3500 RPM limit issue

The manual says no, most dealer says no, but other owners on this forum have posted they've had theirs flushed, even a few who said the dealer said it was necessary..

what i gathered from everything i read that changing the fluid in the 7AT is a bad thing. would i like to based on what i know about cars and wear, yes i would. am i going to? probably not. if something goes wrong then maybe i will. but 30k miles and not one issue aside from previously mentioned hiccup with a sensor tripping.

I've been dealing with this issue for 3 years. Every time the nissan specialist would come out he couldn't re-create the issue. I sent him this link and videos i've taken myself. Luckily every "fix" they made was covered by nissan. Yesterday though he flew up again to see if he can duplicate this issue and finally it happened to him! He hooked up his data recorder to the car and got loads of data to take back to the engineers. If it ends up being a AT problem i'll be pissed because i just replaced my transmission back at 60,000 miles. I'm just glad he got the data that they were looking for in order to find a solution. my350z forum under 370z section, others have suggested MAF sensor, but we'll see and once i do get results i'll post them.
