I dont know what the normal temp is for that trans but i do know 200 degrees is ok for transmission fluid. What are the temps after stop and go traffic? My lexus es300 gets to 180-190. I forget what trans is in that.
Yea its an Aisin. Its always shifted firm and i never can get used to it. It basically slams into 3rd. I just wanted to know it wasnt overheating. I have heard of many failing at low mileage and mine currently has 189,000 and it still works like it did when i bought it.

Have you changed the ATF often over the years? Whether it's been just drain & refills(like I do) or pan drops with filter/screen & pan gasket, has this been done during the life of your tranny? Also, if so, what ATF have you been using?
There is an ATF that I have prefered over the years in my '04 Altima's 4 spd for it's consistency of shift quality in all conditions.

Just asking!

Im using nissan K matic fluid like it states in the manual. It is very specific about that. Ive only done drain and fills because the 5AT does not have a serviceable filter.
