allright, im not doing it but what other than the rear main seal and input shaft seal ( if needed ) should i ask the tranny shop to do???? im guessin they're going to put fresh fluid in, i dont think they're going to put the old fluid back in from my other one. btw, its a used tranny with 70,000 miles on it and the place where i bought it is giving me a 3 month warranty. they did my nieghbors tranny in 1 day and that was a rebuild. its an auto btw.

 

Drive shaft seals?
Take a peak inside it?
Change the fluid?

Auto or Manual?

 

synthetic fluid, regasket and seal the trans.
rear main seal on the motor
have them rebuild the trans completely

 

its used dude^^^^ its not going to be rebuilt, they want over 2,000 for a rebuild. what fluid for trans????

 

you asked what you SHOULD ask the shop to do.
so I said what you should ask.
Synthetic Dexron III.
do not use regular DEXRON III.

 

why synthetic???? what are the benifits of synthetic over regular??? brand????? cost difference????

 

synthetic because regular has too high an ash content and isn't good for the trans. You could buy the nissanmatic fluid at the dealer if you really wanted too, but it's probably cheaper to buy the synthetic.

 

problem is, the cars allready at the shop. any brands you could recommend so i can call around and find or ask them to buy??

 

just tell them to get the OE nissanmatic fluid then

 

nissanmatic fluid is for newer cars 04 or higher. i called the dealer and thats what they said. dextron 3 and a softener additive is what i'll have to add. probably bg or something similar.

 

there is a nissanmatic-d that was used in the older models as well.

 

well, luckily for me the shop had some fluid that they say they use on all their tranny replacements and its supposed to be one of the best on the market.
