Yes Sir! My car is in the shop for new internals for my transmission now. As this was one of my options or at least I asked my mechanic. Even on car parts when you put 03 Maxima in 2002-2004 I35 trannies pop up. Go for it Homie

BLACKKILA.GTR before your tranny decided to shell out on you, did it have a delay at shifting between 1st and 2nd at WOT?

Mine will have a delay and stay around 6k for a sec or so before shifting into 2nd and wanted to know if that was a early sign of it about to die

That doesn't sound right, you shouldn't have to add an additive to make it work, change that fluid ASAP, they probably used garbage. If you have the Amsoil, get it changed. You have an auto right? If you do a drain and refill you will need 5-6 quarts, all 11 quarts don't come out. After 2 weeks I would drain/refill again to make sure you get as much of the old stuff out. Just make sure you use the right fluid.

exactly what he said. i ran into a problem with mine when they did my fluid exchange. was supposed to be a fill and refill, they did the suction. car died a week or so later. was noted that they added that crap fluid as well.
i stuck with the nismatic d, but im sure youll be alright with aftermarket I just didnt want to go with anything outside of what I knew worked.

I would stick to using OEM transmission fluid. Detergents in the others are not always compatible.

Yep, I know a guy with 200k on his bone stock GLE.

How the motor hasn't blown up yet, I don't know (precats yikes!).

Driven hard I think 30k intervals is a must. I have a MT, but I turned my fluid brown in 10k miles.
