Latest on Transmission replacement!!
For those of you getting your trans replaced under warrany, I just wanted to give you the latest update. Nissan is now on their 4th or is it 5th trans update. Make sure your dealer is installing the latest one that just got released. I ordered a bunch before they go on back order. The new part number is 32010-CD008 and they also replace your clutch pedal as well. Part number 46503-CD010 for the base and 46503-CD011 for the other cars. Here's a pix of the pedal assy.

Tranny updates
Thanks for the update on the tranny part number, very useful.
1. Do you know what Nissan did in the latest design of the tranny?
2. You mentioned that Nissan is making the dealers verify that every car qualifies for a tranny replacement. Can you explain what that means.
I have a a very early '03 car and as of yet my tranny has been ok, but does catch in 1-2 and 2-3 shift sometimes where it does not like going into gear easily. Not bad enough to replace at this point I am sure, but I think it will fail sometime soon.

Hey Jeff, is it a surety that all or most of us will need a tranny replace at some point in the future? Or are such problems relegated to certain/particular build dates? Thanks.

When did these new trannies go into production? I have an '04 that was built in October. Maybe this is why the VIN numbers strangely changed to 60XXX from the last batch of 53XXX.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I'm on my 2nd tranny, but I've noticed that 2nd and 5th gear seem to have a "sharp" feeling when upshifting... almost like a metal-on-metal, but without the grinding. When I shift into those gears, it just doesn't seem "right." I guess I'll see if any problems manifest after a few track weekends.

If you have a good relationship with your Dealer they will do the dog and pony show and get the okay in a matter of hours!!!

I've been waiting to see my local dealer about my transmission as it had only occasionally made the grinding noise when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Now that its cold in the mornings, the 4th to 5th shift feels like a syncro grabs the stick (no grind though). Based on your experience, do you think these symptoms will warrant a tranny swap? Just wanted a professional opion to set my expectations before proceeding with my local dealer. Thanks for your input.

Am I better off sticking with my (relativly) trouble free original tranny or doing the dog and pony show for the new one....will replacing it cause its own problems...ie. don't fixit if it aint broke. BUT im very curious to drive this new tranny to see how it feels.

Hey Jeff, I'm coming down for 3 wks and I'd like to know how I can schedule getting my tranny replaced with you guys. I went to my dealership and they just brushed me off. I'll be in Van Nuys so that shouldn't be too far from you.

My dealer just ordered me a new tranny today; I'm hoping it's this latest version but I doubt it. They said it was being shipped from NY?? and will be here in 2 days. As long as it doesn't grind and operates properly I'll be happy. They're being pretty cool and will be installing the JWT flywheel and clutch I ordered.

I called my service writer and asked about the clutch pedal assembly. He responded that he replaced the transmission with the trannie part no. 32010-CD008 per direction from Nissan Tech Line, and was not directed to change out the clutch pedal assembly.
Looks like I'll have to press him harder to call the tech line and clarify that issue. I hate it when people make gross assumptions when they get too lazy for followups!
