Tranny Is Slipping!!!! Anyone Else?

Have a g coupe and the tranny is slipping alot!! Anyone else have this prob? My warranty expires in 2 months so I can take it to the dealership,thank god!!!
My question in should I take off the plenum and the intake before I take it in?. I know the least I sholu do is take off the plenum, but how about the CAI? SUGGESTIONS/COMMENTS?

Did you have the transmission serviced at the scheduled maintenance times?

I have an AT, and I had the trans flushed at 30,000 miles....

Unless they can come up with a legitimate reason/s why the CAI or Plenum would have caused the trans to malfunction, I would say your probably safe.
But, depending on your dealer....use your own judgement on that.....

Considering the 5AT in the G35 was designed for the V8 in the Q45, I think Infiniti would be hard pressed to prove that a VQ with a plenum and CAI would bust the tranny.

If your IAT was messed up, then maybe... But a CAI messing up a tranny? If the dealer can prove your CAI added so much power that it busted a tranny that was designed for the 4.5 litre V8 engine, then maybe I'll buy your CAI off of you

Even on 5AT?

Since you take off the plenum might as well just put everything back to stock to save the arguing trouble (as one said above), not that much of work. You know dealer, they always find a way to take your $$$ out of your pocket.
