Soleniods replaced(not avalable by level 10)
The units will cost $2500 without tourque convertor.

Yes, we do need a core.

available for 3rd gens?

 

Not that I have an automatic...but....that sounds good man. I dont think many people will test the bullet proof part though.

 

welded diff!?!?!
that's straight up drag race.

 

I have a little more than 30,000 miles to go before my warranty is up and plan to do everything I can to blow up my first transmission before then. Does anyone know if this transmission would be a warranty option for my Max. I know that Nismo parts are covered under warranty, but could I get my transmission from these guys rather than OEM, anyone know the price difference? Is it a Maxima transmission that has been built? This looks like a great option

 

Jeff is it all or nothing? can part of the list be done? or does it have to have all of the items done?

 

Yeah, what he said!

 

I like this guy...

 

warrantee lasts how long?

 

what things would you like done? I'm not sure if he'll do it but I can ask him. Just to clarify when we weld the diff it's not gonna be locked. Many gears in the unit are pressed on and held in place with pins. We harden and weld them. You'll still have a differential and be able to make turns normally. Sorry I didn't clarify.

 

12 month 12k warrantee if the unit is installed by us.
Also, those with the Maximum Tuning VB mod will recieve a $200 discount.

 

I'm gonna turn you in...

I would highly doubt that the warranty would cover the cost of anything other than the exact part being replaced.

Like for example if my seat showed unnecessary wear I doubt I could have Nissan put the money towards leather seats from non-oem companies if they chose to replace it under warranty.

I could be wrong (I hope I am), but I doubt it...

 

Jeff,

Sign me up for the first one to have it installed

 

Wow that is really good. You can't find that at most tranny shops. I've only got 11k on my 2k2, but it's nice to see some interest in us auto guys.

 

ahh ok...thanks for clearing that up.

 

I want a new mod so bad i am kinda upset this is not available for me

 

Probably not...

 

Wow, great news! It's cheaper than Level Ten too.


One question, will this get rid of the annoying lag that plague the automatic?


It's very good news, it's cheaper than Level Ten, but it's still not cheap.

 

Auto conversion.

 

the TC will

 

The tranny comes with the VB of your choice. There won't be any lag.

 

Let's put it this way. If for example the 1-2 shift soleniod fails then yes we would replace the soleniod under warrantee. There is no reason to rebuild the complete unit because of that. If however somthing else fails causing damage to other components in the unit then we will either rebuild or replace the unit if one is available. These units are intended for racing applications which are considered severe so if you put a 150 on shot on the car, launch it, break an axle or blow the motor and blame the tranny that obviosly won't be covered. We have a pretty good rep at making sure things are done right and you guy's are kept happy. But for all intensive perposes, parts and workmanship is covered.

 

One of us is totally confused, and honestly I'm not sure who it is.

I took his post to be: "I have the stock OEM tranny, I kill it. Will Nissan cover putting in your tranny as a replacement under the OEM warranty".

I think you took it to be: "Are your trannies covered under warranty".

I don't for a second doubt the caliber of your work, and have read many of your and your customers post. In all honesty I am impressed with your services. As many of us know the maxima could use a lot more aftermarket support!

 

I already have the VB, but the lag is still there. I'm not talking about the lag in the shifts. Just sometimes when you step on the gas, the auto won't downshift and just lags there.

 

that would be the torque converter...it's locked and sometimes you have to blip it. :-\ Sorry, dear.

Anyhoo, this sounds like a pretty good deal. I'd be really interested if I could scrounge up the cashola.

 

So, an upgraded torque converter should eliminate this? If that's the case, that's something I should look into.

 

How about a bullet proof manual tranny?

 

i know gang of auto boys who will be intrested. not sure if you stated but when will it be available?

 

i know the intent of this is to be able to place massive power on a crappy OEM nissan tranny with out worrying about reliability issues, but i'm wondering how this will effect performance numbers. valve bodies+tc should definately lower times, right? people say .3-.6 secs with just a vb, so maybe .5-.8???

 

Come on guys, you can do a 5spd swap for that price, actually maybe even a little less than that. More like 2500, installed 5spd w/ LSD, & ACT clutch.

 

A Godzilla tranny will NOT make up for the pathetic transmission's programming. Its electronic and controlled by software.
Sure, your bulletproof tranny will shift great----whenever it wants to -- not necessarily when you want it to. LAG LAG LAG!

Its ECM time. Is Nissan listening? Where are the software tools for the tuners out there? Nissan needs to share the technology with the aftermarket.

 

As some of you have read on my threads about this subject, what this gentleman is proposing is not an easy task. I have searched high and low for almost a week now for stronger parts to keep my tranny from blowing up every 6 mos. This time as last time, the converter failed. My mechanic told me that the tranny has very small and weak pieces and he doesn't believe that it will hold. What is being proposed here is EXACTLY what the Dr. ordered. Nissan has been making weak and puny autos for a while now. As the engines get bigger gen after gen, the space is limited and thereby sacrificing one of the bigger parts of the car (the tranny). By making room for the engine and making the tranny smaller, smaller more precise but weaker parts are used.

I for one have seen my tranny in a thousand pieces twice now. I don't care to see it again unless it's for good. If you are for real, contact me directly and we'll talk. I would really love to be a guinea pig on this one, if you and me can chat first. I'll definetly be able to tell you if it's "bullet proof" or not, trust me.

 

my god..

 

That's one expensive tranny for a serious enthusiast!

Where would we get this installed? $2900 doesn't sound bad, if it does offer greatly improved performance and reliability over the oem tranz.

 

You'd have to reprogram the TCM or create a device that modifies the signal to the shift soleniods manually.

 

How will this deal be for those that are not in the same state as you are in?

 

Will the 3-Mode Automatic Transmission TCU Upgrade from JWT remove the lag?

 

We will ship out of state and the warrantee will stand if the unit is installed by a certified transmission repair shop with ASE certified mechanics. Documentaion from the shop must be presented upon filing a warrantee claim.

JamieCBR, I'll PM you snd I'll put you in touch with Matt my tranny tech. He is also familair with the weak parts in these units that are prone to fail.
Maxima06071, $2500 is for the unit without the TC, $2900 is for the unit with installation @ Maximum Tuning without the TC.
I can't quote prices on TC's because they vary on the stall speed you want.

These will also be available for 3rd gens.

 

I have a 3rd gen turbo with level tens stage 3 pts rebuild mobiletek vb, level tens torque converter.Just curios have any of your parts been tested to out perform level tens products?Also what type of welding can be done on the 3rd gen auto?When you speak of gears can you change these on any model?And the welding of the differential will this solve the peg leg launches?I can tell you this level tens pts has special clutch pack machined to add a extra clutch pack what would be the difference in your kit.Sorry for all the questions but I have been interested in doing some thing to the gears and differential.
