Lol don't think id be soo lucky though lol. From what I hear though it wasn't because of the SC it was because of a lack of oil so that is great news. !

Which is interesting because it wasn't a Nissan tech who didn't fill the oil back. Kinda odd how they had to foot the bill for the replacement...

Well, IMHO the whole way they went about handling fluids for the 7AT is broken by design, so it's still their problem. At the very very least, they should have made it possible to accurately fill this transmission (by their own specs) without using a super expensive dealership-only tool. They could have done this with one of two minimal changes:

1) Delivered the AT fluid temp data on a standard OBD-II PID that any scanner can read, allowing the service manual directions to be followed by anyone, or:

2) Re-written the instructions to use some other piece of temp data, e.g. an IR thermometer pointed at the base of the pan after a certain warmup cycle while ambient temps are within a certain range.

It really bugs me that nobody but my dealer can officially even tell whether my transmission is filled to the proper level or not.

We will address this issue in great details in our press release, We will have a detailed guideline/producers of how to check the fluid on this trans, also we are working on producing a dipstick system to make the whole process much easier .

With the 7AT upgrades getting the final revisions for press release, what's next on the table for GTM?

VVEL? I guess no, but there's always wishful thinking.

There are a couple things we are working on. One of them is a aftermarket wide range MAF option for 600 - 1000hp. We're planning on posting that up real soon and we are entertaining the idea of developing a GTM Vehicle Monitoring System similar to the CAMP2 but much better monitoring and logging capability.

About VVEL, we don't really perceive a need for us to invest our development time since UpRev is supposedly working on it.
