QX56/Fx50 transmission swap?

Hey guys,

I was doing some research and it seems that the g37 transmission is a little different than the qx56 (2011+) and Fx50 (2009+)

We use the Jatco Tranmission and nissan has labeled them as RE7R01A and The QX and FX use RE7R01B, Anyone have a clue if they are interchangeable? Would help with all the 7Ats that want to go TT/SC since the QX and FX transmissions are rated for higher HP/TQ

Hey, every case is different. There are some people running twin turbo's and 7at with zero problems. I understand your concern but if it ain't broken don't change it. You shouldn't have to spend unnecessary money on another transmission. So far I've only heard of 3 cases of failed 7at. if you wanna have fun, use manual mode especially when you're in the upper gears.

I'm thinking of only really pushing the car 1-4 gears. I do plan to upgrade the tranny though using gtms upgrades. But I was curious as to the options of a qx/fx tranny could Provide. Also I know of 2 incidents who is the 3rd?

One of those cases from what I believe was just a lack of missing oil in the tranny from the line relocation.

Any idea who is successfully running FI on 7at?

Yeah someone probably forgot to refill the fluids after they fixed the leaks.

That guy blueTT is running twins and 7at. No issues with his car that I know of. He recently sold the car already but still roams the forum from time to time.
