On the 7AT there are two plugs. One is the main drain plug, and there is another small allen hex drain plug that is the set plug for fluid level. There's an adapter you can get to connect to the main drain plug, and pump in half a qt of fluid into the trans. Get the fluid temp within spec, and pull the level plug, until it comes to a slow drip. That's how you check and set fluid level.

To exchange the trans fluid first get vehicle to temp, drain fluid from main plug, measure what you take out, pump back in the same amount taken out with clean fresh matic S fluid, run vehicle to temp, going through all the gears a few times, then repeat this same process 2 - 3 times. On the final fill up put in a half qt more than what was taken out to set to the correct level using the previously mentioned fluid level check.

Back to my previous response. If there are no signs of leakage why would you feel a need to check it? The fluid will not just disappear. Not like the old days where a ruptured vacuum modulator would allow fluid to be sucked into the engine.

When buying a used car how are you certain that the fluid is at the correct level? Better safe than sorry, even with no signs of leakage. Its a good, quality habit to know your car in and out and make sure all the fluid levels are at their proper spec. If you had bought the vehicle new, there really is no need to check it, but its still not a terrible idea to know how to if the need ever arises. Sure you could just take it to a dealer for all the maintenance, but some people would rather do the work themselves.

Most dealers perform a "multi-point" inspection when a car comes in for any service. I'm not sure if anyone ever takes the time to pull all four wheels to check brake pad thickness - wear indicators should alert most non-enthusiast owners to a need of attention. It's easy enough to pull an engine oil dipstick, but I have to believe other driveline fluids are never checked during these inspections unless an external leak is noticed to arouse suspicions. That said, for those of us souls who trust no one, including the assembly line, what would be a fair amount of labor time for a dealership service department to charge to check driveline fluids (that's what, two on RWD and four on AWD?) on a car that is already on a hoist for a multi-point inspection?

Hello everyone, I have a 17’ Red sport 400, does anyone know where under the hood I can check transmission fluid levels?

my transmission seems to shift funny when i firat take off, like it jumps into second gear or something, or shifts to soon

BuzzLight - Tell your friend that the 90's called to say they took their transmission dipstick back. They grabbed the fanny pack as well if he's looking for it. And while they were at all that they also filed copyright on your username.

He was last seen here 11 months ago...I doubt he'll see this.

Ah...thanks Pillboy...didn't realize I was in an Easter thread when I responded! Ironic because I like to make snarky comments about going back in a time machine when people respond to an old thread or comment!

The transmission does do a bit of rev-matching on upshifts in some scenarios such as slight incline/decline
or if there is very light throttle. The programming also tries to put the car into the highest gear possible
for fuel economy sake.

Unless its a really abrupt or rough shift I wouldn't worry too much about it, if it does feel that way
bring it into Infiniti as and have them take a look. Generally speaking these transmissions are rock
solid even when the car is tuned.

I don't suppose you could translate this into English?

I was trying to fix an odd clunking noise I sometimes get.
I'm coasting & get back on the throttle just casual, it will kick down a gear with a badly timed down-shift giving an audible thud. I think it's between 3rd & 4th gear.
40k miles currently.
It would be hard to replicate the symptom to the dealer.
I'd like to get the dealer to change the fluid to the low viscosity Nissan stuff, but a live 3 hours away.

. Did u fix ur problem ?
