ok when i start the car and run it in the morning or after work and my tranny switches really smooth and i get a better boost. after about 3 times of flooring it it shifts not as good.......why?

 

milage? when was the last fluid change?

 

need lots more info .... boost? are you boosted? if so, at what psi? trany cooler at all? service on it at all .....

 

Was there a complete sentence in there that I totally missed?

 

soory i didnt mean boost as in boosted. i meant the car gets up to speed after each shift quicker. i have 151k on it . i have no idea when the last fluid switch was. no tranny cooler.

 

Have you checked fluid condition and level?

 

ya i just did about a week ago. i put in tranny cleaner too, really thick red stuff i forget who makes it. thats when it started running really good. it only works really good though when i first run the car a few times after sitting and then it just goes back to how it was before.

 

sounds like you need a flush and fill on the trans ... would be worth the money I'm sure. price it around a couple places and see who will do it for you. if you have a choice for trans fluid any of the following are decent: Amsoil (contact Talkinghorse here on the forums - he'll get you a great deal!), Redline, Royal Purple ... all good. I don't know if one is better than another, I am a 5spd guy. (who uses Amsoil!) lol

Keep us posted

 

yea i got a great deal from talkinghorse. and the atf was at my house in 2 days.



next weekend im driving up to ft peirce to have an actual nissan tech help me with my tranny drop.
if you have all the gaskets and fluid ready by then im sure he woulndt mind doing two.

 

all i need is the fluid. i can just go into my schools shop....unfortunately i was asleep during hte tranny lesson. i talked to the teacher the other day and he said something about flushing fibers out along with it? and its bad for the tranny? and it freezes up? my memorys not to good but i wont need to pay for labor since theyll help me.

 

151,000 is high for a flush, i took her to the dealer and they took an hour with it and said the fluid was DIRTY. afterwards it ran great, but i digress. in the winter it takes forever to get warm and flash shifts for the first 20 miles or so.

 

have NISSAN do the flush. it may cost a little more but it is worth it. IMHO.

 

how much mileage is too much for a tranny flush?
i have 130 miles on my car and i never had it flushed, now it usually shifts hard into 2nd and 3rd,

 

Why?

Read your post again, you wrote the answer in your question.

Beat on it some more.

OR:
1) Try switching to Amsol synthetic tranny fluid, it may run cooler.
2) Get yourself a tranny cooler.
3) Start saving for a new tranny.
4) Stop flooring your car several times a day.

 

RIGHt on man,,, thats exacly what i did and will continue to do, and the fluid level is PERFECTLY bang on the line when the dealer does this

i have had other cars i took for service at various "tranny" expert places and always came out with a higher fluid level than than required !!!

 

ummmmm, did you check level and color and smell??? and, have you ever had it flushed and or changed before?? if no, look at color, and it should have a smell, but not be a burnt smell and check level while car is running but warmed up to running temperature.it should be on or a little below the h mark on stick. and blackwind, did you not see what i posted right before you??? cmon people, read the whole post before replying......
