The Transmission node is where a Nexus learns what drivetrain it is attached to. It takes a minute to set, and it decides which transmission features you can use.

What this node does

Everything transmission related in NSP starts here. You describe the drivetrain, and the node becomes a switchboard for the transmission functions in the navigation tree.

Drivetrain settings

SettingWhat to choose
Drive TypeRear, Front or All Wheel Drive
Transmission TypeYour transmission. Several common automatics are listed by name. Pick one and NSP marks in red the functions it needs you to enable
Number of Forward GearsOnly shown for a generic Transmission Type. Enter the gear count

If your automatic is listed, always pick it by name rather than generic. The named options know which supporting functions the transmission depends on.

The Functions list

The lower section enables or disables each transmission function, such as Transmission Control, Line Pressure Control, Flat Shift or Nissan ATTESA Control. Enabled functions appear in the tree, and clicking a function's name here jumps straight to its node. Anything highlighted in red needs your attention before the setup is complete, so clear every red item before driving the car.

Our tip

Set this node first, then work down the list of enabled functions one at a time. It is much easier than hunting through the tree for what is missing.
