ill be replacing my transmission next week and would like to know if anyone knows how many quarts of fluid i will need for the swap...i have four quarts as of now...thanks for all the help pm me if you would like...

 

If you are changing your trany fluid, 4 quarts will be enough. You won't even use quite 4 quarts.

 

Unless you spill some! lol

Changing the Differential / Transmission Oil thread in case you need it.

 

im changing the entire transmission...the transmission will be fully empty?need to know how many i will need to fill it up

 

it still shouldnt take more than 4

 

+1

 

what does it say in your owner's manual?

 

umm i never checked..didn't think it would say that info in there...most people dont' change there own transmissions...usually a repair shop has that info..

 

They're right. Buy 4 quarts, you'll use around 3.5

 

exactly. buy 4 quarts......3 quarts is just not enough. the service manual say that the tranny takes just over 3 quarts, but when I changed mine, it took about 3.33 quarts before fluid started to run out of the fill hole.

 

thanks you guys..yeah finally getting rid of this 03 tranny..never really got the full feel of my cars power cause of the grinding problem...putting a 05 g35 tranny in came outa a car with 12000 miles...hope everything works out

 

You can change your own tranny out but can't figure out how much fluid it takes this should go well.

 

will let everyone know how everything goes...with tranny swap...swapping out this weekend

 

installed cd009 tranny from a 05 g35 today and no gear grind at all...really love my z now

 

When you get the 30k maint. done is transmission fluid change included in that? I called because I thought the transmission fluid needed to be changed at 30k and the nissan dealer told me it was 60k?

 

+1 on the four quarts thing..you'll only use 2.5 for your tranny and 1.5 for your diff...im 90%sure...
