If you are looking to complete a band adjustment, torque specs, service a transmission, shift kits, or just doing a full rebuild on a unit, ATSG technical manuals are a must-have. The manuals cover many areas of transmission rebuild, including:

  • parts identification
  • exploded views 
  • wiring harness locations
  • hydraulic routing
  • electrical diagrams
  • internal planetary components
  • how to disassemble a transmission
  • how to rebuild the individual components
  • torque specs
  • valve body identification
  • extension housing overviews
  • how to assemble a transmission, and much, much more 

Our customers are routinely impressed with ATSG manuals and often recommend them to friends.  Here are a few recently received customer reviews:

“Really good book on transmission specifications and assembly”

“Nice manual, quality product”

“Just as promised.  Great book!”

“Everything I needed and then some.  Very accurate”

What is the difference between the blue cover book and the green cover book?

The blue cover book is the standard transmission rebuild manual.  This book will be your go-to guide for understanding and performing the process of transmission rebuilding.  If you are planning to rebuild your transmission and do not already have this manual, this is the one you will want and need. 

The green cover book the update manual.  This manual is intended for diagnostic work and/or troubleshooting codes.  While a few transmission updates are included in this manual, it relies primarily upon, and often refers back to, the original blue cover manual for rebuilding instructions.  Many DIY-er’s will not need this manual as it is most frequently used by professional shops.

What about these CD-ROM discs?

Some of the ATSG manuals are no longer available in paperback form.  Some obsolete books and/or less popular books have moved from book format to a mini-disc CD-ROM.  These discs are easy to use and will fit in the small, inner disc circle of any computer disc drive. 

Our ATSG service manuals now qualify for free U.S. shipping! 

As always, should you have any questions about ATSG transmission products or need assistance in identifying your transmission, please feel free to contact Oregon Performance Transmission at salesdesk@optsales.com

 

The RE5R05A transmission and common cooling problems

It may still be snowing in many parts of the US, but warmer weather is right around the corner.  We know that the sunshine brings many of us out of our shop hibernations with the anticipation of more time on and off the road and track.

One transmission that we repeatedly see many questions about is the RE5R05A from Nissan.  This is the tranny you will find in vehicles like the Frontier, Xterra and Pathfinder.  It is also found within the Titan, Armada and Navara, to name a few.   While an extremely popular transmission, it also comes with a popular problem:  the radiator often leaks water into the transmission fluid which eventually burns up the transmission.  Most people discover this problem after the transmission has blown.  Others, while they may still have an operational transmission, are surprised and dismayed to discover the leak.  If there is water in the fluid, it’s too late to save the tranny.

The solution to a burned transmission of course is to rebuild it.  Oregon Performance Transmission stocks a complete, solid kit for the RE5R05A (part number OPT-RE5R05A-RB) as well as many other products and upgrades. 

One preventative solution to this leakage problem is to bypass the radiator with an external cooler, thereby eliminating the need for the radiator all together.  You can effectively get rid of the problem before it even has a chance to occur.  Depending on your vehicle’s space, we suggest installing the largest external cooler possible.  The brand we trust the most is Tru-Cool by Dana Corporation.  They are manufactured in Canada and are solid, strong and extremely well-built.

Remember, the Tru-Cool coolers are not vehicle-specific, they are space-specific.  If you can fit a 40,000 GVW cooler in your truck, we highly recommend doing so.  

For additional information about any of the products mentioned here, or to answer any other questions, please feel free to contact us at salesdesk@optsales.com.  It’s not too late to save that transmission!
