Forced Induction & 7AT 370z Info

M1LLER_LITE

Hey guys, just to add onto this thread I was wondering how everyones reliability has been with the stock AT. From reading the thread im getting that gear 1, 5,6, and 7 are pretty much off limits. I'll be using this as my daily driver so im just trying to get an idea at how fragile this transmission really is with the supercharger.

supercharger miles:

supercharger really wont make enough power to worry about the tranny. from all I've seen just tanny cooler will do the trick for the SC

Don't forget about having UpRev increase the pressure in the tranny. But I think most NA AT guys do that too. I don't know all the details cuz I drive a real car with a clutch pedel

yea sorry forgot that.

I have mine tuned NA like that as well. higher line pressure for faster & harder shifts.

So then what was all this talk about avoidong gears 1, 5, 6, and 7 if you have a SC'd 7AT? Is it still a concern? Im not the type to run it on tracks or redline everyday but ofcourse i do enjoy taking it up a notch every now and then. Driving 22 miles down and back for work, I shouldnt need a tranny cooler would I? I know it wouldn't hurt but I like the motto of, If it ain't broke don't fix it. Lol

Tranny cooler is a must

I'm assuming you have a supercharger. The Z did not come from the factory forced induction, so by adding it you should take precaution and add a transmission cooler to help absorb some added stress from heat. Things get real hot real quick!

You have to always worry about the 7AT Transmission bro. It is just that SC comes on a lot smoother because it is Belt Driven (Linear).

The transmission will fail later down the road compared to the Turbo. The TQ is what cause the issue for our AT platform. The limitation for our Transmission regarding torque is 400.

To preserve the life of the Transmission (One should invest in an Intercooler, GTM VB upgrade or Level Ten VB Upgrade Plus increasing the Line pressure via Uprev Software.
