You can try and fit a valve body from the states and fill it with nissan fluid, It may last a bit longer and can be done with the box in the car, otherwise you will need to replace the clutch packs also, which means a full remove and rebuild. You are looking at around $3500 for that but I warn you, dont get them to high stall the converter or the trans ecu will have issues with locking it up. (as it ramps the voltage to the lockup clutch too slowly)

Kewish Automotive did mine, they have worked on similar boxes before but mine was their first M35 RE5. Shifts instantly and firmly at heavy throttle and softly at light throttle although there is still ecu lag when shifting.

Thanks for the reply. We just tried putting the nissan fluid in the box. No luck there it still slips.

Looks like rebuild time. So leave the stall converter stock is your advice.

I think i will limp it around for a few weeks

I looking into a rebuild about 1 year ago. I was going to use Dominello's in Sydney.

If you are planning on building the motor up and wanting to run a standalone ECU can I suggest you looking into a Manual Valve Body as well. That way you should be able to have complete control of the gearbox without input from the motor ECU.

Yeh i just spoke to wholesale auto transmissions they said it is a rare transmission and they dont have any rebuilt stock. Lol wish full thinking.

I found a second hand one for $1250 That will get me out of trouble for a few months and give me time to rebuild my one

Transmission let go today anyone know anybody with one.

My mechanic said it will take 3 weeks to rebuild.

Ouch. Mine took a month.

You could get on to the wreckers that bought the white M35, they might sell you a box cheap for 5k :blink:

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Maine Coone, did look at but to big and fluffy As for performance dogs, we had Mals at work, performance dogs are fun to watch, but, way to much work for this old rooster

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
