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.

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.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Removal
1. Drain A/T fluid. Refer to AT-13, "Changing Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)".
2. Remove oil pan clips (1).
3. Remove oil pan (2).
4. Remove oil pan gasket.
• : Front
• : Oil pan bolts
• Drain plug (3)
5. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine cause of malfunction. If the A/T fluid is very dark, has
some burned smell, or contains foreign particles, friction material (clutches, band) may need replacement.
A tacky film that will not wipe clean indicates varnish build up. Varnish can cause valves, servo, and
clutches to stick and can inhibit pump pressure.
CAUTION:
If friction material is detected, flush the transmission cooler after repair. Refer to AT-15, "
A/T Fluid
Cooler Cleaning".
6. Remove magnets from oil pan.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan magnets as shown.
