Re: Transmission Control Unit..HELP!!!!!

If your car is a 99 and it is below 60K miles it should be covered by warranty should it not?

I believe it's the computer in charge of telling then transmission when to shift... sounded very expensive when nissan told me that it was dead.

It's not too expensive like $175 ...I got the code last year, did I price search on it. But reset the CEL first and it never came back, it's been over a year.
