Expert Infiniti Q70 transmission service in Chicago. Free computer diagnostic, lifetime warranty on rebuilds, all years.
2014β2019 (M-series successor): 7-speed automatic (7AT) rear-wheel drive or AWD; 3.7L V6 or 5.6L V8 Q70L: extended wheelbase version β same drivetrain AWD: ATTESA E-TS all-wheel drive with electronically-controlled torque split Production ended 2019
Q70 7AT diagnosis requires Infiniti Consult III. Solenoid circuit E is the most common fault code β valve body replacement is the primary repair. V6 torque converter shudder: fluid replacement (Matic K) first, then torque converter if persistent. V8 overheating: cooler flow check and fluid condition assessment. ATTESA coupler: fluid service first, coupler replacement for confirmed mechanical failure. Cold-start engagement delay typically resolves with valve body servicing. The Q70 V8 generates more heat than V6 β more frequent fluid changes recommended at 35,000 miles for V8 models.
Nissan Matic K ATF (2014β2017) or Matic S (2018β2019); approximately 9β10 quarts; ATTESA transfer case: Nissan-specified gear oil
Fluid service: same day; valve body/solenoid: 1β2 days; torque converter: 2β3 days; ATTESA service: same day; full rebuild: 4β6 days

Yes β the Q70 is the renamed Infiniti M-series. The M37 became Q70 3.7, and the M56 became Q70 5.6 (essentially). The drivetrain is identical between the M-series and Q70 of the same engine.
The RE7R01A 7AT is a durable unit. The main vulnerabilities are solenoid circuit E failure (well-documented) and torque converter shudder (fluid-related). With proper Matic K/S fluid maintenance, Q70 transmissions routinely reach 150,000+ miles.
Yes β the 5.6L V8 generates more heat than the 3.7L V6. We recommend fluid changes every 35,000 miles for V8 models vs. 40,000β45,000 for V6 models.
Yes β we stock RE7R01A rebuild kits and keep Matic K/S ATF in stock. Full rebuilds take 4β6 days with a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.
Solenoid E is one of the shift solenoids in the valve body. Circuit faults indicate resistance or signal issues β either the solenoid itself has failed or there's a wiring issue. Valve body replacement is the standard repair when the solenoid itself has failed electrically.
Same-day appointments available. Honest estimates, no surprises. We've been doing this since 1987.
