Sorry mine is 2004 model with 70000k on it was due for first service so i was going to change all the oils . Was doing a bit of reading and some people are suggesting castro transmatic j is a exact same thing so i thought i might ask you guys first . But cheers !

Go to Jetwreck (Craig'S) workshop and get a Transgo kit installed, almost all the trans fluid is dropped during fitment, it's the best way to ensure the fluid and filter are clean, and your gearbox will love you.

If it is Matic J compatible, it will be fine to use (as will any other fluid that is Matic J compatible)

Personally I wouldn't be mixing fluids, Use the Matic J unless you are fully flushing the box or installing a Transgo kit.

Would the transgo kit increase wear on the gearbox since the shifts are quicker?

Justjap I think I saw b4

Slower shifts cause more wear, but manufacturers opt for slower shifts because consumer usually want smooth shifts.

[=CPV35=]

So what your saying is installing the transgo will make the car shift faster but it won't be as smoothe as before? Will it be jerky

[PN-Mad]

No.

The part throttle operation of the box is identical. It still shifts smooth.

On full throttle it shifts faster without the slurrrr.

The only harshness I've had is when the box kicks down itself to 3rd. Does it with quite a clonk. Benefits over weigh negatives massively.

Go for a ride in one. You'll see.

As Alex mentioned, the shift kit fixes the mechanical side of the shift, but the auto ecu is still an issue. Sometimes at full throttle the gearbox will shift hard but the engine isn't on power yet, this can cause a slight clunk. It doesn't happen very often.

At light load the shifts are quite gentle.

There’s a lot of products out there that have replaced Nissan Matic J, for example you can use Penrite Multi Vehicle Full Synthetic ATF FS which is a new formula of transmission oil that specify for many other vehicle makes as well.
