Hi guys

Does anyone know what the part number (S) i need for the auto box filters 1992 n/a ?

I can't help with the part number, but I do have a new genuine Nissan NA Auto gearbox sump gasket if you are interested?

Ooh that might help thanks.

How much?

Do I need just normal ATF or is there anything specific grade required?

Yep I would assume that’s the one Nissan dealer said there were two little ones in the box at £18.36 each and I thought sure that’s not right lol

Hence back on here to check with the experts :biggrin::thumbup1:

Interestingly, the picture on Z Centre shows two parts, although i have no idea how many you need or if this is just a 'stock' picture.

 

As for the gasket, it's currently going for £56+ delivery on Z Centre, you can have mine for £30 inc. delivery if you want it?

 

If you want it, I'll post a picture showing the part number so you can double/triple check it's the right one.

If you PM me your VIN I will check the part# for you.

Erm, just chipping in here, we are talking about the strainer inside of the box, by nature a strainer unlike a filter can be cleaned out with complete success, use some petrol and an air line.

 

The sump gasket also is massively over priced at Nissan, we used to fit and sell ones that came with gearbox rebuild kits, they were available separately for under a tenner, your local auto gearbox shop should be able to order one for you.

Thanks guys for feed back.

In London at the mo when back tomorrow will get the vin so you can check Andrew.

Cheers Jeff so you are saying I cud use a standard gasket?

So is the Nissan dealer right and there are two small filters?

Are those the ones that need to be changed?

Think an oem one wud fit better

The dealer is not correct, and there is only one strainer fitted, the Zcentre site is showing both sides of the strainer for illustration purposes.

 

So to the actual strainer

 

 

Here is a little guide that has some useful pics on doing the job, not wholly accurate but gives a fair idea of what is involved.

I would add a few warnings, one been the mess, this can get very, very messy when done on the floor let alone in a workshop on a ramp.

If your doing on your driveway be careful, have lots of covering cardboard or paper and cloths and towels to hand.

 

The sump plug thread is a welded boss inside of the sump pan, this means you cannot therefore totally drain the pan, put the sump plug back in before removal and when you lower it down it will still have around 1/2 a litre of fluid swishing around so if you tip it it will go everywhere !

 

It is worth noting that when you do this fluid change and strainer clean that you will not of drained the torque converter, the fluid cooler lines or the cooler so when looking up capacity to refill this must be taken into account as most details about the fluid capacity is a dry one, as in totally empty.

 

When all back together add around 3 litres and start the engine, check for leaks and with foot on the brake select each gear and go back to park and switch off.

 

Let it settle and leak check again, check the cold fill level and add if needed, if all ok run engine till warm and check level with engine running.

 

Run the car for around 200 miles and drop the fluid again just at the sump and refill as above, this will help get some of the mix of old and new fluid back out.

 

 

Finally, it really is worth getting a price from a local auto trans company about how much for a fluid change with sump removal and strainer clean, reason been, you might find it is more cost effective given the cost of the fluid and time.

 

 

Good luck and enjoy if you do it yourself.

Cheers Jeff sounds like a fun time and mess but worth a go. Me and my mate reasonably handing eventuality got the cam belt and various bits on correctly ( thanks for yours and Stephens advice) so think we can do this oil change.

Some good points to bare in mind.

So there aren’t any filters to change just clean out the strainer?

About 3 litres of normal ATF needed then?

Stuart

Correct no filters, and three litres is the minimum, get four at least, that said you may as well buy a 5 litre can, and have some spare actually price wise will be better value, oh and get Dexron lll if you can. if only Dexron ll available to you that will be ok too. ( will say for autobox and power steering systems on it )
