debris and friction material, if present, can become trapped in the A/T fluid cooler. This debris can con-
taminate the newly serviced A/T or, in severe cases, can block or restrict the flow of A/T fluid. In either case,
malfunction of the newly serviced A/T may result.
Debris, if present, may build up as A/T fluid enters the cooler inlet. It will be necessary to back flush the cooler
through the cooler outlet in order to flush out any built up debris.
A/T FLUID COOLER CLEANING PROCEDURE
1. Position an oil pan under the automatic transmission's inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Identify the inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.

3. Disconnect the fluid cooler inlet and outlet rubber hoses from the
steel cooler tubes or bypass valve.
NOTE:
Replace the cooler hoses if rubber material from the hose
remains on the tube fitting.
4. Allow any A/T fluid that remains in the cooler hoses to drain into
the oil pan.
5. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of Transmission
Cooler Cleaner (Nissan P/N 999MP-AM006) into the cooler out-
let hose.
CAUTION:
• Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves when spraying the
Transmission Cooler Cleaner.
• Spray cooler cleaner only with adequate ventilation.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Do not breath vapors or spray mist.
6. Hold the hose and can as high as possible and spray Transmis-
sion Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet
hose until fluid flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
7. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
8. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and of the cooler outlet
hose.
9. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 - 9 kg/cm
2 (70 - 130 psi) through the cooler outlet hose for 10 seconds
to force out any remaining fluid.
10. Repeat steps 5 through 9 three additional times.
11. Position an oil pan under the banjo bolts that connect the fluid cooler steel lines to the transmission.
12. Remove the banjo bolts.
13. Flush each steel line from the cooler side back toward the transmission by spraying Transmission Cooler
Cleaner in a continuous stream for 5 seconds.
14. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 - 9 kg/cm
2 (70 - 130 psi) through each steel line from the cooler side
back toward the transmission for 10 seconds to force out any remaining fluid.
15. Ensure all debris is removed from the steel cooler lines.
16. Ensure all debris is removed from the banjo bolts and fittings.
17. Perform the A/T fluid cooler diagnosis procedure.
A/T FLUID COOLER DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Insufficient cleaning of the cooler inlet hose exterior may lead to inaccurate debris identification.
1. Position an oil pan under the automatic transmission's inlet and outlet cooler hoses.
2. Clean the exterior and tip of the cooler inlet hose.

hose until fluid flows out of the cooler inlet hose for 5 seconds.
5. Tie a common white, basket-type coffee filter to the end of the
cooler inlet hose.
6. Insert the tip of an air gun into the end of the cooler outlet hose.
7. Wrap a shop rag around the air gun tip and end of cooler outlet
hose.
8. Blow compressed air regulated to 5 - 9 kg/cm
2 (70 - 130 psi)
through the cooler outlet hose to force any remaining A/T fluid
into the coffee filter.
9. Remove the coffee filter from the end of the cooler inlet hose.
10. Perform the A/T fluid cooler inspection procedure.
A/T FLUID COOLER INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1. Inspect the coffee filter for debris.
a. If small metal debris less than 1mm (0.040 in) in size or metal
powder is found in the coffee filter, this is normal. If normal
debris is found, the A/T fluid cooler/radiator can be re-used and
the procedure is ended.

b. If one or more pieces of debris are found that are over 1mm
(0.040 in) in size and/or peeled clutch facing material is found in
the coffee filter, the fluid cooler is not serviceable. The A/T fluid
cooler/radiator must be replaced and the inspection procedure is
ended. Refer to CO-13

The automatic transmission uses compact triple planetary gear systems to improve power-transmission effi-
ciency, simplify construction and reduce weight.
It also employs an optimum shift control and super wide gear ratios. They improve starting performance and
acceleration during medium and high-speed operation.
