If the wrong fluid is used the transmission only last about 100 miles if you are lucky.
I think that the same company is supplying them (JATCO) to Chrysler. And the Nissan fluid is 28/quart, so yeah 100 per gallon. My sis had Haldeman do the factory 60k recommended service (which included the tranny) back in November. Either way I think that's a pretty poor design/support process. We can't service them, we don't supply parts for them, we only give you new ones and charge you major $$$$$ to do so.

Imagine if everytime your computer crashed Microsoft sold you another copy of the OS to reinstall instead of troubleshooting and fixing the computer? Oh wait they sort do that don't they

NISSAN is on the permanent **** list and I hope their attempt at a super car completely and totally gets spanked and ends of being a complete and total black eye for them both on the track and in sales and in warranty....F that company.
