Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about torque specifications
Q1 What are the technical specifications of the 2006-2010 Infiniti M35 drivetrain?
What are the technical specifications of the 2006-2010 Infiniti M35 drivetrain?
The 2006-2010 Infiniti M35 features a rear-wheel-drive (RWD) or all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, depending on the model. The drivetrain includes a 3.5L V6 engine producing 275-303 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. The AWD system uses Infiniti's ATTESA E-TS system for optimal traction. Compatibility is limited to models within this generation, and modifications may require specific parts or adjustments.
Q2 What maintenance is required for the Infiniti M35 drivetrain?
What maintenance is required for the Infiniti M35 drivetrain?
Regular maintenance for the Infiniti M35 drivetrain includes checking and replacing transmission fluid every 30,000-60,000 miles, inspecting the driveshaft and differential for wear, and ensuring proper alignment. The AWD system requires periodic fluid changes in the transfer case and rear differential. Routine inspections of CV joints, axles, and suspension components are also recommended to maintain optimal performance.
Q3 How do I replace the drivetrain components on a 2006-2010 Infiniti M35?
How do I replace the drivetrain components on a 2006-2010 Infiniti M35?
To replace drivetrain components, first, lift the vehicle securely and remove the undercarriage covers. For transmission replacement, disconnect the driveshaft, exhaust, and wiring harness before unbolting the transmission. For AWD models, remove the transfer case and rear differential separately. Always use OEM or compatible parts and follow torque specifications. Reassembly requires proper alignment and fluid refills.
Q4 What are common drivetrain issues and how can I troubleshoot them?
What are common drivetrain issues and how can I troubleshoot them?
Common issues include transmission slipping, unusual noises from the differential, and AWD system malfunctions. For transmission problems, check fluid levels and condition. Differential noises may indicate worn bearings or insufficient lubrication. AWD issues often stem from faulty sensors or transfer case problems. Use a diagnostic scanner to identify error codes and consult the service manual for specific repair procedures.
Q5 How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti M35 drivetrain?
How can I optimize the performance of my Infiniti M35 drivetrain?
To optimize performance, use high-quality synthetic fluids for the transmission, differential, and transfer case. Upgrade to performance tires for better traction and handling. Regularly inspect and replace worn suspension components to reduce drivetrain stress. Consider a performance tune to enhance engine and transmission responsiveness, but ensure compatibility with your vehicle's AWD system if equipped.
