Transmission
My service department called me today and told me that they replaced a soilinoid (??) or something and drove the car for 20 miles and then the transmission died? They told me that they were going to put a brand new transmission in it. I a pretty happy about that. But my question is that dont they usually just rebuild the tranny and not give you a new one?

They will more than likely install a rebuild or "remanufactured" tranny under warranty, even though they might tell you its "new". Expensive parts (A/C, alt, etc) are often rebuilds with the same warranty as new.
They would rather replace the tranny and send you down the road, than to waste time trying to figure out the problem is and try to fix it.

PS: remember to take it easy for 1000 miles to break in the tranny nicely.

Much different that the previous models. I got a pretty good deal on a 1.8t for 26k drive out. it arrives in 3 weeks. But I will still be round here on the boards.

kind of...
you'll get it if you fight for it. I had to threaten to sue (got a lawyer to write the letter and everything) before they would work on a car in similar situation after a second failure.
So yes, you get a new warranty, but they'll fight you for it.

Warranty change
I may be misreading something, or I am misinformed but as far as I understand warranty work, you get the longest of the overlapping warranties (your original and the service warranty). Say you were on the last day of your original warranty and you get the transmission repaired/replaced. The transmission is now only covered until the end of the service warranty (typically 90 days), not another 3 year/36K. Anyone know otherwise?

Re: Warranty change
I had a transmission replaced on a 93 Eclipse GSX with 59,000 miles. At 70,000 something went wrong and I argued (and won) that I should get another 3/36 on the transmission and they should fix it again.
They didn't agree, but after the letter from a lawyer (always good to have a lawyer friend) they "decided to do the work at the expense of the dealership.... we all know what that means.
Not sure if you can bully Nissan the same way, but I'd have lawyer-friend write the letter in a heartbeat.

Re: Transmission
What a coincidence!, I went in with the same problem as you did. Had the TCM and solenoid replaced and within 3 days my tranny was totally shot! I just dropped off my car like 2 hours ago and they will put in a remanufactured tranny from Nissan. Hopefully everything works well.

If i were you, I'd go with the 3.0 quattro. Much better than the 1.8T.

My car is @ 38k and change and the tranny is shot. The local dealer has been completely incompetant and I've mentioned the tranny seeming to slip once before, and then again with the TSB in hand.
Well my schedule has horrid so I haven't been able to get this taken care of earlier in the week when she started her rapid decent to Tranny Hell. Tomorrow I'm nursing her to a much larger dealer with a good reputation, about 45 minutes away.
My plan is, Have someone competant take care of the tranny and Let them know about the other dealer's disregard.
I figure that the circumastances of disregard for reputation, customer and brand being noticed in the region of the dealer doing the work, should prompt some harsh rattling of a dealer certifications.

Smart move taking your car to another dealer. I'd recommend also contacting the BBB after your work is complete and you are completely satisfied.
