CONGRATULATIONS!

You are at the beginning of the never ending project of getting your car back to normal. No really... but it's a damn nightmare to try and solve it yourself. Read this and you'll understand:

Trust me on this... it's best to just hand your car in to a shop and have it done by a pro, that gives you warranty on the job. For sure. Even if it'd cost you $3000 it'll be worth it.

About filling oil... I use a small pipe to fill through the oil stick pipe. It works just as good, and you'll escape the job of removing the battery and tons of other things to get to the filler hole in the front end on top of the tranny.

Sorry to hear about your slipping tranny man, it's a hell, I know.

 

1. Check supply voltage at TCU
2. rEAD following pages
2b. DO as suggested
3. Start wondering mech world: change oil, try tranny valve slip upd set, oil additives, R&R

yea im gettin rid of my max bought it for $500 with stereo intake exause rims and drop cuz it needed a new tranny ... did that.. put a new suspension in because i go through more front tires then oil changes.. now this.. i love maximas but that car just didn't work out for me .... i think im either buying my friends 99 altima se 5speed or an integra gs-r..

 

sad to say but yeah, you'd be better off with that.

 

strip yer max and get back more than you paid for it.

and get the alty

 

Part it out!
