I'd have to try to dig up the information again... I stumbled upon a few cases while researching the reliability of Pathfinders prior to going out and buying one.bbermann wrote:I have owned a 2006 Pathfinder since new and have enjoyed following this forum since. I have not heard that this is an issue to be concerned with.
Where is your information from? Is this something we should be thinking of?
I had the same concern after a post on this forum a while ago.kramer wrote:Does anyone have an external transmission cooler installed on an '05+?
The reason Im asking is that I've now read several reports of the stock trans cooler located in the engine radiator cracking open and allowing coolant to go into the transmission effectively ruining it. I'd like to avoid this potential headache altogether and just slap in an external cooler of some kind. Wondering if there are kits out there that people are familiar with? Or is this totally unnecessary??
Im picking up my new-to-me '05 tomorrow and wouldn't wanna be faced with potential $4000 repair bills any time in the future.
So a symptom of the failure is coolant low but no visible leak?kramer wrote:Did the searching and found this thread again:

OK I want to get this straight. I couldn't find any info in the service manual on this.kramer wrote:Im picking up my Pathfinder tomorrow and its going straight to the garage for an oil change, Im gonna have the trans oil changed and checked out as well. If it appears that its been in contact with coolant I'll have a full flush done and either have the rad replaced or an aftermarket cooler installed in order to bypass the existing one.
