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.

People love to speculate without knowing all the facts. A couple points I would like to bring up briefly.

First, the transmission was not low on fluid. Initially, they thought it was, but once they checked the fluid level and confirmed it was not low, that argument was invalid. For us, to ship a car without checking the fluid before it leaves is absurd. We are very thorough and know more about these cars than most techs at the dealership.

The second point, is that this transmission was not 100% when it came in. Just by looking at the condition of the fluid, we were able to determine that there was a potential issue and advised Andrew of the potential transmission problem. The transmission did work during and after the installation of the supercharger. As a matter of fact we were the one to send Andrew to the dealership to address the concern we had with the transmission. The Nissan tech came back with the nonsense story of the fluid being low. We got involved and shared the data we have on the transmission with Nissan and they took care of it. End of story.

There is a great amount of information that can be shared about Andrew's transmission that can help the whole community and we will be discussing these things in our detailed transmission write-up. So please be patient and stop speculating and coming up with stories.

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?

The car was leaking from what he told me. He took it to gtm after the show and gtm fixed the lines that you guys installed that was leaking transmission oil. If something is leaking why not fix the whole issue?

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.
