When having my trans fluid changed today on my '89 Maxima at Jiffy Lube, I asked them to be sure to change the filter also.
They indicated that this car only has a screen which they cleaned thoroughly. If anyone has changed their fluid on an 89, is this true or were they trying to save work for themselves?
TIA -
I read many posts saying the tran filter can be cleaned with brake cleaner.
Surprisingly, they are right.
There is no filter on 89-90 Maxima auto tranny. They just clean off the pan and put new fluid in. I recommend doing it at least every 25,000 miles as it is a lot cheaper than a new tranny. Doing so should guarantee at least
150,000 mile service life with normal driving.MotorsForum website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here. All logos and trade names are the property of their respective owners.
