RE7R01A TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION

The most important Nissan transmission designation for this application is:

RE7R01A

This transmission belongs to Nissan/JATCO’s longitudinal 7-speed automatic family.

You may also see references to the:

JR710E

family.

However, do not assume every RE7R01A or JR710E-family transmission is identical.

Different applications can use different:

• Nissan part numbers
• Gear ratios
• Valve bodies
• Torque converters
• TCM calibrations
• Sensors
• Wiring
• Output configurations
• Mounting points

For that reason, the complete physical transmission should be compared with the customer’s original unit before installation.

SERIAL NUMBER K3714

This individual J-Spec inventory unit is identified by:

Serial Number: K3714

Keep this serial connected with:

• Product listing
• Product photographs
• Warehouse inventory
• Invoice
• Shipping paperwork
• Warranty documentation

Individual serial tracking also helps distinguish this transmission from other similar J-Spec RE7R01A inventory.

VQ37VHR 3.7L V6 APPLICATION

This transmission is associated with compatible vehicles using Nissan’s:

VQ37VHR 3.7L DOHC V6

Recommended structured product fields are:

Engine Code: VQ37VHR

Engine Size: 3.7L

Engine Configuration: V6

Nevertheless, engine code alone does not establish transmission interchange.

Two vehicles may both use the VQ37VHR and a 7-speed automatic while still using different transmission versions.

Therefore, confirm the transmission part number and configuration before ordering.

NISSAN 370Z APPLICATION

The Nissan 370Z began with the 2009 model year.

Accordingly, do not list:

2008 Nissan 370Z

as an application.

The core SEO target should begin with:

2009 Nissan 370Z

For later 370Z model years, confirm interchange by the original transmission identification and Nissan part number.

INFINITI G37 APPLICATION

Compatible RWD Infiniti G37 VQ37VHR applications also use Nissan’s 7-speed automatic transmission family.

However, production-year and model differences can affect interchange.

Therefore, verify:

• RWD drivetrain
• VQ37VHR engine
• Original transmission identification
• Nissan / Infiniti transmission part number
• Production date
• Electrical configuration

before purchasing.

INFINITI M37 APPLICATION

The Infiniti M37 is a related VQ37VHR 7-speed automatic application.

However, M37 transmission assemblies have application-specific Nissan part numbers.

For example, Nissan/Infiniti parts data separates RWD and AWD VQ37VHR 7-speed transmissions.

Consequently, do not advertise this individual Item 254541 as a guaranteed M37 replacement unless its exact part number and configuration match the customer’s transmission.

Use:

Possible M37 RWD application – verify transmission part number before ordering.

INFINITI Q50 APPLICATION

The Q50 should not be included inside a blanket:

2009–2013

fitment statement.

The Infiniti Q50 launched as a 2014 model.

The 2014 Q50 3.7L was available with a 7-speed automatic transmission and RWD. Nevertheless, its detailed transmission configuration must be matched before interchange is promised.

Therefore, use:

2014+ Q50 3.7L RWD – possible related application; exact transmission verification required.

INFINITI Q60 APPLICATION

The Infiniti Q60 name also begins with the 2014 model year for this generation.

A 2014 Q60 Coupe equipped with the VQ37VHR could use a 7-speed automatic in RWD configuration.

However, do not simply add Q60 to a 2009–2013 title.

Instead, list it separately as a related later application that requires verification.

INFINITI Q40 APPLICATION

The Infiniti Q40 is a 2015 model-year application, not a 2009–2013 application.

It uses the VQ37VHR 3.7L V6 and was available in RWD with a 7-speed automatic.

Even so, it should only be listed as a possible related application after confirming that Item 254541 matches the customer’s original transmission.

WHY MODEL NAME ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH

Nissan and Infiniti used multiple versions of their longitudinal 7-speed automatic transmission.

As a result, two vehicles may both have:

VQ37VHR + RWD + 7-Speed Automatic

while still using different transmission calibrations or components.

For example, published transmission ratios differ between certain Q50 and G37/Q40/Q60 applications.

Therefore, broad claims such as:

Fits all VQ37VHR vehicles

should be avoided.

RWD ONLY

Item 254541 is intended for:

Rear-Wheel Drive / RWD

applications.

It should not be marketed as an AWD transmission.

RWD and AWD transmission assemblies can differ in their rear/output configuration and related drivetrain components.

For that reason, verify the customer’s drivetrain before ordering.

7-SPEED AUTOMATIC

This is a conventional:

7-Speed Electronically Controlled Automatic Transmission

It is not a CVT.

Correct structured fields:

Type: 7-Speed Automatic

Gears: 7

Drivetrain: RWD

GENUINE NISSAN MATIC S ATF

For the verified Nissan 370Z RE7R01A application, Nissan specifies:

Genuine Nissan Matic S ATF

Do not substitute:

• CVT fluid
• Manual transmission fluid
• Differential gear oil
• Generic universal ATF without verified Matic S compatibility

Using the correct automatic transmission fluid is essential for hydraulic control, lubrication, shift operation, and transmission durability.

Always verify the target vehicle’s service information before filling.

TRANSMISSION COOLER AND LINE SERVICE

Before operating the replacement transmission, properly service the transmission cooler and cooler lines.

A failed transmission may leave:

• Metal particles
• Friction debris
• Contaminated ATF
• Degraded fluid

inside the cooling circuit.

Therefore:

• Flush the cooler lines.
• Inspect the transmission cooler.
• Confirm unrestricted flow.
• Remove contaminated fluid.
• Replace any cooler that cannot be properly cleaned.

Connecting a replacement transmission to a contaminated cooling circuit may introduce debris directly into the replacement unit.

