I had the same issue with the rad fluid in the tranny. the dealer did not really help me that much so I bitched to Nissan about it ( 115,000 KM on it) and they did a goodwill replacement of the rad and flushed the tranny 3 times(or so they said). I saw the total bill and it was over $2K I paid just ...

Check the rad fluid asap and get it changed. I think I was lucky so far because I have put on alot of miles on the Pathy since I came back from the Dealer check and have had no issues at all so I think just changing the rad did the trick. See if Nissan will help out

Update Brought it in to the Dealer this AM-waited 1 hr and a half for them to tell me they found a soft code error but they could not figure it out so they had to call Nissan. It could be the TCM Module which is price but still cheaper than a replacement tranny. I have to wait for them to call the T...

UPDATE #3 The Pathy is going into the shop again on Monday for a test drive. The transmission has been acting up. I just drove on the highway this afternoon and between 80-10km/hr there was a wicked shudder that even my passenger noticed that was very noticeable. It happened about 2 or 3 times. As s...

Markvk, I bought my Pathfinder from them too. Who did you speak with? I don't have the issue, but just in case... I spoke to my salesguy who then left 3 days later. I had to deal with Nissan directly then, then called Morrey and I had Paul from service give me a call to explain what Nissan would he...

This post was what it took to get me to register. I just bought a 2007 Pathfinder in late May. I found all the info on the radiator after I bought it, but my mechanic said most manufacturers designed it that way. I notice a slight shudder when the transmission should downshift, but only at low rpms...

This has me slightly worried myself. I have an 05 with 168k and I've started to notice a slight shudder when in overdrive. I'm glad the dealer didn't fork you with that bill and covered a good bit of it. I'm tempted to try that bypass before this becomes an issue. Markvk, where abouts in Canada are...

UPDATE I left the Pathy with the Dealer while I was on vacation for 10 days. I just picked it up Monday and it surprisingly is running quite smoothly. The slipping issue seems to have disappeared. The dealer flushed the tranny 3 times and replaced the Rad and it only cost me $700.00. The whole bill ...

Update So I spoke to a few transmission guys here in town and they knew exactly what I was talking about before I even finished my story. I told Nissan my concerns and also e-mailed the dealer. I told them I was concerned about damage to the transmission and the answer the dealer had was-" We h...

Transmission Shudders in Overdrive

Ok-I have read all the posts in the forum about all the transmission issues with the rad etc... but I dont have a rad leaking issue. I have a 2005 pathfinder with 114000 km on it and have had a shudder when I am at about 1500rpm or so. Here is what I have found so far I had a tranny mechanic go for ...
