I hope the Nissan dosen't do this, but at least our trannies are better than Ford's.
My experience with the ford "sealed transmission" is pretty bad. We have 03-07 ford exploders at work (military) and all I can say is that their tranmissions are garbage. WIth just daily use, we've replaced 2 transmissions of 3 explorers in less then 40k. When I was deployed to Qatar, in six months we went through 4 transmissions in 3 explorers. For some reason the transmission fluid evaporates or something which leads to poor shifting...losing gears..... and eventually failing.
