In my opinion, this is as far as you should go with an auto. It won’t get all the fluid out of the converter, but it gets most of it out and a flush can damage the transmission, so this works.

@ed92374 5 жыл бұрын

@@dannyjohnsonsgarage What I have heard to do a flush is you disconnect the line going to the transmission cooler, and start the car, use a container like a gallon milk container, drain a gallon and then turn off the car and fill a new gallon into the transmission. Then start the car again and drain another gallon, shut down the car add another gallon to the transmission. Then start it again and drain another gallon, shut it down and top it off at the dipstick (totaling approximately 12 quarts, the capacity of the transmission). Reconnect the line and now you have a total transmission flush (unlike the 5 quarts this poster drained).

Hardstyler981 If you have a filter swap it out as well. They just pull off. As for flushing, the main concern is the machine will still have the other fluid in it and flushing applies pressure in a way that is hard on the seals. There are many videos out there about it. Check one out.

Yes, it actually does matter on this particular car. You need to use the matic S or matic J. These transmissions must have the Nissan fluid in them or their fail rate is almost certain. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is. Even taking the car somewhere to have it flushed can ruin it for just that reason alone- extra fluid of another type being mixed in their machine if it wasn't cleaned out. I do not plan on any further changing of the fluid. It would be nice, but its close enough. Its been almost a full year and no problems. Thanks for watching :)

I suppose you could start first by checking the transmission fluid. On the passenger side of the engine near the wind sheild, there is a 10mm bolt you will have to take off, then the dip stick tube can come out.
