I did a drain and fill of the fluid. It was really dark brown almost black when I drained it. filled it wit 4 quarts like the Nissan tech said and checked the level every now and then but same thing.
What are my options or what can it be??
Please help guys....
Thanks much iin advance!!!  |
Given the condition of the fluid that came out during the drain I recommend you do a full tranny flush to eliminate any and all contaminants. I would do another drain and actually drop the pan this time to clean out the magnets. If you take it to a shop to have them flush it you can ask them to drop the pan and clean the magnets. An easy way to tell if they actually did that is if there are new bolts on the tranny pan. You have to install new 10MM bolts when you drop the pan because of the thread locker on the bolts.
If you still experience slipping issues after that check for the TCM (transmission control module) TSB (technical service bulletin). This should take care of your slipping issue.
