89,132 miles...answer me a couple questions.
Posted: Thu Jan 08, 2015 12:03 pm
I've got a 2008 Pathfinder with 89,132 miles on it. Over the past couple of months I started to think it was shifting different. It does not have the bypass done (bought it about 6 months ago and just learned of this) and I thought for sure I was starting to see the dreaded radiator issue.
Took it in to mechanic today and he looked at all of the fluids and also flushed my tranny fluid for me. He told me he saw zero contamination, although the tranny fluid looked like it was the original fluid and needed replaced.
I'm going to do the bypass tonight. Is there anything else I can look for to make sure that I didn't have the contamination issue before I bypass the radiator? I trust the mechanic, but I've also read some posts on here about people not seeing contamination in the fluid but still having transmission failures down the road...
If I just buy a new radiator (spectra premium) do I need to still do the bypass?
