A/T FLUID
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
A/T FLUIDPFP:KLE40
Changing A/T FluidACS0079Z
1. Warm up ATF.
2. Stop engine.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Drain ATF from drain plug and refill with new ATF. Always refill
same volume with drained fluid.
To replace the ATF, pour in new fluid at the charging pipe with
the engine idling and at the same time drain the old fluid from
the radiator cooler hose return side.
When the color of the fluid coming out is about the same as
the color of the new fluid, the replacement is complete. The
amount of new transmission fluid to use should be 30 to 50%
increase of the stipulated amount.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF. Do not mix with other fluid.
Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF will cause deteriora-
tion in drive ability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the automatic trans-
mission, which is not covered by the warranty.
When filling ATF, take care not to splash heat generating parts such as exhaust with ATF.
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check fluid level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 2 , "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If fluid is still dirty, repeat step 2
through 5.
7. Install the removed A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe.
8. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
Checking A/T FluidACS007A0
1. Warm up engine.
2. Check for fluid leakage.
3. Loosen the level gauge bolt.
4. Before driving, fluid level can be checked at fluid temperatures
of 30 to 50°C (86 to 122°F) using “COLD” range on A/T fluid
level gauge as follows.
a. Park vehicle on level surface and set parking brake.
b. Start engine and move selector lever through each gear posi-
tion. Leave selector lever in “P” position.
c. Check fluid level with engine idling.
d. Remove A/T fluid level gauge and wipe clean with lint-free
paper.
CAUTION:
When wiping away the A/T fluid level gauge, always use
lint-free paper, not a cloth one.A/T fluid: Genuine Nissan Matic J ATF

10. Tighten the level gauge bolt.
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningACS007A1
Whenever an automatic transmission is 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 the 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 the Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with ade-
quate 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 the Trans-
mission Cooler Cleaner in a continuous stream into the cooler outlet hose until fluid flows out of the cooler
inlet hose for 5 seconds.Level gauge bolt:

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 sec-
onds 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 the 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 AT- 1 5 , "
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.
3. Insert the extension adapter hose of a can of the 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 the Transmission Cooler Cleaner only with ade-
quate ventilation.
Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
Do not breath vapors or spray mist.
4. 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.
5. Tie a common white, basket-type coffee filter to the end of the
cooler inlet hose.

Shift MechanismACS002LE
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.

A/T CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2004 November 2004 FX35/FX45
TCM FunctionACS002LF
The function of the TCM is to:
Receive input signals sent from various switches and sensors.
Determine required line pressure, shifting point, lock-up operation, and engine brake operation.
Send required output signals to the respective solenoids.
CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE
The automatic transmission senses vehicle operating conditions through various sensors or signals. It always
controls the optimum shift position and reduces shifting and lock-up shocks.
