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.

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
