SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect lower lever of control device and control rod.
2. Remove manual lever from A/T.
3. Remove control rod from vehicle.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

After installation is completed, adjust and check A/T position. Refer to AT- 2 0 6 , "Adjustment of A/T Posi-
tion" and AT- 2 0 6 , "Checking of A/T Position" .
Adjustment of A/T PositionNCS0008U
1. Loosen nut of control rod.
2. Place PNP switch and selector lever in “P” position.
3. While pressing lower lever toward rear of vehicle (in “P” position
direction), tighten nut to the specified torque. Refer toAT- 2 0 5 ,
"CONTROL ROD COMPONENTS"
Checking of A/T PositionNCS0008V
1. Place selector lever in “P” position, and turn ignition switch ON.
2. Make sure that selector lever can be shifted to other than “P” position when brake pedal is depressed.
Also make sure that selector lever can be shifted from “P” position only when brake pedal is depressed.
3. Move the selector lever and check for excessive effort, sticking, noise or rattle.
4. Confirm the selector lever stops at each position with the feel of engagement when it is moved through all
the positions. Check whether or not the actual position the selector lever is in matches the position shown
by the shift position indicator and the transmission body.
5. The method of operating the lever to individual positions cor-
rectly should be as shown in the figure.
6. When selector button is pressed in “P”, “R”, or “N” position with-
out applying forward/backward force to selector lever, check but-
ton operation for sticking.
7. Confirm the back-up lamps illuminate only when lever is placed
in the “R” position. Confirm the back-up lamps does not illumi-
nate when selector lever is pushed against “R” position in the
“P” or “N” position.
8. Confirm the engine can only be started with the selector lever in
the “P” and “N” positions. (With selector lever in the “P” position,
engine can be started even when selector lever is moved for-
ward and backward.)
9. Make sure that transmission is locked completely in “P” position.
10. When selector lever is set to manual shift gate, make sure that manual mode is displayed on combination
meter.
Shift selector lever to “+” and “-” sides, and check that set shift position changes.

7. Disconnect heated oxygen sensor 2 harness connectors (A).

: Vehicle front

: Bolt
8. Remove heated oxygen sensor 2 harness (B) from clips (1).
9. Remove bracket (2) from transmission assembly.
10. Remove clip (1), oil pan (2) and oil pan gasket.

: Vehicle front

: Oil pan mounting bolt

Drain plug (3)
11. Check foreign materials in oil pan to help determine causes of
malfunction. If the ATF is very dark, smells burned, or contains
foreign particles, the frictional 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.

If frictional material is detected, perform A/T fluid cooler
cleaning. Refer to AT- 1 4 , "
A/T Fluid Cooler Cleaning".
12. Support transmission assembly with a transmission jack.
CAUTION:
When setting transmission jack, place wooden blocks to
prevent from damaging control valve with TCM and trans-
mission case.
13. Remove rear engine mounting member with power tool. Refer to AT- 2 4 2 , "
Removal and Installation" .
14. Remove tightening bolts for rear extension assembly and trans-
mission case.

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
25. Remove engine mounting insulator (rear) with power tool. Refer to AT- 2 4 2 , "Removal and Installation" .
26. Remove bolts fixing A/T assembly to engine assembly with power tool.
27. Remove A/T assembly from vehicle with a transmission jack.

Secure torque converter to prevent it from dropping.

Secure A/T assembly to a transmission jack.
28. Remove air breather hose. Refer to AT- 2 4 1 , "
Removal and
Installation" .
INSPECTION
Installation and Inspection of Torque Converter

After inserting a torque converter to a A/T, be sure to check dis-
tance “A” to ensure it is within the reference value limit.
INSTALLATION
Install the removed parts in the reverse order of the removal, while paying attention to the following work.

When installing A/T assembly to the engine assembly, attach the
fixing bolts in accordance with the following standard.
–: Engine to transmission
–: Transmission to engine

Align the positions of tightening bolts for drive plate with those of
the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then
tighten the bolts with the specified torque.
CAUTION:

When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from
the front of the engine.

When tightening the tightening bolts for torque converter
after fixing crankshaft pulley bolts, be sure to confirm the
tightening torque of crankshaft pulley mounting bolts.
Refer to EM-53, "
TIMING CHAIN" .

After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft several turns and check to be sure that
transmission rotates freely without binding.

Install crankshaft position sensor (POS). Refer to EM-26, "Removal and Installation" .
