Is my transmission done? Super weird issues

Is my transmission done? Super weird issues

Postby zenkid » Sun Jul 01, 2018 3:01 am

I got a used automatic 2000 r50 pathfinder whcih was running great for about 3 weeks until everything went to crap.

It now drives forward in reverse and neutral!

While off, it goes in neutral, while running it doesnt.

Instead of shifting from 2nd to 3rd, it downshifts to 1st which is scary.

No check engine light, and will not connect to code reader (tried 2).

Is this an electrical problem, failed trans, or both? Any insight is appreciated! I'm scared to change transmission only to find I have an electrical problem.

My first instinct is its done.. however maybe a competent shop may find out for sure. Most transmissions shops are honest enough they will tell you.
