These transmissions have been


known to have wiring issues, so
we disconnected the connectors:
C1 at the transmission and C3 at
the computer. Then we checked
the resistance between pin 10 at
the C3 connector and pin 1 at the
C1 solenoid connector (figure 1).
The wire had less than 0.5 ohms
resistance, so it was okay.
Next, we decided to load the ASSEMBLY-

We pulled 7 amps through the (RC)

We repeated this test on the

RESIZE THE
TERMINALS
Before we sprang for a new
computer, we decided to resize the
pins, the way we do on the A604.
It was a nice thought, but the
computer has T-shaped cavities
and the pins are flat and thin.
None of the wire terminal tools
worked for removing the pins.
So Rusty came up with
the idea of taking a damaged
computer apart, cutting one of
the male pins that protrude from
the computer, and pulling it from
behind to make a resizing tool
(figures 2 and 3).
Once we had our tool, we
resized the terminals (figure 4). It
worked well in all the terminals
except cavity 10; the blue/
black wire that went straight
to switch 7. We found the
problem, managed to remove Figure 2
the terminal, retighten it, and
replace it.
With all the terminals
resized, we took the vehicle
on a test drive. The problem
never returned, and still
hasn’t, even after returning it
to the customer.
So, if you run into a
possible computer problem,
don’t forget to check the
terminals. A loose terminal
can be enough to cause
all kinds of electrical and
performance problems. Figure 3

TALES FROM THE BENCH

by Jarad Warren
members.atra.com

O
ver the last two years, we’ve
seen a big change when it comes
to rebuilding the Jatco CVT. It
used to be hard to find the parts needed
for rebuilding this transmission; that’s
no longer the case.
One other issue we’ve seen is that
the dealer reman transmissions have
been failing and many of the warranty
claims get denied by Nissan.
If you go with a dealer reman,
make sure you have the unit programmed
(recommend by Nissan) and use the OE
fluid. Keep all records of this for your
warranty, as it may be necessary for
warranty claims. If you don’t have those
records, there’s a good chance Nissan
will deny any warranty claims.
Some of the common issues with
this transmission are pressure and
performance codes, and surging and
flaring as the transmission goes from
low to high range.
You can rebuild this transmission
and make good money doing it. There
are some basic areas to cover to make a
quality repair along with performing
the computer relearn. We’ll break down
some of the more important points, to
make this transmission repair a simple
service for your shop. Figure 1

the job correctly.
The Consult III Nissan scan
tool has around seven different
resets for their CVTs (figure 5).
Some models have more and some
less. The sad part is that many
aftermarket scan tools have very
few or no resets at all. Just because
your scan tool doesn’t have the
resets doesn’t mean you can skip
the relearn step.
For the best possible service,
you need to make sure you have
the latest updated programming
installed in the computer. But
reprogramming the computer
doesn’t mean the resets are done.
Some of the resets must be
done with the scan tool, such as
the G-sensor calibration, CVT
fluid deterioration, throttle body
calibration, engine brake adjusts,
and steering alignment (some
makes and models vary). Always
check the factory service informa-
tion to make sure you’re resetting
the system properly.
On some models, you can run
the Initialize TCM and Load
Calibration Data with a scan tool
or by performing a manual reset,
as explained in the factory service
information. This allows the ECM
and TCM to reset and learn to talk
to each other and start with new
calibration data. Then the trans-
mission can start learning.
But wait! Here’s one of the
most important relearn procedures
to save for the end. Clutch Point

relearn how to shift from low

fter a certain number of years in the industry, you might
think you’d have heard everything. That’s usually when you
get the call that lets you know, you haven’t. From ignition
coils failing causing no-communication codes, to Chrysler governor
systems that won’t function properly due to oxygen sensors being
shorted out, they just keep on coming. Here’s one you’ve probably
never heard of:
Tanner Bennet from All Transmission World called the HotLine
the other day about a 2010 Kia Sportage. It came into their shop with
range sensor code, P0708, and the selector displayed reverse in all
ranges.
The customer had already taken it to another shop. They went over
the vehicle and replaced the range sensor with an aftermarket part. No
change.
Tanner’s crew installed an OE range sensor; still no good. So they
proceeded to diagnose the problem from scratch. Here’s a list of the
possible causes according to the factory diagnostic procedure:
• range switch
• ML cable adjustment Figure 2

FULL ROUND STEEL BACKED BUSHINGS
Dura-Bond bimetal bushings are constructed of seamless steel tube with a thin
layer of SAE 13 babbitt material. Seamless construction makes installation easy,
eliminating breakage and bearing surface interruptions.
SAE 13 babbitt provides ideal properties for nearly all transmission applications.
Babbitt's superior embedabilty, conformability, and anti-seizure chartacteristics have
proven to reduce transmission failures which harder bushing materials can cause.
The seamless, 100% machined surface design provides the tightest tolerances in the
industry. The centerless ground OD, centerless bore ID results in wall variations of

TRANSTAR SHAPES
THE FUTURE WITH
DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER
SERVICE AND INNOVATION
For shops that partner with Transtar, their unequalled service experience begins when
their customer’s vehicle rolls onto the lot, prior to the transmission even being opened,
and extends to after it’s installed. At every turn, Transtar presents the solutions that
shops need – not only to support everyday business, but also to secure a competitive
edge in a changing industry.

“Offering consistently outstanding parts ordering and delivery service is the


cornerstone of our obsession with great customer service,” explains Chief Executive
Officer Neil Sethi. Working alongside his leadership team, the industry veterans at
Transtar continue to work hard to solve transmission shops’ problems in unique
ways. From launching cutting-edge software such as transend™ to updating the
remanufacturing process of their torque converters, and from providing exclusive
access to new technologies such as the RAP®2 Kit to offering CVT-related solutions,
they are making repairs and rebuilds easier from start to finish.

