I wish I had done it earlier which is why I'm posting this.

i'm calling Nissan garages today for mine. 48k miles and randomly now when the car is hot or up to temp I am getting a small clunk/jerk when it downshifts into 2nd.

based on it doesn't do it when cold i'm guessing thicker fluid when cold so no issues. when hot it thins out due to age/mileage and that's when the clunk or whatever you want to call it occurs.

sadly the first dealership I called said they've never worked on a 370....I hung up.

I wish I had a lift and the tools to do it myself but a stealership may be the easier option this time around.
