PRECAUTIONS
Before performing any diagnostic test, vehicle should be driven for approximately 10 minutes to raise transmission to the proper operating temperature of 122 to 176. During stall testing, never hold throttle wide open for more than 5 seconds at a time. Extended stall testing can overheat transmission and cause serious damage. Nissan Matic 'D' ATF is the only fluid accepted for warranty, service contracts and goodwill repairs. Before performing any internal repairs, thoroughly clean the outside of the transmission case to prevent contamination. Use lint free cloth or towels for wiping parts. Common shop towels can leave contaminating fibers on the transmission parts and cause improper transmission operation. When servicing the valve body, valves, sleeves, plugs, etc. should slide along the bores in the valve body under their own weight. Before assembly, apply a coat of ATF to all internal transmission parts. Use petroleum jelly to protect o-rings and seals, or to hold bearings and washers in place during assembly.

Important Note: Nissan Matic 'D' must be used in performing repairs paid by Nissan/Infiniti, such as warranty, service contract, or good-will repairs. There will not be reimbursement for repairs when non-genuine Nissan Matic 'D' is used.

PRECAUTIONS
Nissan does not recommend flywheel resurfacing. If flywheel is not within specification, replacement is recommended. Refill transmission with the proper viscosity and amount of gear lube for the anticipated temperatures. To help prevent clutch judder, avoid excessive grease to clutch disc splines, input shaft and throwout bearing. Be sure to clean off any excessive grease. To avoid transmission contamination, inspect the shift lever dust boot for cracks or damage, and replace if needed. Install plastic wire ties to insure a tight fit of the boot to the shifter and housing. Before reinstallation of a removed transmission, inspect the engine to transmission alignment dowels for damage. Damaged dowels can cause misalignment of the engine to transmission, and this can cause the transmission to jump out of gear.

Vehicle indoors or in the shade (well ventilated location) Doors closed Windows open Hood open Temperature on "Max" cold setting Discharge air on "Face Vent" Recirculation switch on "Recirc" Fan speed on "High" A/C switch "On" and verify A/C Clutch engagement Engine speed at idle RPM Verify heater cock is closed Operate the A/C system for 10 minutes before taking measurements

Precautions: 1. When removing the compressor, store it in the same position as it is mounted in the vehicle. Failure to do so may cause lubricant to enter the low pressure chamber and cause compressor damage. 2. Allow components stored in cool areas to warm to area temperatures before removing seals. This prevents condensation from forming inside A/C components.

PRECAUTIONS
1. Never reuse drained brake fluid. 2. Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. 3. Use clean brake fluid to clean or wash master cylinder wheel cylinders, and disc brake calipers parts. 4. Mineral oils such as gasoline and kerosene should not be used. They can cause damage to rubber parts of the hydraulic system. 5. Use flare nut wrench when removing or installing brake line fittings. 6. Always torque brake lines. 7. Always replace brake pad shims when replacing brake pads. Warning: Clean brake pads and shoes with a dust collector to minimize the hazard of airborne particles or other materials.

BATTERY CONDITION
Battery Sulphation: A battery will be completely discharged if it is left unattended for a long time and the specific gravity becomes less than 1.100. This may result in sulphation on the cell plates. To determine if a battery has been sulfated, note its voltage and current when charging. If low current and higher voltage are observed in the initial stages of charging a sulfated battery is likely. A sulfated battery may sometimes be brought back into service by means of a long slow charge, 12 hours or more.

Do not quick charge a fully discharged battery. After charging, if the specific gravity of any two cells varies more then .050, the battery should be replaced.
