Go to Jetwreck (Craig'S) workshop and get a Transgo kit installed, almost all the trans fluid is dropped during fitment, it's the best way to ensure the fluid and filter are clean, and your gearbox will love you.

If it is Matic J compatible, it will be fine to use (as will any other fluid that is Matic J compatible)

Would the transgo kit increase wear on the gearbox since the shifts are quicker?

Slower shifts cause more wear, but manufacturers opt for slower shifts because consumer usually want smooth shifts.

No.

The part throttle operation of the box is identical. It still shifts smooth.

On full throttle it shifts faster without the slurrrr.

The only harshness I've had is when the box kicks down itself to 3rd. Does it with quite a clonk. Benefits over weigh negatives massively.

Go for a ride in one. You'll see.

As Alex mentioned, the shift kit fixes the mechanical side of the shift, but the auto ecu is still an issue. Sometimes at full throttle the gearbox will shift hard but the engine isn't on power yet, this can cause a slight clunk. It doesn't happen very often.

At light load the shifts are quite gentle.

There’s a lot of products out there that have replaced Nissan Matic J, for example you can use Penrite Multi Vehicle Full Synthetic ATF FS which is a new formula of transmission oil that specify for many other vehicle makes as well.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By MBS206 · Posted

      My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.

      A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).
