where and whats is a turbine sensor

can anybody help me out and tell me what a turbine sensor  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
the guy at kargen said it part of the mass air flow  but im not sure he knows what  hes talking bout 
 
 
i have a paper from infiniti  and it says
 
turbine sensor leak  (transmission fluid) 
 
 
so help me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

turbine sensor?
i cant say i have ever heard that name used on a part, bu ti could be werong
 
maybe tq converter something or other?

thanks and the airflow meter is the mass air flow right

yep thats the other name

theres a turbine revolution sensor which is the magnetic sensor on top of the tranny on obd II Nissans...

on the y33 Q45 the sensor cracks... maybe thats what it is

let me give a little more info.  The sensor cracks, allows trans fluid to come through the wiring harness and leaves a few drops of trans fluid at the back of the tranny. I first thought it was an output shift seal gone bad but it turns out its the turbine revolution sensor.

to fix it you have to A. drop the tranny and replace the sensor or
B. remove the motor mounts from the front, let the engine/trans hang down and get to the sensor with a long long extension right by the firewall.

Its a PITA... and the y33 tranny is not a light trans so its a big job

its lighter than a gtr trans :)

what he said.....there are some ways around dropping the motor but they involve creating an access panel through the floor underneath the center console.   Another marvel of Nissan engineering. Gotta love putting a sensor of any kind out of reach of being repaired except for dropping the tranny.  Also, might as well do your rear main seal and any other serviceable items between the tranny and the motor, and if i recall correctly their is another sensor located on the top of the tranny that I would change as long as you have it out.  

Symptoms of this sensor having issues include the housing weeping fluid and a hesitancy between shifts

You are correct sir =p

try doing a tranny swap with a GTR trans
 
that sucks

Ill stick to s chassis trannies! Lightweight! Makes me feel buff haha

shit i have to get this taken care of as well... i had called about a "gasket" for a sensor back there and was informed its more than likely a sensor leaking but i would have to find out witch one it was..... this car get gayer by the week..... in mech. issues that is

I think the ignition coils and this sensor are two absolutely retarded features of this otherwise solid car

My car barely has 100k miles and I had two replace both of these

My other nissans and infinitis have proven to be more reliable.

Its not the cost of parts that bugs me, its just the lack of quality in design that causes stupid little issues like this
