Nissan remanufactured $2,200 from Joe + transportation + labor and ATF. Should replace the rear engine seal while it is out. Should add an auxiliary ATF cooler.

You will recieve $400 for returned core less your shipping expense.

128k Still has a problem hills and ramps to the freeways.

Not as bad as before the BG cardon clean up, but still not like new.

Mileage is not as important as the 12 YEARS of what I assume is mostly City [128k] driving as opposed to rural interstate..................maybe it is near the 100,000 shift cycle design limit?

In ATL we charge $2950 but our labor rate is $85 probably a lot lower than SFA.

ALWAYS secure a NISSAN REMAN as local transmission shops don't do as complete a job and charge [thousands] extra for new TC and Valve bodies.

Shop around for best price fom many different Infiniti dealers and Nissan independents..................300z TT shops.
