Transmission Solenoid Pack Question

I need a new solenoid pack for my 2003 Maxima GLE w/TCS.(I guess that's enough info.) I can't figure out if I need to buy the short-wire design or long-wire design solenoid pack for my trans. Is there anyway for me to find out before dropping the pan? Thanks for the help!

I'm surprised no one knows this question. >_< I will try calling the dealership tomorrow and see if they can help and I will post here what they tell me.

The long wired one was for the RE4F04A and the short was for the RE4F04B. You should have the RE4F04B and need the short wire. I was under the impression that all USDM 02-03 Maximas had the RE4F04B. Then there is the rare RE4F04V which has the viscous LSD.

Thanks for the reply! Is there anyway for me to be sure before I actually do buy the short-wire design?

Where are you getting it? I found one on eBay for my 00 last year for a really good price. There seem to be a lot of them available used with low miles.

I tried finding that answer for you with no luck. I would do what you suggested and call your Nissan dealer with the VIN.
I wish I could be 100% but I am pretty darn sure you need the short wire. For what its worth, I did an '02 that used the short wire version.
