Well, after 130k wonderful miles, the dreaded radiator coolant leak destroyed the transmission on our 2005 Pathfinder. I wonder if someone could help me with the questions below or point me to a good post.
I tried the search function for an hour but could not easily find the info I needed.
1. Rebuild vs a used transmission...any advantages to either option since they are roughly the same price
2. What model year transmissions are interchangeable? (will a 2009 transmission fit my 2005 if they are both 4x4, non-offroad with shift on the fly)
3. Anyone have experience buying a trans off ebay? Any other recommendations on where to get a good used trans for a good price.
I was quoted $4200 by a local transmission shop to fix the problem but considering the vehicle is only worth $7-8k, I want to find a less expensive option.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you
