Transmission goes berserk, only when car heats up.
Hi guys,

I'm a proud new owner of an '05 6th gen 5AT. I'm having a problem where my transmission goes bonkers only after the car is warmed up and has been driven for a bit (roughly 30 minutes). When cold, it shifts smoothly with no slipping. Once it warms up, the shifts become horrific - bangs into gear when downshifting, shifts very hard from 1-2, slips from 2-3 and 3-4, hesitates here and there... Everything basically goes out of whack.

Fluid level is OK but, judging from its color, it can possibly benefit from a drain and refill. The car is under warranty, and the mechanics said that the problem is a bad solenoid (he didn't go into detail at all, so I'm uncertain as to what kind of solenoid, etc). I'm just asking here for my personal knowledge, really - has anyone ever had this problem? Does it sound like a solenoid can be the issue, or is there a deeper problem here? Anything else that I should be aware of or have them check?

Thanks guys!

Drain and fill... try some Amsoil ATF fluid. Check the group deals section here for the thread started by talkinghorse. Great guy.

I'd start there, with a fluid change, to see if that helps.

I found out that even with the Amsoil Oil Changes , it helps but not for the long run, its a band aid , You need to go back to Nissan and ask them to cover the drivetrain.

Most likely they give you a rebuilt tranny or new soleniod that will last another 50K or so before those goes.
you might also want to invest into a tranny cooler as well
theres a few threads
