Nothing seems to go right...transmission?
I did a search...most of the problems I've been hearing about are not what I am having, so hopefully this will be a brief thread....
'98 Auto SE, 59,400 miles. B&M Tranny cooler, UR UDP are the internal mods. I JUST (Tuesday) changed the tranny fluid/filter, fuel filter. The tranny fluid was CLEAN, very clean!!! They may have actually changed it before that gave me the car at 51,800 miles.
Anyway, the problem occured BEFORE I CHANGED THE FLUID/FILTER. The problem is also intermittant...seems when the car is cold, the noise isn't there. DISCLAIMER: when I shift from reverse/drive, I always ALWAYS come to a complete stop, but who knows what was done for the 1st 50k on the car, right?
The problem: when I shift from drive to park/reverse/whatever when the car is warm, the tranny makes a pretty loud clunking noise that I am almost positive it never made before. However, my old car did that all the time, and it was fine.
I am just curious to know if anyone else has this noise, or if I should get my *** to Nissan ASAP before the original (I have an extended too) warrantee runs out.

do you think I should replace the UDP with stock? No one ever notices I put it on, but then, I never take my car to Nissan unless I HAVE to......

well knowing Nissan, you should probably take the UDP off....they'll have some excuse that this is causing the problem and tell you your warranty is void ....

well, I just talked to the dealership, and they are going to take a look at it on Tuesday. Stock pulley is returning on Monday. If I can't get the stupid thinig off, then I guess I'll risk it, but I had no trouble getting the thing off/on the first time around. They usually don't notice the pulley because it's silver, but I will attempt to put the stock one back on anyway muaha. I dunno though...they can't prove that it caused the tranny problems, plus, when I got the car, the rear main seal was leaking, so...yeah. I am guessing the previous owner of this car was a #$%^&* to the poor thing.
