V35 Transmission Flush

[Sasitha22]

What are the things I need to do a transmission fluid change on v35. I know there is a known problem with manual v35.. But i remember hearing it makes much better if u flush transmission oil..

So what things I need to do transmission oil change.

What brand..? What things? And how much should I pay for labour?

If its the same as the M35 (which would make sense as they're both VQ motors)

Gearbox is RE5R05A
Gearbox fluid: Nissan matic J (or Nissan matic S, or Nulon synthetic (compatible with nissan C/D/J/K, $16.60perL) or Valvoline synthetic (compatible with nissan D/J/K, $10perL))

Auto trans fluid change interval: 60,000kms

IIRC there's about 4L in the pan, but about 10L in the entire transmission. I've just dumped the 4L three times with around 5000kms in between. Fluid was putrid at the start tho.

If you want to do it yourself you need to dump the pan and clean it. Refill through the dipstick. Then disconnect a line to the trans oil cooler and run it into a 2Litre container. Run the engine till the container is full then put 2L down the dipstick tube and run the engine to pump out another 2L . Repeat until the fluid comes out clean and fill to the correct level.

Or you can pay someone hundreds of dollars to do it for you . Ring up a couple of transmission shops as well as your local Nissan dealer to get quotes.

Hang on, you said Manual box, is that correct? If so just use the recommended grade of gear oil, nothing special with teflon or anything, it will ruin the synchros.
