My mother-in-law is interested in getting a 200SX, but she
was told by some mechanics that the 200SX and Sentra (as
well as other Nissans) have trouble with their automatic
transmissions. They said you could expect to replace the
transmission after five or six years.
Is there any truth to this? I’d be interested in hearing
from some Nissan owners!
Thanks very much!

How about actual Nissan techs? In a word..b.s.! No truth to this at
all. Now if you would be considering a 300z with an automatic, that’s
another story. But as far as the Maxima, 200, Sentra, etc. don’t worry.
LED’s don’t ‘blow’.

co…@mindspring.com spoke thusly:

Sure they do, if sizeably more than the rated current flows through them for
any length of time. Yes, you can run a standard T1-3/4 LED @ 10A, just not for
much of a duty cycle. Try putting 150mA through one for >10s. Voila! SED =
smoke emitting diode. Been there, done that.
I think your point is that a bad connection, perhaps a bum solder connection
on the series resistor, is a more likely culprit.
In any event, it sounds ugly to fix. I forgot how fun servicing mobile audio
could be
