2 Nismos transmission failure after highway driving.

+1 on having to take it easy during the break-in period. i can't imagine ragging my car out with only 300 miles on the ODO.

yeah, my fault for not heeding the break in.... but there were other 370s on that day, we are all in a convoy, one was another mt, and atleast 3 others were AT. Yes, they all have higher mileage than my car but I'm quite sure that most of them have yet to break the 1200 mile barrier either. the other nismo that stalled had 500++ miles on it with an oil cooler. I was trailing an AT 370 and not overtaking anyone.

we were in a convoy of 18 cars..... more than half of them have low mileage (bnew gtrs and 370s, porsche panamera, r8).

Molten plastic lining? That's strange. I did my own fluid swap, and there's no plastic lining on the drain bolt itself. The bolt is steel, and there's washer. Are you referring to the washer? The washer is aluminum though, not plastic. Either way, it sounds like there was some sort of sludge stuck to the bolt, which definitely is not good.

Yes, there are two bolts. There's a drain bolt and hole, and a separate bolt/hole for filling. Which pic are you referring to? This one?



That's the drain hole, and all I see is a little residual fluid dripping out.

yeah, the drain plug was the one with the black sludge on it....

I didn't personally replace the fluids but I was there with them.

Here is the exploded view of the diff from the service manual, in case anyone is curious.

hmm, methinks the OP is not one speaking from experience.
