Planetary Gearset
Creates all the gear ratios used by the transmission. Consists of Sun gear, Planet gears and a Ring gear. -

Signs of Trouble
If your transmission slips out of gear, suddenly changes RPMs, resists or grinds when changing gears, makes odd noises such as whirring or clunking or is accelerating slowly - it's time to come in!
I took my 05 Nissan armada in because I couldn't get the O2 sensor out due to it being stripped. The removed it and was very fair with charges and didn't rake me over the coals. Good to know there are fair shops still around. - Kelly Q (5 star review found on Surecritic)
