Nissan transmission work splits cleanly between the conventional automatic and the CVT, and your bench stock should reflect that split. Here's what I keep on hand for each unit. — Master overhaul kit (frictions, steels, seals): Alto or Transtar. Every full rebuild starts here. Keep one kit on the shelf — at $250–$350 it's your highest-cost bench stock item for this unit, but it determines whether you can turn a job in two days or two weeks. — PCS-A pressure control solenoid: The most common electronic failure. Keep one. About $65–$85 from a Jatco parts supplier. — TCC solenoid: Second most common electronic failure on this unit. Keep one alongside the PCS-A. — Manual valve detent spring: $8 part, comes up on every high-mileage valve body job. Keep five — they're cheap enough that there's no reason not to. — Nissan Matic-J fluid, 12 quarts: Full fill after rebuild is 10.5 quarts. Don't run short on final fill.
