AT
Revision: June 20062007 Versa

Gaskets, seals and O-rings should be replaced any time the A/T is disassembled.

It is very important to perform functional tests whenever they are indicated.

The valve body contains precision parts and requires extreme care when parts are removed and serviced.
Place disassembled valve body parts in order for easier and proper assembly. Care will also prevent
springs and small parts from becoming scattered or lost.

Properly installed valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. will slide along bores in valve body under their own weight.

Before assembly, apply a coat of recommended ATF to all parts. Apply petroleum jelly to protect O-rings
and seals, or hold bearings and washers in place during assembly. Do not use grease.

Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage to O-rings, seals and gaskets when assembling.

Clean or replace ATF cooler if excessive foreign material is found in oil pan or clogging strainer. Refer to
Refer to .

After overhaul, refill the A/T with new ATF.

When the A/T drain plug is removed, only some of the fluid is drained. Old A/T fluid will remain in torque
converter and ATF cooling system.
Always follow the procedures under “Changing A/T Fluid” in the AT section when changing A/T fluid. Refer
to AT - 1 7 , "
Changing A/T Fluid" , AT- 1 6 , "Checking A/T Fluid" .
Service Notice or PrecautionsUCS005M4
ATF COOLER SERVICE
If A/T fluid contains frictional material (clutches, bands, etc.), or if an A/T is repaired, overhauled, or replaced,
inspect and clean the A/T oil cooler mounted in the radiator or replace the radiator. Flush cooler lines using
cleaning solvent and compressed air after repair. Check Service Bulletins for latest A/T oil cooler cleaning pro-
cedure. For radiator replacement, refer to Refer to CO-11, "
RADIATOR" .
TORQUE CONVERTER SERVICE
The torque converter should be replaced under any of the following conditions:

External leaks in the hub weld area.

Converter hub is scored or damaged.

Converter pilot is broken, damaged or fits poorly into crankshaft.

Steel particles are found after flushing the cooler and cooler lines.

Pump is damaged or steel particles are found in the converter.

Vehicle has TCC shudder and/or no TCC apply. Replace only after all hydraulic and electrical diagnoses
have been made. (Converter clutch material may be glazed.)

Converter is contaminated with engine coolant containing antifreeze.

Internal malfunction of stator roller clutch.

Heavy clutch debris due to overheating (blue converter).

Steel particles or clutch lining material found in fluid filter or on magnet when no internal parts in unit are
worn or damaged — indicates that lining material came from converter.
The torque converter should not be replaced if:

The fluid has an odor, is discolored, and there is no evidence of metal or clutch facing particles.

The threads in one or more of the converter bolt holes are damaged.

A/T malfunction did not display evidence of damaged or worn internal parts, steel particles or clutch plate
lining material in unit and inside the fluid filter.

Vehicle has been exposed to high mileage (only). The exception may be where the torque converter
clutch dampener plate lining has seen excess wear by vehicles operated in heavy and/or constant traffic,
such as taxi, delivery or police use.

Changing A/T FluidUCS005M9
1. Warm up A/T fluid.
2. Stop engine.
3. Drain A/T fluid by removing the drain plug. Reinstall the drain plug to the specified torque.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse drain plug gasket.
4. Refill the transaxle with new specified A/T fluid through the A/T fluid charging pipe. Always refill the tran-
saxle with the same volume of A/T fluid that was drained out.
5. Run engine at idle speed for 5 minutes.
6. Check A/T fluid level and condition. Refer to AT- 1 6 , "
Checking A/T Fluid" .
A/T Fluid Cooler CleaningUCS006KH
Whenever the A/T 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. Identify the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler hoses.
2. Position an oil pan under the A/T inlet and outlet fluid cooler
hoses.
3. Disconnect the A/T 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 Transmission 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 A/T fluid flows out of the cooler
inlet hose for 5 seconds. Drain plug: Refer to AT- 2 5 7 , "
Components" .
Fluid grade and capacity: Refer to MA-11, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

STALL TEST
Stall Test Procedure
1. Check ATF and engine oil levels. If necessary, add ATF and
engine oil.
2. Drive vehicle for approximately 10 minutes or until ATF and
engine oil reach operating temperature.
3. Set parking brake and block wheels.
4. Install a tachometer where it can be seen by driver during test.

It is good practice to mark the point of specified engine
rpm on indicator.
5. Start engine, apply foot brake, and place selector lever in “D”
position.

DTC P0734 A/T 4TH GEAR FUNCTION
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
DTC P0734 A/T 4TH GEAR FUNCTIONPFP:31940
DescriptionUCS005ON

This malfunction will not be detected while the OD OFF indicator lamp is indicating another self-diagnosis
malfunction.

This malfunction is detected when the A/T does not shift into fourth gear position or the torque converter
clutch does not lock up as instructed by the TCM. This is not caused by electrical malfunction (circuits
open or shorted) but by mechanical malfunction such as control valve sticking, improper solenoid valve
operation, malfunctioning oil pump or torque converter clutch, etc.
CONSULT-II Reference ValueUCS005OO
Remarks: Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicUCS005OP

This is an OBD-II self-diagnostic item.

Diagnostic trouble code “P0734 A/T 4TH GR FNCTN” with CONSULT-II is detected when A/T cannot be
shifted to the 4th gear position even if electrical circuit is good.

This diagnosis monitors actual gear position by checking the torque converter slip ratio calculated by TCM
as follows:
Torque converter slip ratio = A x C/B
A: Output shaft revolution signal from revolution sensor
B: Engine speed signal from ECM
C: Gear ratio determined as gear position which TCM supposes
If the actual gear position is much lower than the position (4th) supposed by TCM, the slip ratio will be
much less than normal. In case the ratio does not reach the specified value, TCM judges this diagnosis
malfunction.
This malfunction will be caused when shift solenoid valve A is stuck open or shift solenoid valve B is stuck
closed.

Gear positions supposed by TCM are as follows.
In case of gear position with no malfunctions: 1, 2, 3 and 4 positions
In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve A stuck open: 2, 2, 3 and 3* positions
In case of gear position with shift solenoid valve B stuck closed: 1, 2, 2 and 1* positions to each gear
position above
*: “P0734 A/T 4TH GR FNCTN” is detected.
