What happened? You track the car ever?

No track, mostly highway, something just gave up inside. Dealer does not know, Nissan had them replace fluid and then check it several times over 2 days to see if the noise went away, which it didn't. They told them to replace the unit.

Picked it up yesterday, put 100 miles on it today, running great now. Paperwork said torque converter locked up, seems like something that can be fixed, but technician told me Nissan won't let them open up these transmissions anymore.

Glad you got it fixed. Yep, that seems to be Nissan's policy. My buddy's Cube had a slipping transmission and they just replaced it, no other option. Probably best that way.

Yeah... Japaneese know the average American tech is incompetent. They would just screw it up more.
