  1. 5th Generation Altima (2013-2018)
    My 2015 Altima 2.5 has P17F1 stored. Short of replacing the entire transmission, is there anything that can be done to repair it or at least prolong its life, and what exactly is happening in the transmission that causes it to shudder? I got this car at 88k miles, noticed the judder at around...
  2. 4th Generation Altima (2007-2009)
    My Nissan Altima 2.5 SL sedan is starting to run into some issues, there is a somewhat heavy jerk when accelerating around 1.5k-2k RPM, I've been told that CVT's usually give out at around the 100k mile mark and I just hit it about 7,000 miles ago and it started having issues a few months back...
  3. 5th Generation Altima (2013-2018)
    I have been spilling and filling every 30k-ish miles, and just did it for the fourth time at 124k miles. I do not know if the filter has ever been replaced. Is replacing the filter necessary?
  4. 4th Generation Altima (2007-2009)
    I believe this will work, but I can't find anyone who has done it with an Altima. I want to change the fluid on my 2008 Altima 2.5L CVT transmission, but it does not have the drain in the pan. To avoid the mess, I want to know if anyone uses a fluid extractor through the dipstick tube to remove...

    My wife's 2012 altima 2.5s is have what seems to be a major performance issue. On a flat it tries to rev up past 3000 rpm and even with such a high rev it barely pucks up speed.

    I have a 2008 Altima Sedan (Base Engine). My mechanic says that the 'torque converter clutch solenoid' is going bad which is causing the issues I am having (see below). Does anyone know where I can buy this part? I can't seem to find it anywhere online or at a local auto part store. Thanks...
  14. 3rd Generation Altima (2002-2006)
    I have this weird issue where I saw few red oil drops while I was backing out in snow. I had to accelerate(may be at 2500 rpm) to wiggle the car out of snow. I saw few drops of red oil(transmission/steering fluid) on the snow. However I did not observe any more after I drove very slow in the...

    I've not had the slightest problem with my tranny since I had the valvebody changed and new synthetic fluid, but ... yesterday I took the car into the Sierra Madre and after 30 minutes climb, I had to stop for an hour with the bonnet up. The temp gauge stayed steady throughout, there was no...

  17. 2005-2006 Altima SE-R
    I tried the search but could not find the answer to this question. What is the difference between the SE-R auto transmission and the normal 3.5 altima autos? Are they interchangeable? My car is currently at the dealership getting a used transmission put in and it was an ordeal trying to find...

  19. 3rd Generation Altima (2002-2006)
    So, I have an 03 Altima and its about to be on its 4th transmission. Getting them put in at shops is starting to get a bit too much for me at $2,400 each time. I've decided I'm going to do this one on my own. Will any 3rd gen trans bolt up? and how hard is swapping them out?
