Changing A/T FluidELS001C1
1. Run the engine to warm up the ATF.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the bolt for the ATF level gauge.
4. Drain the ATF from the drain plug hole and refill the transmission
with new ATF. Always refill same volume with drained fluid and
use the dipstick to check the fluid level as shown. Add fluid as
necessary.
To flush out the old fluid from the coolers, pour new fluid into the charging pipe with the engine idling
and at the same time drain the old fluid from the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line.
When the color of the fluid coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is about
the same as the color of the new fluid, flushing out the old fluid is complete. The amount of new trans-
mission fluid used for flushing should be 30% to 50% of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:
Use only Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J. Do not mix with other fluid.
Using automatic transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN ATF Matic Fluid J will cause
deterioration in driveability and automatic transmission durability, and may damage the auto-
matic transmission, which is not covered by the warranty.
When filling the transmission with fluid, do not spill the ATF on any heat generating parts such
as the exhaust manifold.
5. Check the fluid level and condition. Refer to MA-22, "
Checking A/T Fluid" . If the fluid is still dirty, repeat
steps 2 through 5.
6. Install the ATF level gauge in the fluid charging pipe and install the level gauge bolt. Tighten the level
gauge bolt to specification.

DRAINING
1. Stop the engine.
2. Remove the drain plug and gasket to drain the transfer fluid as
shown.
3. Install the new gasket on the drain plug and install the drain plug
in the transfer. Tighten the drain plug to specification.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the gasket.

2. Install the pinion mate shaft into the differential case so that it
meets the lock pin holes.
3. Adjust the clearance between rear face of side gear and thrust
washer by selecting the correct thickness side gear thrust
washer. Refer to RFD-27, "
AVAILABLE SIDE GEAR THRUST
WASHERS" .
Use two feeler gauges as shown to prevent the side gear from
leaning.
SIDE BEARING PRELOAD
NOTE:
A selection of carrier side bearing adjusting washers is required for completion of this procedure.
1. All parts must be clean. The bearings must be well lubricated
with light oil or DEXRON
TM type automatic transmission fluid.
2. Place the differential case assembly, with the side bearing outer
races installed, into the gear carrier.
3. Insert the left and right side bearing adjusting washers in posi-
tion between the side bearings and the gear carrier as shown.
