Megan370z · 09-09-2011, 08:07 PM

since a few day the car was making a weid noise and getting louder now Im discovering that the transmission is leaking between the engine/transmission.

I didnt had time to call the dealership before they close so im gonna try my luck tomorrow morning since they are open

Hopping they will be able to take care of the Z and give me courtesy car !
It will have 55 000kms tomorrow and the warranty end at 60k !

Whoa man I hope it works out for you and don't try to give you the run around since your so close to being out of warranty. Good luck

Good luck man

I'm pretty sure you have a 5 year/100,000 km powertrain warranty in Canada....

Are you NA or FI?

MattP725 · 09-10-2011, 09:19 PM

Even if not I am PRETTY sure that once a problem is occuring (and confirmed) they have to follow through with a full solution... meaning if they say it just needs a seal and that doesn't fit it, the trans could still be replaced at say 62k under warranty.

I should hope it is covered under warranty, it sounds like fluid leaked out causing low fluid levels which might have hurt the transmission. You might get lucky and just need a seal replaced, the noise going away after filling the trans back up with the correct amount of fluid.

Good luck!

I called the dealership yesterday, I was told the transmission guy are In during the week days and would be better to drop off the car anytime during the week .

Since the nearest dealership is at 1:20 hours away and dealing with all of that , I need a day off ! or atleast an half day.

I will try to get the car towed under warranty, because I disovered last night that could be possible ( from the warraty information booklet )

The last time I started the car and went under it to look where it was really leaking, *1 drop every 2sec*
There was a lot of noise comming from the Torque convector
The transmission hold 9.2 Liters. Im sure it miss half of that !!!

Damage to the transmission is very probable
so I will try to push for a Transmission replacement .

Make sure it is noted on your record if you just have a bad tail shaft seal so later on if your transmission gives out after your warranty expires, Nissan pays for it.

If mine was covered under warranty yours will be.
