Mine is starting to slip when it locks.. What are my options...level 10 is too much at 1000 bucks. Im either going nissan or a higher stall one if they are around the same price. What does a high stall one offer that the nissan one wont.

 

are you sure its you tc?

you might experience slipping from a bad solenoid.

speaking from experience, fix this right away or else you can serious damage the rest of your tranny.

 

well my soleniods where just replaced when i had my vb done so unless there is another one for the TC somewhere then i dont think it is one. let me know if there is another one for it

 

based on your symptoms and what you have already done, i have out lived my usefullness.

sorry, but automatics are a *****

did your tranny start to slip right after the vb install?

 

i got a stock one for sale from a 96 ma and a 99 i30.

 

stock tranny or TC?? im interested

and it started to give me trouble about 10k miles after vb install....

 

stock one cause i dont see a point of modding a auto

 

i meant you have a tranny or a TC....and also how much

 

how can you "not see the point" in modding an automatic transmission?
valve body work, higher stall torque converters, tranny coolers, etc...

all of these things can make huge huge increases in 1/4 times for autos...
and I don't care how good of a driver is behind the wheel and shifting a manual transmission, nobody can shift faster than an extensively and properly tuned automatic. look at the BMW SMG auto trans, for example.

don't get me wrong, I agree that a 5spd may be more fun to drive than an automatic, but when it comes down to it, computerized precision leaves no room for human error, and there's no arguing that. a properly worked auto tranny will blow the best 5spd driver away any day of the week. a lot of people fail to realize this because tuning an auto transmission to such an extent isn't too common for japanese imports... especially a maxima.

 

i let it go for $175 shipped. And i agree on the smg system from bmw but what i meant is on a maxima.

 

is that from the I30 or the max? if its out of the I30 i will take it but im gonna make sure its definately my TC that needs to be replaced. probably gonna recheck the soleniods this weekend

 

well find and let me know. i still ahve it for sale for $175 shipped.

 

is the one your selling out of the I30 or the maxima?

 

you need a 5spd.. thats what you need..

 

if your willing to find me a used 5 speed tranny and do the conversion for me then i will be at your house in 10 min

 

1) No
2) No
3) No

 

this is america i shouldnt have to move....i will buy beer?

 

i don't drink

 

neither do i but it cant help trying......i cant really complain since i have over 135000 on my auto

 

i have 131k on my engine.. i replaced my tranny recently

 

god only knows what you have done by now...its been like 2 years since ive been over

 

my car is less modded.. go to Naugi train station.. its over there

 

hows everything else going...its been a while since ive talked to you

 

Ok i guess.. bike gets more attention than the car.. i guess thats why i have spent $2000 in repairs on the car this year

 

bike is more fun anyway......im trying to aviod spending 2 grand on a 7 year old car but it looks like i might have no choice

 

it is from a i30 and i have 1 from a max also. u want it?

 

once i have the tranny guy at my dealership check out my tranny and he tells me i need a new TC i will immediately take it.......just wanna make sure its 100% the problem before i drop all this money on my tranny. I work at a dealership and gave him my keys so im just waiting on him to test drive it when hes not busy. So whenever he gets time hes gonna check it out for me

 

no problem with that.

 

You need to look at the SMG a bit closer. It's actually a manual that's computer shifted. Right down to to flywheel and clutch. you'll find to TC in that tranny.

 

i just talked to my nissan guy today and he says i need to get the part number from you. Turns out there are 2 designs for the 99's and only one fits my car.

 

no problem.
