Hi all I'm new here - just bought a 2006 Pathfinder - I took it out for a ride with the 4x4 on to test it out and noticed a slight burned rubber smell afterward. This was dry pavement, outside temp about 27 C, and I was driving around 80kmph for about 10 mins. (good news no weird vibes or any other issues)
The smell was not coming from the tires, and seemed to go away after a couple minutes of stopping. (engine still idling)
I'm wondering if I could have overheated the transfer case a bit - or the t case oil was a bit low allowing it to get that hot?
I've been searching the forum to see if anyone else has reported the issue but didn't see anything similar. (I found a couple other vehicle forums where this was a heated up t case issue due to lower than ideal oil level)
Any thoughts? I'm hoping this isn't anything serious!
