Thanks for the feedback. I got a quote from my neighborhood mechanic (used him for years with all my previous cars) and he quoted me WAY less for parts and labor than the dealership (no surprise). But, he quoted me $90.11 for a replacement belt (OEM Nissan). Does that sound right? May get it done n...

for those of us who havent done the radiator bypass yet, has anyone considered putting a lower PSI radiator cap, say 13psi, to reduce the amount of coolant getting into the transmission in CASE it fails? not 100% sure what the pressure in the tranny line normally is, but i assume at idle its around ...
