Section Automatic Transmission

Classification AT87-003

Bulletin No. TS87-072

Date April 20, 1987
AMENDMENT TO TECHNICAL BULLETIN ON A/T SLOW SHIFT


This amendment refers to Technical Bulletin TS87-010, issued on January 30, 1987, which recommended DEXRON type automatic transmission fluid as a remedy for slow shift symptoms during warm-up in cold weather operation.

The information published in that Bulletin has been superseded. Either genuine Nissan fluid or DEXRON are acceptable for use in Nissan automatic transaxles and transmissions under all conditions. However, neither will completely relieve the slow shift symptom under extreme cold conditions. A fluid that will meet the need is under development.

NOTE: Dexron II should not be used in Nissan vehicles.

Please disregard the earlier Bulletin, number TS87-010, on A/T Slow Shift.
