AW55-50SN 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5L FWD – Remanufactured 5-Speed Automatic Trans
Description
Across an eight-hour route duration, high-frequency highway commuter runs demand instant solenoid response to maintain prompt gear changes without flare. The Nissan Maxima AW55-50SN Remanufactured Automatic Transmission provides five-speed automatic ratio transitions for 2004 Maxima 3.5L front-drive sedans. Technicians remanufacture valve bodies to eliminate shift flare during intense regional corporate transit operations.
Precision high-pressure die-cast aluminum casings eliminate main housing flex under high-output V6 torque spikes. Remanufactured valve bodies receive precision-machined Sonnax linear solenoid bore sleeves to eliminate internal line pressure drop. High-energy carbon-metallic friction clutches combine with micro-finished steel separator plates. External utility parameters include quick-connect cooler lines, 8.0 quarts fluid capacity, and an overall dry mass of 190 lbs.
Key Features of Nissan Maxima AW5550SN
Fleet operators buy Nissan Maxima AW55-50SN remanufactured automatic transmission packages to eliminate shift slip across high-mileage executive cars. Tough internal mechanical parts withstand continuous stop-and-go gear cycling without hydraulic pressure drop.
- Updated linear solenoid assemblies eliminate delayed forward engagement from park into drive
- Hard-coat anodized valve body bore sleeves halt cross-circuit leakage in shift valve paths
- Thermal-resistant carbon friction materials eliminate clutch disc slipping under V6 acceleration
- Ground-tooth Nissan Maxima AW5550SN planet gear assemblies reduce geartrain noise under cruise
- Balanced lockup torque converter units prevent torsional crankshaft harmonics at high speed
- Positive-displacement oil pumps maintain continuous 270 PSI line pressure across all RPM bands
- Deep sump fluid pan magnets catch circulating ferrous particles before reaching solenoids
Input Torque Kinetic Parameters
Operating line pressures span from 205 to 270 PSI across all operational gear selections under maximum load. Transmission sump temperatures hold inside an optimal 165°F to 185°F range during continuous highway use. Input torque limits support 255 lb-ft at 4,400 RPM under severe commercial fleet applications. Hydraulic fluid loops reject up to 430 BTU per minute through vehicle cooling systems. Forward gear ratios measure 4.77:1 first, 3.00:1 second, 1.96:1 third, 1.32:1 fourth, and 1.02:1 fifth.
Differential Axle Spline Interface
The unit features dual 29-spline differential side gears machined for flush mating with original equipment front halfshafts. High-strength internal differential pinions withstand 1,200 lb-ft static torque without tooth damage. Axle shaft seal face runout measures within 0.0013 inches on precision dial indicators.
Pre-Deployment Transmission Operating Rules
Technicians must perform an electronic TCM shift adapt relearn sequence using diagnostic scan software before regular route deployment. This transmission is not engineered for aftermarket nitrous oxide injection, competition drag racing, or commercial towing operations.
- Examine external oil cooler line fittings and harness connections every 50 hours
- Drain transmission fluid and inspect pan magnet accumulations every 30,000 miles
- Perform complete hydraulic fluid changes with approved automatic transmission fluid every 12 months
Standard Crate Fleet Manifest
Purchases include a full 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty agreement covering commercial fleet usage. Inside the wooden shipping container rests a remanufactured automatic transmission unit, balanced torque converter, new cooler line clip seals, and a printed dyno test validation report.
