Ordered what i thought to be the pilot filter for my UK spec Auto Box.

 

Nissan werent sure what a pilot filter was so they ran a search for "filter" on the box and came back with two tiny oil filters for the control valve. Theay are about the size of my thumbnail

 

The part numbers are 3172641x01 and 3172641x00

 

Are these the correct filters or am I after getting the wrong parts.

 

Help appreciated

PS

Only asking as autobox seems to be slipping. ie cant maintain overdrive.Or find gear if floored.

 

Do these filters in the control assembly clog up an if so what symptoms would you expect to encounter???

 

cheers

Hi Roy, sorry could not get my phone to work on recall after our chat, maybe country code problem.

 

I did speak to the auto box guy we use who said that there is a big as in about 7" by 4" metal/ plastic fillter which is the main trans fluid filter, this is in plain view once the pan is removed,

The other filters are solenoid actuator block filters that fit inside the said unit.

 

So seems Nissan need to look at their info again, will try and get part numbers for you tomorrow just in case.

 

Hope that helps

Sorry mate if youre box is slipping in overdrive and probably second then you may find it is youre brake band that has started to go..i have got same problem and i am a mechanic and have been through everything else and found the brake band is worn ...Quite common on TT's...

IT will need to be rebuilt...

You will find if you put the box in hold mode it will lock out kick down to aviod doing too much more damage to the band...

This brake band operates second and overdrive only.....

UK spec so no hold button.

 

How hard is it to repair the brake band surely it wont need a full rebuild?

 

Do you know if this can be performed with gearbox in or out.

 

How did you get on with yours when this happened

 

Thanks
