A/T FLUID
Changing the A/T Fluid (ATF)
INFOID:0000000005148723
CAUTION:
If using the vehicle for towing, the A/T fl uid must be replaced as specified. Refer to MA-9, "
Introduc-
tion of Periodic Maintenance".
1. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80 ° C (176 ° F).
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the A/T fluid level gauge.
4. Drain the A/T fluid from the drain plug hole, then install the drain plug with a new gasket. Refill the transmission with new A/T
fluid. Always refill with the same volume as the drained A/T fluid.
Use the A/T fluid level gauge to check the A/T fluid level as
shown. Add A/T fluid as necessary.
• To flush out the old A/T fluid from the transmission oil coolers, pour new A/T fluid into the A/T fluid charg-
ing pipe with the engine idling and at the same time drain the old A/T fluid from the auxiliary transmis-
sion oil cooler hose return line.
• When the color of the A/T fluid coming out of the auxiliary transmission oil cooler hose return line is
about the same as the color of the new A/T fluid, flushing out the old A/T fluid is complete. The amount
of new A/T fluid used for flushing should be 30% to 50% increase of the specified capacity.
CAUTION:
• If Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF is not available, Genuine NISSAN Matic J ATF may also be used.
• Using ATF fluid other than Genuine NISSAN Matic S ATF or Matic J ATF will cause deterioration in driveability and A/T durability, and may damage the A/T, which is not covered by the warranty.
• When filling the transmission with A/T fluid, do not spill the A/T fluid on any heat generating
parts such as the exhaust parts.
• Do not reuse the drain plug gasket.
5. Install the A/T fluid level gauge and tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification.
6. Drive the vehicle to warm up the A/T fluid to approximately 80 ° C (176 ° F).
7. Check the fluid level and condition. If the A/T fluid is still dirty, repeat steps 2 through 6.
8. Install the A/T fluid level gauge in the A/T fluid charging pipe and install the A/T fluid level gauge bolt.
9. Tighten the A/T fluid level gauge bolt to specification. Drain plug : Refer to

TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY
• When installing transmission to the engine, attach the bolts in the order as shown.CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or transmission you must make
sure the dowels are installe d correctly during re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause
vibration, oil leaks or breakage of drivetrain components.
NOTE:
*: No.2 bolt also secures air breather vent.
• Align the positions of bolts for drive plate with those of the torque converter, and temporarily tighten the bolts. Then tighten the bolts
with the specified torque. Refer to TM-186, "
Removal and Installa-
tion (2WD)".
CAUTION:
• When turning crankshaft, turn it clockwise as viewed from the front of the engine.
• After converter is installed to drive plate, rotate crankshaft
several turns and check to be sure that transmission rotates
freely without binding.
• Install crankshaft pos ition sensor (POS).
• After completing installation check fluid leakage, fluid level and the
positions of A/T. Refer to TM-148, "
Checking the A/T Fluid (ATF)", TM-164, "Checking of A/T Position" and
TM-164, "
Adjustment of A/T Position".
