Nissan Leaf transmission

Cera:

The Nissan Leaf gearbox uses a single gear reduction and differential for transmitting power from the motor to the drive shafts. The gearbox also houses an electronic parking break mechanism which locks the input shaft from spinning via a solenoid operated lever. There is no oil pump and lubrication is provided by a splash lubrication system.

The input splines are the same on both the EM61 and EM57 motors, but the bolt pattern is different. This means that you cannot use an EM61 motor with a EM57 gear box and vice versa. For more details on bolt patterns see [[Nissan leaf motor couplers and adapter plates]].

A helical LSD is also available as an optional product for both Gen1 and Gen2 gearboxes from Nismo japan:

EM57 gearboxes have been found to feature open bearings (probably earlier variants) as well as rubber sealed bearings. There has been reports of open bearings failing prematurely especially with prolonged running in reverse direction which causes the splash lubrication not to function properly. Therefore it in advisable to pay attention to regular oil changes and use good quality oil with the gearbox.

Nissan's specs for oil volumes are 1.35 and 1.4L depending on the variant of the gearbox.

Nissan recommends Genuine Nissan Matic S ATF. However many people have found that replacing Nissan's with a better quality oil allows for more efficiency and reduces the noise of the gearbox. Therefore something like Redline D6 Fully Synthetic ATF is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQda4531plQ better recommendation].
