Common Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

Q1

What is the compatibility of the 7r01-transmission for the 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35?

The 7r01-transmission is specifically designed for the 2008-2013 Infiniti EX35 models. It is compatible with the VQ35HR engine and supports both rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. This transmission is not compatible with other Infiniti or Nissan models due to unique mounting points, electronic control unit (ECU) programming, and drivetrain specifications.

Q2

What are the maintenance requirements for the 7r01-transmission?

The 7r01-transmission requires regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. Inspect the transmission pan and gasket for leaks and replace the transmission filter every 60,000 miles. Additionally, ensure the transmission mounts and linkages are inspected during routine service intervals to prevent wear and tear.

Q3

How do I install or replace the 7r01-transmission in my Infiniti EX35?

To install or replace the 7r01-transmission, first, disconnect the battery and remove the driveshaft and exhaust components. Support the engine with a jack and remove the transmission crossmember. Disconnect the wiring harness, shift linkage, and cooler lines. Lower the transmission using a transmission jack. Install the new transmission by reversing the removal process, ensuring proper torque specifications for all bolts and connections. Refill with the recommended transmission fluid and test for leaks.

Q4

What should I do if my 7r01-transmission is not functioning properly?

If your 7r01-transmission is malfunctioning, first check the transmission fluid level and condition. Low or contaminated fluid can cause issues. Inspect for error codes using a diagnostic scanner. Common issues include slipping, delayed shifts, or unusual noises. Check for leaks, damaged wiring, or faulty sensors. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician for a thorough diagnosis and repair.

Q5

How can I optimize the performance of my 7r01-transmission?

To optimize the performance of your 7r01-transmission, use the manufacturer-recommended transmission fluid and ensure it is changed at regular intervals. Avoid aggressive driving and excessive towing to reduce wear. Regularly inspect and maintain the transmission cooling system to prevent overheating. Consider upgrading to a high-performance transmission cooler if you frequently drive in demanding conditions.