INSPECT THE TRANSMISSION PAN

Before installation, inspect the transmission pan where appropriate.

Look for:

• Excessive metal
• Friction material
• Sludge
• Contaminated fluid
• Magnet buildup

Additionally, inspect the filter or strainer according to Nissan service procedures.

Starting with a clean fluid circuit gives the replacement transmission a better foundation for service.

TORQUE CONVERTER VERIFICATION

Do not automatically promise that the torque converter is included unless Item 254541 physically includes it as part of the sale.

If a converter is supplied, inspect:

• Hub
• Splines
• Pilot
• Seal surface
• Mounting pads
• Overall condition

Most importantly, fully seat the torque converter into the transmission before mating the transmission to the engine.

Never use bellhousing bolts to pull the transmission into position.

Otherwise, the transmission pump may be damaged.

INSPECT ACCESSIBLE SEALS

While the transmission is outside the vehicle, inspect:

• Front / torque-converter seal
• Output seal
• Selector-shaft seal
• Cooler-line seals
• Pan sealing area

If an accessible seal shows signs of wear or leakage, replacing it before installation can prevent unnecessary labor later.

COMPARE THE JDM AND ORIGINAL TRANSMISSIONS

Before installation, place the original and replacement transmissions side by side.

Compare:

• RE7R01A identification
• Nissan part number
• Case markings
• Bellhousing
• Torque converter
• Valve body
• Electrical connectors
• Sensors
• Output shaft
• Transmission mount
• Cooler fittings
• Harness routing

This comparison is especially important when installing a JDM transmission into a U.S.-market vehicle.

VALVE BODY AND TCM COMPATIBILITY

Nissan’s 7-speed automatic transmission uses electronically controlled hydraulic components.

Depending on the application, differences may exist in:

• Valve body
• TCM calibration
• Sensors
• Solenoids
• Wiring
• Transmission control data

Therefore, some installations may require original electronic components to transfer or applicable Nissan/Infiniti programming procedures to be completed.

Do not assume every JDM transmission is electronically identical to every U.S.-market RE7R01A.

PROGRAMMING AND RELEARN

The live listing correctly warns that programming may be required.

After installation, perform all Nissan/Infiniti procedures applicable to the vehicle and transmission repair.

Depending on the application, this may include:

• TCM diagnosis
• Clearing stored transmission data
• Initialization
• Learning procedures
• Calibration
• Valve-body-related programming
• Road-test adaptation

Use a Nissan-capable diagnostic scan tool.

SCAN THE VEHICLE BEFORE REMOVAL

Before removing the original transmission:

• Scan the ECM.
• Scan the TCM.
• Record diagnostic trouble codes.
• Save freeze-frame information when available.
• Check transmission data.
• Document communication faults.

This information may help distinguish an internal transmission problem from an electronic, wiring, or engine-related issue.

KEEP THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION

Do not discard the original transmission until the JDM replacement has been installed and tested successfully.

The original unit may still be needed for:

• Valve body
• TCM-related components
• Sensors
• Wiring
• Brackets
• Mounts
• Cooler fittings
• Hardware

Keeping the original transmission nearby can make compatibility issues easier to resolve.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Before installation:

• Confirm Nissan / Infiniti application.
• Confirm VQ37VHR 3.7L engine.
• Confirm RWD drivetrain.
• Confirm 7-speed automatic.
• Verify RE7R01A identification.
• Verify Nissan transmission part number.
• Confirm production date.
• Compare original and replacement transmissions.
• Compare gear/transmission configuration.
• Compare bellhousing.

• Check for leaks.
• Verify ATF level according to Nissan procedure.
• Scan the TCM for faults.

Avoid aggressive acceleration during the initial test.

MULTIPLE HEAT CYCLES

After the initial startup, run the transmission through several controlled heat cycles.

Because the torque converter and cooler circuit continue to fill, the ATF level may change.

During each cycle:

• Monitor transmission temperature.
• Recheck fluid level.
• Inspect cooler fittings.
• Check external seals.
• Verify engagement.
• Look for leaks.

Once the fluid level remains stable, proceed with a conservative road test.

INITIAL ROAD TEST

Begin the road test gradually.

Monitor:

• Reverse engagement
• Drive engagement
• 1–2 shift
• 2–3 shift
• 3–4 shift
• 4–5 shift
• 5–6 shift
• 6–7 shift
• Downshifts
• Manual mode where equipped
• Torque-converter lockup
• Shift flare
• Slipping
• Harsh engagement
• Delayed engagement
• Transmission vibration
• Abnormal noise
• Warning lights
• ATF temperature
• Fluid leaks

Afterward, scan the vehicle again for stored or pending transmission codes.

COMMON RE7R01A FAILURE SYMPTOMS

Possible symptoms include:

• Harsh shifting
• Delayed engagement
• Slipping
• RPM flare
• Gear-ratio faults
• Limp mode
• Transmission warning lights
• Abnormal noise
• Overheating
• No movement
• Transmission-related diagnostic codes

However, similar symptoms can also result from:

• Incorrect ATF level
• Incorrect ATF
• Valve-body problems
• Solenoid faults
• TCM problems
• Wiring issues
• Speed sensors
• Torque-converter problems
• Restricted cooler flow
• Engine-related faults

Therefore, diagnose the vehicle completely before replacing the transmission.

WHY THE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION IDENTIFICATION MATTERS

The RE7R01A family appeared in several Nissan and Infiniti vehicles.

Differences may involve:

• Gear ratios
• Nissan part number
• Valve body
• Electronics
• Torque converter
• Output shaft
• Mounts
• Calibration

For that reason, verify the physical unit before purchasing.
