I need info on the auto tranny for an '04 Titan 4x4. The truck is my Dads,with 90,000 miles on it, and the tranny is going out. The local dealership is being way less than helpful, so hopefully you some of you Nissan heads can help.
We were going to drop the pan and change filters and fluid to see what condition the tranny was in and to see how much clutch material was in the pan. When we got to the dealership to get parts, they told us there was no filter in the trans and that the scheduled tranny services that they preformed at 30 and 60 thousand miles were just a flush. I can't believe any manufacturer would produce a tranny without a filter and when asked if they could provide any specsheets, they gave the old man the runaround. But they would be more than willing to sell him a remanufactured tranny, now get this,....for only $3478.81. With sales tax $3639.00 and it would only cost $850 dollars to install it. When asked about just rebuilding it they said it would probably cost more. Time to push this POS over the hill and burn it.
Now my question for you is ; Is there a parts warehouse selling reman trannys for these Nissans where I can get a reasonable deal? Do any of you have any service manuals on these trannies? None of the tranny places I've ever dealt with handle Nissan transmissions and none of my contacts in the auto salvage business can find a used tranny, so I need some direction to be able to help my old man out.
Appreciate your help,
Mark
