Trans shudder and co-mingled fluid in Rad & trans diagnosed at 98k miles.
I opted not to do the bypass because I tow a heavy boat. Now I'm kicking myself for not changing the radiator before this happened.
I caught it w/i 3k miles since my last inspection and opted NOT to go the $3000 co-pay for a new trans thru Nissan. Dealer replaced the rad and we flushed the trans for $1,200.
Do you all feel trans failure is inevitable after any level of coolant in there? I wonder how many more miles I might get out of this vehicle or should I go trade it in sooner than later.
It's a shame because this has been such a good functioning truck for me...
