AT Transmission Slipping

suggest taking to a transmission shop

I suggest you take it to a transmission shop; they can diagnose your problem.

I would get it checked out just had my transmission go out after some minor slippage that I ignored over the period of about a year.

Hows your car been running man?? Im the guy from Boxxline who tuned your 8 about 1 1/2 year ago.. Weve been working with alot of Nissans vq engines lately, and i recently got a 2009 GTR with low miles. After seeing what others have been doing with the turbo 8's we will probably built a rotary monster real soon.

Observation....I usually checked my transmission fluid when engine/tran is hot however yesterday checked when cold. Using that method, I need some more fluid. Decided to add Lucas treatment as part of the top up.....car appeared to grab better during hard acceleration afterwards. From now on, will check when cold.

It states in the manual to check when engine is warm though? I just checked my fluid levels because of your post and my tranny fluid was way low. Added a quart of not Lucas but a similar name brand tranny lubricant and the tranny is running really well now. It seems like its holding the gear longer now, which I like. Thanks
