Want to know how to do a full fluid change on a 2005 altima's transmission

If your vehicle has the CVT for the transmission, you must use the proper fluid first off. (Nissan NS-2)

There should be a drain plug on the transmission. These transmissions dont have a cooler lline that runs through the radiator to cool the fluid like older vehicle, some of them have a cooler built into the transaxle assembly that actually has coolant running through it. Below i have included a list of the various transmissions used in this vehicle, be sure to use the proper fluid or this will ruin the transmission very quickly and will void any warranty (if still available). You can also check the handle on the transmission dipstick, there should be a label stating which fluid to use.

*Note: Do Not Overfill the fluid, any slight overfill will cause poor operation of the transmission. If there is a way for you to measure how much you drain out, i would strongly recommend doing so, and be sure to put that same amount back in, as to reduce the chance of overfilling.


Hope this helps...
