Fluid and filter is find thanks for the information though! that is not the problem car rev's in park, neutral, rpm checks out, when put in drive, acts like it is in limp or safe mode, just will move in forward in drive and reverse like the ECU is not communicating with the TCM could this be a bad transmission control module? or bad transmission valve body?

Yes that can be, check we run the codes to see what's come up here is a guide to help you.

Thanks for the information I will purchase the code reader and check it out and then I will respond back to you...

Thanks Ken! I purchased the code reader hooked it up faulty "TCM" purchased one on E-bay $60.00 bucks replaced it, now it runs like new.You don't know how much I appreciate your help, all the Transmission shops was telling me that the Transmission was bad, their cost to repair estimate's was between $4,500.00- 5,950.00 to fix. cost for the code reader and Transmission control module less than $100.00 back on the road!!!!!

Glad you could get it fixed, that kind of problem can be tough. Please use 2CarPros anytime we are here to help

Ken? Nissan Murano 2006 myth or fact only use Nissan N2 Transmission Fluid?

FACT! Do not not use any other fluid but N2 Transmission Fluid or the transmission will not work.

I just bought a 2006 Nissan Murano SL 3.5 V6 with 64,000 miles on it, the person I bought the car from was having it serviced at Jiffy Lube using conventional oil. I have always used synthetic oil in my vehicles mostly Mobil 1, but I would like to switch to full Synthetic 5W-30 this maybe and engineer question like to know your thoughts on this for I do not want to cause harm to the engine!!

Hi, I am Roy and I can help you with this.

Yes, you can change to full synthetic. It will not harm the engine. Use 5-30 as the manufacturer recommends. Mobil 1 is a good choice.
