#7 of 40 1996 300Zx Auto Tranny Problem by 300zx_sacca Mar 26, 2007 (8:24 pm)
- Eng/Tranny makes Clunking Noise when in "P" or "N", noise goes away in any drive Gear or Rev...sounds like the e Torque Converter is Knocking, maybe loose bolts, but no access w/o removing the starter, Tranny Support Brackets, Tranny Bolts and Tranny cover-plate. I also think the Fluid is reading "HIGH" when checked Cold & Hot. - Car was running Fine other than occasional Chunking in "P" & "N", but now the car will only drive for about 1-2 blocks then the RPMs Spin-out...High. So, I shut the Engine Off, wait 20-40 sec's and I can drive for another few blocks - Please advise actions to take before I Drop the Tranny. Found a Used Tranny ATTARCO for $425, I can do the Labor - NOTE: bought with a SALVAGE Title in CA, was hit in the Drivers front-corner & repaired. Previously One Owner with 215,000 miles. The rest of the car seems CLEAN...Thank you, Brad
#9 of 40 transmission just gave out by 300problems Mar 30, 2007 (8:04 pm)
hey i got a problem with my '94 300zx(AT) transmission. it was working fine when i bought it about 3 months ago, then after driving it for about a month and a half the tranny just whent out. the odd part was that it didnt give any signs of goin out at all, i was just driving one night and it quit going into gear. ive talked to a couple friends about it and had all sorts of different answers, but nothing that i can really work with. the weirdest thing with it is that right when i start it up, it will go into gear, but only for a 100 feet or so, then gives out and wont go anywhere, but it's ONLY right when i start it up thats it. anyone had this problem or think they may have an idea?

#10 of 40 300Z transmission issues by prosz Jun 04, 2007 (8:00 am)
I have a 1990 300zx with 100K that i purchased about a year ago, i have had the engine replaced, body work done, repainted and now i am working on the interior, question is when i purchased the car the transmission made funny noise in 2nd and 4th, so i had the transmission replaced, i found a TT 5 speed transmission with low miles and had it installed, works great but guess what the noise is still there but not nearly as bad..... any ideas????? or experience with similar issues?????
#11 of 40 1990 300ZX Rear Differential by prosz Jun 04, 2007 (8:02 am)
I am starting to hear noise in the rear end of the car, sounds like the rear differential might be starting to wear, any ideas how to check and determine if it needs to be replaced?????
#13 of 40 1985 Nissan 300zx clutch slave cylinder problem by mugdime Jul 07, 2007 (8:27 am)
I have an 85 300zx. It's been a good car. The slave cylinder went out so I replaced it. No prob right? Yea, the new one went out too and so did the next one. I see that there is another unit mounted to the frame the seems to be a damper valve but I cant find a listing on it. Could this be my problem or am I doing something else wrong? It seems simple enough. I just remove the old one, replace it with the new one and gravity blead it. That works untill I test the pedal for pressure and then the seal blows. If anyone has an idea please let me know.

#15 of 40 1996 Nissan 300ZX manual transmission fluid. by wolffe Oct 14, 2007 (8:53 pm)
What`s the best possible manual transmission fluid for a 1996 Nissan 300ZX? I have a new 98+ spec manual transmission in it. The dealer fill 75W90 GL4 gear oil doesn`t seem to give very good shifting quality. Would something like Royal Purple Synchromax or GM Synchromesh be a better choice? I tried Redline MT90 on teh old transmission and it was worse then the OEM fill.   Also,anyone know who makes these transmissions? I`ve talked to Borg Warner/Tremec,and Aisin and they said they don`t make them.   Thanks everyone!

I purchased a 1994 5 spd. with 105K miles, drove it about 500 miles and noticed a burnt smell coming from rear or trans? Also make a grinding noise prior to trans warming up. Anyone having this issue? Is the next step to rebuild it?
