RE5R05A 2011-2012 Nissan Armada, TITAN 5.6L RWD – Remanufactured 5-Speed Automatic Trans
Description
Across grueling 14-hour urban logistics shifts demanding 200 stop-and-go curb drops, internal friction plates hold 280 PSI clamp pressure without slip inside the Nissan RE5R05A Remanufactured Transmission engineered for 2011 to 2012 Armada and Titan rear wheel drive utility trucks carrying the 5.6-liter V8 engine.
Die-cast A380 aluminum casing shells shield internal gearsets from high road shocks and chassis torsional stress. Upgraded Sonnax valve sleeves restore hydraulic integrity to eliminate intermittent shift flaring. Heat-treated carbon friction plates and steel reaction plates provide reliable mechanical grip under continuous towing stress. The bare transmission package weighs 216 lbs without torque converter. Sump capacity measures 11.2 quarts of Matic-J fluid circulating through 3/8-inch threaded inverted flare ports.
Key Features of Nissan RE5R05A
Commercial transport fleets choose to buy Nissan RE5R05A automatic transmission modules to eliminate intermittent gear slip across heavy freight hauling schedules. Strict factory rebuild protocols ensure every internal component matches or surpasses original equipment tolerances.
- Hard-anodized valve bore sleeves prevent pressure loss under high operating temperatures.
- Precision-machined five-pinion planetary gearsets distribute gear contact loads in balance.
- High-strength direct drums resist distortion during aggressive wide-open-throttle passing shifts.
- Furnace-brazed torque converter impellers prevent internal blade flexing under load.
- Computer-calibrated solenoids provide instantaneous fluid redirection for crisp shifts.
- Upgraded pump flow regulator valves deliver constant 280 PSI line pressure to friction packs.
- High-energy carbon friction discs reduce thermal wear during repetitive stop-and-go driving.
- Dyno-tested RE5R05A valve bodies maintain line pressure without internal fluid bypass.
Mechanical Ratio Hydraulic Pressure Performance
Regulated internal fluid circuits produce 220 to 285 PSI to clamp friction elements under maximum cargo bed loads. Gear reduction ratios span 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. Rated for 390 lb-ft continuous input torque under severe commercial truck duty cycles. External cooler fluid flow rejects 420 BTU per minute to hold sump temperatures between 160°F and 185°F.
Driveshaft Slip Yoke Spline Specifications
A case-hardened 28-spline output shaft engages the rear driveshaft slip yoke with total dial indicator runout under 0.002 inches. The internal ductile iron parking pawl resists 1,850 lb-ft holding load on steep cargo loading docks. Tailhousing extension castings integrate high-durometer rear seals to prevent fluid weeping down the driveshaft tube.
Transmission Adaptation Diagnostic Service Rules
Technicians must perform a computer-guided TCM adaptive relearn process before releasing the truck for operational fleet service. Check fluid temperature and level using factory dipstick procedures. 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 connection joints for hydraulic seepage each shift.
- Perform fluid pan evacuation and wipe down internal capture magnets every 30,000 miles.
- Execute electronic scan tool diagnosis to confirm solenoid shift duty cycles every 12 months.
Fleet Warranty Policy Crate Contents
Backed by a 3-Year / 100,000-Mile commercial fleet warranty covering internal components and approved shop labor. The sealed wooden crate holds one fully remanufactured transmission, dynamic balanced torque converter, cooler line sealing rings, detailed vehicle setup guide, and dyno test chart.
