Question about 04 Coupe Transmission

[TKD04G35]

Guys and Girls,I am new to the site and this is my first post. I have some questions and thought no better place to get answers than here. My son drives a 04 G35 Coupe Automatic. The car has 35,000 miles. The transmission started slipping yesterday. Wanted to know if this was a common problem or it is just because he is hard on it sometimes?

Welcome to NICO!!

At 35k, it is not common...but I'd recommend a good flush from the dealer as the car is 5 years old.

Welcome aboard!

Has he made the switch to Synthetic as well?

the 5AT transmission is not known to have issues with slippage, expecially that early in the life of the vehicle. I have 145K miles on my car now and I still haven't experience slippage. I do maintain the transmission fluid regularly though. Every 15-20K miles I do a drain/fill.

Use the Nissan Matic-J or Matic-S fluid only in the automatic transmission.

The car is under warranty for power train for 6 year/70K miles. I would check to make sure the transmission is under warranty with the dealer and if the problem continues I would make them fix it.

flush, not drain and fill
