I just went and drove around a bit more. I can't get it to occur every time but it seems to be more focused around 55-65 when in top gear. When it occurs it does seem rumble strip fast. If I turn off over drive it goes away and doesn't reoccur until I turn it back on.DanJetta wrote:How fast is the vibration? Rumble strips-fast is the transmission; bent rim-fast is usually the u-joints or driveline.
Wow! I hope the dealer does not give you a hard time on this. The great thing is you will have a new or rebuilt trans and new radiator. Was it purchased from a Nissan dealer?Fryguy22 wrote:It was the dreaded SMOD. Transmission is toast. It started slipping yesterday. Luckily in New Mexico we have what's known as an implied warranty. It is valid for 15 days and 500 miles and covers severe failures. This means my transmission is covered and the dealer is on the hook for it! Looks like I lucked out this time!
if your tranny fluid and the coolant in your reserve tank looked good (as in your first post), how was the problem diagnosed?Fryguy22 wrote:It was the dreaded SMOD. Transmission is toast.
