Installed VR30 7AT w/new internal filter, added auxiliary external filter, and aluminum driveshaft.

Nissan is WAY overkill with brackets on the trans.!! The one employed for the trans. breather on the bellhousing bolt at 12 o'clock is ridiculous, simply zip tied it to coolant cross-over pipe on the drivers side in damn near the same position as the bracket. I deleted 3 brackets in all not including the two that bolt to the bellhousing bottom which can't be retained due to the VR30 bellhousing missing their bolt bosses.

In the process I learned a easy way DIY transmission flush that can be employed on most vehicles. Simply remove the rubber return trans. cooler line from the hard line leading to the engine and let it drain into a container until it looks new while (caveat) pouring fluid into the dipstick tube.
