2005 Pathfinder transmission problems

[xtreme]

Ok, So I have been reading around online lately. It seems that a lot of people have been getting coolant leaking into the transmission and basically having to replace the whole tranny. I still have been fortunate enough to not have this problem occur yet. However, it seems like up until this point I have had every possible problem and rattle that everybody has been talking about, so I've been fearing this coming now. I really don't want to shell out over 5 grand for a new transmission.

I have a few questions to the 05 owners... First, how many people actually have had this problem and at what mileage did it occur? I have heard there is ways of preventing this from happening. The people that had this problem, this sounds like a defective radiator. Would replacing the radiator with a different one prevent this leak from happening?

I have also heard the other option was getting an external cooler to bypass the radiator completely, however this option seems like there would be a lot of extra mod work involved.

Any info on this problem would be greatly appreciated...thanks.

There's no sense asking the limited number of people who post here to tell you if they've had the problem. A simple google search will get you dozens and dozens of hits for this very issue.
