Alright basically what I am asking is can the Active Suspension (Act Sus) reservoir be used to hold Automatic Transmission (A/T) fluid? (For those of you that haven't got the hint already).
The problem I see is the cap in the reservoir blowing off from too much pressure. As we all (Should) know the Q45 A/T (Possibly all A/T's?) don't suck fluid in. Rather the pulling pressure of the pump is what keeps the fluid circulating.
I do wonder how this would affect the A/T fluid back pressure?
Would testing the container with air be the same as with testing it with 176*F Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF)?
Now the great part of the reservoir is that its located just above where the Active Suspension cooler sits. So running lines shouldn't be any harder than the actual relocation of the cooler (If installed in front of the radiator/condenser.) And the great part is that the Act Sus reservoir has a level sensor and a temperature sensor. But one needs to make a harness and use the Act Sus Control Unit (CU) in order to view the data on a laptop or a Nissan Consult.
But I have a idea that might not require the Act Sus CU or much of a wiring harness. But it won't use the Nissan Consult or laptop interface either.
So are 3-4 Quarts/A/T Temperature sensor (Before or after the cooler, Depending on how the lines are routed) worth it? This all depends upon wheather the cap can handle up to say 40 PSI max pressure. I do suppose one could copy the Act Sus reservoir design and make a stronger one. Because after all who would want to replace a 4K A/T because of a a modification that was supposed to extend the life?!?! And of course clean a engine bad.
