Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Getting new transmission for 2014 Nismo 370z

Hey guys,

I took my car in to Nissan this past weekend to get 5th gear looked at. It would occasionally scratch going into 5th from 4th. Nissan will be replacing the transmission. Just have a few questions:

- Do the transmissions usually come pre-filled with gear oil? If so, is it a special type of break-in oil or is it the regular Nissan 75-85w oil?

- I don't know how involved or how much extra work is involved with the SRM mechanism. I recall reading that there are sensors for each gear that can be adjusted. I just hope the dealer knows this. I don't think they do too many SRM transmission replacements.

- Any harm running Redline MT 75-85 gear oil after a thousand miles or so? Or should I wait till the transmission is fully broken in?

Appreciate the feedback.
