No I haven't. Transmission mounts sound like a good thing to investigate. Any info on them? Where are they located? Do they go bad every so often? Difficult to test or replace?

Background: Bought the 2005 pathfinder used in February. Transmission was replaced in March 2013. When driving over bumps there is a very loud squeak seeming to come from the gear shifter. When not running, the squeak cannot be recreated by pushing on any of the interior or by shaking the car. It al...

Did the squeak from the hood latch sound like it was coming from inside when you were driving? The squeak I have sounds like its coming right from the gear shifter or below it.

Cool thanks a lot. I've gotten the cover around the cup holders off and the larger plastic piece forward of the cup holders off but I couldn't get the shifter knob off or the piece of plastic that has the "P R D 1 2" off.

I like that diagram and I wanna take another whack at it. Does anyone have a good step by step how to remove the gear shift knob? I got stuck here last time. Another thing, when I begin to apply the gas from stop, like creep forward, the sound happens. As if the shifter settles into its spot. Its su...

That's really what I thought it was at first! It sounds just like a loose or cracked piece of plastic. But after taking the console apart and driving it the sound was still there. The sound is coming from beneath where the gear shifter connects to.

I have a 2005 with 129k on it. It is really subtle so i think i will just monitor it. It just alarmed me a bit because of the transmission issues. I have a hard time believing a flush would have a huge effect on something like that.

I think I am going to start looking from the outside now. I had the console apart looking for the source but couldn't find it. We had two days warm up to the 40s last week and I'm pretty sure it significantly reduced the squeak so maybe it is because of the cold effecting some plastic pieces or some...

Not when I push the gas, at least I haven't noticed it do it then, but about half a dozen times (I've only owned it two weeks) I have noticed it when removing my foot from the gas. I just urked me because I have heard so many horror stories about the transmission/radiator and the Pathfinder I bought...

Sometimes when I'm driving along I feel a bump/shudder. Its not in the road but it feels like its transmission related. I almost want to say that when I take my foot off the gas it happens. It also seems to happen more often when I'm in 4WD. Is this an early sign of transmission issues? Is this some...

So I have a 2005 Pathfinder SE. Just got it actually. The one drawback that I didn't like about the test drive was a squeaking/creaking sound that seemed to come from the gear shifter knob area. I considered it a minor drawback, something that I could fix down the road. I took the center console and...
