The 2002 Nissan Altima uses ATF-TYPE III for its transmission fluid. The transmission is a crucial component of the car, and issues are bound to crop up eventually. Problems like harsh shifting, jerking, gear stickiness, shudders, and delayed shifts are signs to watch out for. It's important to address any transmission fluid leaks promptly to avoid potential slipping. Regular fluid changes every 30,000 to 60,000 miles are recommended to prevent transmission woes, including strange noises from the transmission. If the torque converter wears out, it can create additional complications.