Transtar understands that the days of being able to stock parts for a job are long
gone. As units have become more complicated, the ability to find the right parts
Neil Sethi and have them delivered quickly has become the key to maintaining business. It is
Chief Executive Officer this understanding that has inspired considerable investments in the solutions that
are changing the transmission industry for the better, continuing Transtar’s decades
long history of being an innovator in the transmission aftermarket space.

“The industry’s best parts ordering experience begins with transend,”


says Sethi of Transtar’s new software, the online parts lookup and ordering website
launched in November 2018. On transend.us, customers can search for a vehicle’s
parts using its license plate number, VIN or by year-make-model-engine, and receive
a list of suggested items tailored to the car in their bay. This includes rebuild kits,
tools, fluids and more. Browse thousands of the highest-quality parts and filter by
brand, price and availability. transend customers can customize shipping options
and receive the parts on their next scheduled delivery.

“The feedback we’ve received since launching transend™ has been incredible.
The website is easy to use and provides purchasing transparency – that’s
something this industry has never had before,” explains Sales and Marketing
Vice President Tom DeMille. “By giving our customers immediate access to parts
information online – all by simply entering the license plate of the car – we’ve
enabled our sales team to develop more meaningful relationships with their
customers. The time that was spent matching part numbers to transmissions is
now dedicated to working directly with shop owners to understand their needs
with the goal of making them more profitable.”

In acknowledgement of the software’s success, Technology Vice President Bryan


Tom DeMille Chaikin adds, “We spent several years reconstructing the industry’s data, and
Vice President, made it all available in our intuitive proprietary database. This enables our
Sales and Marketing sales team and customers to find exactly what they’re looking for with just a
few clicks. Simply put, parts ordering is becoming more complex every day, and
we are developing the solutions to make it easier.” Shops can register for a free
account by signing up at www.transend.us.

Transtar’s dedication to creating an outstanding purchasing
experience, which begins with transend, and offering
the widest variety of high-quality parts, as seen with
RECON Certified torque converters, is only the beginning
of making good on their promise to proactively solve
industry headaches. It can also be seen in their data-driven
approach to continuously variable transmissions.
According to OEM production data, vehicles using
continuously variable transmissions will increase by
more than 30% over the next five years. Transtar is
taking steps today through their exclusive relationships
with OE suppliers to guarantee the broadest selection
of both complete units, parts, and tools for CVTs.

Kevin Rozsa, Vice President of Supply Chain, comments,

installed, operate the engine until
the vibration occurs. The software

lot of TCC-related complaints.
The engineers at GM and now
the dealer technicians are using
the Pico Scope to identify TCC-
related issues. To locate the issue,
operate the vehicle like this:
• Fluid temperature 120º-160ºF
(50º-70ºC)
• 8th gear
• V8 mode
• ISS 1050-1300 RPM
• OSS 40-55 mph (64-89 km/h)
• Steady throttle,
torque values 200-375 Nm
• TCC On

values of about 22-26 Hz, with
amplitudes of typically 16-24 Mg.

DEXRON HP (#19355656 U.S.,
#19355657 Canada).

BALANCING
The Pico Scope program is Figure 6
capable of balancing components,
such as a propshaft. To balance the
component, you’ll need to purchase
an optical sensor attachment for
your laptop (figure 7).
As you can see, the tools
of today are making our jobs a
little easier, even as the vehicles
continue to get more and more
complex. Without the correct tools
and training, repairing today’s
vehicles is truly a challenge.
Until we see each other at the

T
he DPS6 transmission in Ford
Fiesta and Focus models has
been around long enough
for us to accept that they aren’t going
away. In fact, this type of transmission
is preferred for high-end, high-perfor-
mance vehicles.
For argument’s sake, consider
this an entry-level unit. It’s a direct-
shift gearbox (DSG) consisting of a
dual, dry-disc clutch assembly, fully
controlled by an external transmission
control module (TCM). Bill Brayton
wrote an article on the inner operation
of this unit in the June 2014 edition of
GEARS.
For reference purposes, Ford also
refers to this unit as the powershift
transmission. Borg Warner, the
manufacturer, designates it as the
6DCT-250.
These transmissions are becoming
more abundant in the U.S. and other
markets. Since they operate differently
than any conventional automatic
transmission, they have a unique feel
and function. That being said, let’s take
a real-world look at the DPS6. Figure 1: The Clutch Actuator motors are very accessible and identical. Note the positions

COMPANY PROFILE
For over 50 years, Power Pusher Company, a division of Nu-Star Inc., has specialized in
pedestrian-operated, battery-powered, motorized tugs that are designed to meet safety and
productivity initiatives while driving down maintenance and labor costs. Power Pusher’s tugs
meet the diverse and challenging needs of our customers, pushing or pulling wheeled or
semi-wheeled loads, mobilizing everything from cars, trolleys, rail cars and roll cages to
airplanes and modular buildings.

PRODUCTS
The Automotive Power Pusher® is a battery
powered, heavy duty, multi-use device
designed to move immobilized vehicles up to
18,000 lbs. up a 5% grade with only two
people, instead of five or six that are
normally required to move them.The Power
Pusher’s low maintenance and durability
are just two of its many features. The Power
Pusher moves equipment more efficiently and helps to
reduce the risk of injury. It is the most practical tool a service
department or fleet can employ. The Power Pusher is not just
an extra piece of equipment, it’s a working member of your team. Our
customers tell us it’s an absolute necessity and the Power Pusher is easily
maintained.
