ATF for a 93 maxima.could it be trans problem?

hello,

my friend's car is low on ATF i believe, because when she puts it into R or D or whatever it doesnt go into gear, only after 1-2 tries it will. could it be low on ATF?

i wanna know what ATF u guys use. is it dexcron II/III ? is 3 better?

thanks.

IIRC You're supposed to use Dexcron 2. She may have to get the tranny serviced in a minute. These auto trannies die for any reason trust me my car has been through three auto's within the past two years. I refuse to drive like my grandma. Plus it is an excuse to go stick.

Rebuilds over here = 2200 at minimum
Replacements = 800 installed I've spent 1600 on replacements. I'm also trying to get my parents to stop paying for this to get done and hae me do a swap. They won't listen. I've killed the original 2 years ago, then a replacement just a few months ago, now I'm on my third tranny. I should get a job testing out cars if I can do this constantly.

5spd's die as well. When Maximan190 was doing his 5spd swap, I told him to rebuild it first (he didn't listen), well I know it costs $$, but anyway it had major problems right away.
