'07/'08 tl

So after I was settled on looking for a rwd 07 G35, I decided to go for a TL mainly due to reliability and maintenance - so is that a fact that 07/08 had different transmission or is this pure speculation

Thanks

The 07-08 TL-S models have the RL tranny or so I have read.

07/08 have different tranny...I have an 08 with 60K and haven't had any issues. Just follow the recommended cycle for changing the fluid and you'll be fine.

Nice! I have an 08 CBP base. Just hit 94k the other day. I get the trans fluid changed every 30k at the dealer and it has been trouble free.

The switches still need changing in the 07-08s. They slowly damage the transmission if not changed soon enough. My latest till 85k before mine started acting up.

08 is clutch and the base model doesn't have RL transmission, Type S have RL trans because it has a 3.5 liter block as well

I have an 07 base and before I bought it I researched every bloody thing about the car, and ALL 07/08 models have a RL type tranny.

I guess it was the solution to the terrible tranny of previous years.

Lol.... yea my goal is make sure everyone is misinformed and led down the wrong path -.-

I must be tripping out, cause I am pretty sure the type S trans is a lot bigger in size visually, is the type S one bigger for some reason?

^^^the only difference in AT between 07-08 Type S and 07-08 Base TL is that Type S has ATF cooler mounting on driver side in front of A/C condenser, Base TL doesn't have ATF cooler (unless you bought one and install it). Other than that it using the same AT.

Damn sucks for me, the only reason I didn't want the base TL is because of trans problems and I figured that this one would actually be the best since I thought it is different, a little bit more sporty and upgraded like the motor; which means it can handle real driving without getting fucked up.

But fuck it, I got a superior deal, and always maintain the car myself. No problems what so ever =)
