RE5R05A 2012 Nissan NV1500 4.0L RWD – Remanufactured 5-Speed Automatic Trans
Description
Heat-treated A380 aluminum casing architecture absorbs severe structural driveline torque shock while carbon-metallic friction plates handle 281 lb-ft during grueling vocational work truck operation in the Nissan RE5R05A Remanufactured Transmission tailored for 2012 NV1500 commercial cargo vans utilizing the 4.0-liter V6 engine platform.
The structural die-cast aluminum casing withstands continuous high-load chassis flex across uneven delivery dock surfaces. Precision-machined valve bodies receive hard-anodized sleeves to stop hydraulic fluid bypass and maintain continuous clutch clamp loads. Carbon-metallic friction materials prevent glazing during frequent stop-and-start urban parcel routes. The unit holds 11.2 quarts of Matic-J fluid in a stamped steel oil pan. Bare dry weight measures 214 lbs, utilizing 3/8-inch cooler port connections.
Key Features of Nissan RE5R05A
Delivery fleet operators buy Nissan RE5R05A automatic transmission modules to resolve chronic valve body wear in high-mileage parcel vans. Comprehensive remanufacturing brings all internal clearances back to factory specifications for dependable commercial operation.
- Upgraded pump pressure regulator valves maintain continuous 280 PSI line force.
- Balanced torque converters eliminate high-idle vibration during prolonged curbside parking.
- Precision-ground valve body channels prevent hydraulic leaks during summer delivery routes.
- Hardened steel planetary carrier gears provide quiet, durable torque transfer under load.
- Pulse-width modulated solenoids respond within 45 milliseconds to vehicle computer commands.
- Heavy-duty clutch return springs ensure clean gear release without friction plate drag.
- Sintered bronze reaction discs resist thermal warping under continuous city transit.
- Dyno-tested RE5R05A valve bodies maintain line pressure without internal fluid bypass.
Torque Handling Hydraulic Line Calibration
Operating line pressures regulate between 215 and 280 PSI to secure clutch engagement across heavy delivery van payloads. Gear ratios provide 3.84:1 in first, 2.35:1 in second, 1.53:1 in third, 1.00:1 in fourth, and 0.84:1 in fifth overdrive. Engineered for 285 lb-ft continuous input torque under severe parcel fleet conditions. Transmission oil cooler circuits reject 410 BTU per minute to hold sump temperatures between 160°F and 185°F.
Driveshaft Slip Yoke Bushing Alignment
A precision-machined 28-spline output shaft interfaces with the commercial van driveshaft slip yoke. Shaft runout measures under 0.0018 inches to protect the rear extension housing seal from premature leakage. The internal parking pawl gear provides 1,850 lb-ft holding force on steep urban loading docks. Tailhousing mount holes match factory van transmission crossmembers.
Electronic Shift Tuning Service Rules
Perform an electronic TCM calibration reset using an OBDII diagnostic tool before driving the vehicle under commercial loads. Check fluid level with the transmission warm and the engine idling in park. This unit is not engineered for closed-course drag strip racing, extreme rock crawling, or gross combined vehicle weights exceeding factory chassis tow limits.
- Inspect cooler pipe connections for fluid weeping each shift.
- Drain pan fluid, clean magnetic capture pads, and refill every 30,000 miles.
- Perform full electronic solenoid circuit resistance and cycle checks every 12 months.
Fleet Crate Package Warranty Coverage
Backed by a 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty covering parts and labor nationwide. The wooden shipping crate holds one fully remanufactured transmission, dynamic balanced torque converter, cooler line sealing rings, vehicle installation sheet, and dynamometer inspection chart.
