Hey guys, I am new to the maxima community and I finally knocked down my 15 posts About a week ago I bought a 2005 Nissan Maxima S.E 6MT with 68k, fully loaded except for the G.P.S option. So far I love the car but I feel like it some times 2nd gear doesn't shift smootly. I would like to flush out the fluid and was wondering which fluid should I use and yes I did some research on the forum. People have different opinions, although I am a true redline fan and I would like to stick with it. I have used redline in my Evo and my vr4s and it works great. So I guess my question is which redline fluid do you guys use in the manual transmission. Do you mix Redline MTL and MT-90 or just use Mt-90 alone and what is the capacity for the transmission oil? Also I need to order couple of things and was wondering if you guys can advise me on any good sites specifically to order parts for Maximas? Thanks and I look forward to learn and have fun on this forum.

 

haha, does any 1 have a 6th gen 6 speed and have changed the transmission fluid please pitch in? I simply need to know what kind of fluid? thanks

 

redline mt-90

 

so I don't need to mix them, just Mt-90 and what is the capacity? thank you

 

i didnt mix, buy 3 quarts, but you wont get more than 2.5 in..ive done it 2x with the same results

 

Awesome, thanks

 

Post back with how the fluid coming out looks and the feel after you flush it. I have a 06 6speed with 48k miles on it and am thinking about flushing the system.

 

+2 Redline MT-90 is the way to go, after i did the flush last summer, the car shifts like butter! When I drained the transmission, i lowered my floor jack to make the car more or less level to get as much out as I could. When I filled it, I just let it flow til it started dripping out past the threads.

 

I have about 68k on the car but no idea if the previous owner changed the transmission fluid and I am not taking any chances. I will let you guys know in a couple of days how the fluid looks. I know this for a face that Redline products are awesome because I have used them in my vr4 and evo and it works like a miracle, I sound like a redline sales rep

 

i asked the dealership about the tranny fluid and i think they said you may void the warranty if u dont use the default nissan fluid.

 

Uh, no.

 

that is BS.... THEY WILL TELL U ANYTHING TO GET YOUR MONEY...

 

let me know about the tranny flush i own a 04 6speed my engine was redone about 15000 miles ago but i want to know for future reference. how often should a tranny flush be done btw?
