I'm not convinced... The damn thing is driving really well right now. I guess only time will tell. By the way I've made it pretty clear that I am WAY over 85000 miles. NO WARRANTY. Anyone have anything constructive to say?
Stop driving your Paathfinder until you drain the antifreeze out of the transmission! You will destroy your transmission as others already have. I may have just avoided failure by immediately doing the bypass and getting the nasty water/antifreeze OUT of the transmission by whatever means necessary....
Check out my post in the Engine/Drivetrain section dealing with this same issue. I have recently dealt with the problem and I am waiting to see if my work will pay off. I believe if you get to the transmission and get the antifreeze out of there ASAP you can save your transmission or AT LEAST extend...

It seems like I may have caught the problem just in time. I reported in an earlier post that I h...
She's got 116300 miles. I bought her because she was in such great shape for the mileage. The oil was clean, but since the tranny dipstick was bolted down I decided not to check it (kicking myself now, but if the tranny fails I'll be kicking the sh*t salesman who worked me over) UPDATE: Ok folks, I'...
Hello everyone, I am new to the forum and this will be my first post. I just bought a 2006 Pathfinder a few weeks ago and I've been extremely happy with it so far. I noticed a vibration from the transmission a few days ago at about 41 mph when the transmission was in coast. I haven't noticed any oth...
