Ha, that’s my feeling - though only 17 years. I only put the Coastal on because I ran across it second hand & my front end had been messed up from a collision for 2 1/2 years.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I am hoping to find an already pulled transmission from a junkyard or shop; Pull-A-Part is definitely my last option as a necessity only. I do not mind spending a little extra to save myself the trouble of repeating the job anymore than I have to, for sure. I'll probably get whatever I buy rebuilt, I just hate to rebuild the one out of my truck since I could drop a little more money to have the newer design with the supposed better internals of the 2001-2004 models. In the end I'm just reviving the old girl to have a fun truck to wheel on the weekends and to be able to take passengers with me when exploring the trails (as opposed to the normal motorcycle route). I'll definitely have a look around the other side of Atlanta to see what I can find, and I appreciate the tips.

Honestly can't say. Never paid much attention to to the cant of the drum brakes on any Pathfinder. My 93 has rear disc for the service brakes like Pathfinders should have. The drag didn't seem to be a problem with the brakes and hardware themselves, but with the parking brake cable from what you were saying.

When the trans let go in my 93, I was down to having only 3rd gear left when I found a local shop that quoted $1500 to rebuild it and that included the R&R. Best price I had found before that was $900 + core for a rebuilt one in Arizona. For the cost of shipping, I had figured borrowing my brother's Subaru and doing a road trip taking the dead trans down and bringing the replacement back. Would have been half the shipping costs. When I got the quote, I figured the $600 difference with more warranty was worth it. When they got the trans torn down, they called me to come in and see the damages. Wound up costing an additional $300 because they had to resurface the drums and replace a planetary set along with some other odd bits and pieces that normally wouldn't have had to be replaced. The trans cooler I had purchased but not yet installed was deemed perfect for it and so they used it along with the new torque converter that was part of the rebuild that also included upgrades for the trans. Was very happy with the work and the trans has been trouble free since other than when I had a band break a few years after. That they took care of for only $500 since it was out of warranty, but not bad for the labor. That all was done about 16 years and an engine ago. Had moved up to 33x12.50's before then, so I figure the rebuild made the trans as strong as the later ones if not better. Might be something to consider, just having the trans rebuilt and upgraded while rebuilding.

I would hate to have to pull one of these trans/tcase assemblies at pullapart. I got a used trans with the tcase attached for $600 at Givens Junk Yard in Lawrenceville. It was literally flawless. Best shifting trans of any vehicles I’ve ever been in. I tried to destroy it, and with great success I was able. The next transmission I got was from Lance Used Auto Parts also in Lawrenceville. It had 50k more miles on it and I think I paid $700, or $550.. can’t remember. It’s not flawless like the first but it’s a solid transmission. Givens and Lance both guarantee their transmissions for 30 days which is plenty long enough to know whether it’s going to be a good one or not. If the trans from pullapart is bad you have to pull it back out yourself, take it back, pull another one which may also be bad, and put it back in again. That’s worth the extra cash to me...

I've popped the ones on the back of my seats, to tighten the small clips that hold my seatbelts.They make tools for popping those,just a plastic fork in a kit, harbor freight has them for cheap. comes with molding tools also. I had extra clips I got from JY in case of breakage.

If you're talking about the odd circular clips where the carpet folds over itself when the seat is up, I've popped at least one of them off before. I recall it being a little bit of trouble getting it to snap back on...it's more like a snap than a push-clip. I want to say I may have cracked it on accident and ended up gluing it back on...don't remember. Owner's manual says to not secure more than 22 lbs per cargo hook...so 88 lbs if using the floor hooks, supposedly. It includes the side and ceiling hooks, but I don't think I'd ever use those as cargo-tie downs; they just don't seem strong enough.

From my experience the seatbelts didnt retract. If i bent over to pick something up in passenger side floorboard they wouldn't come back to normal position when i sat back up. So they deemed them unsafe and replaced both fronts. Sent from my SM-S737TL using Tapatalk

yeah i think he means the ones that go up and along the back seats because its one piece
