I just purchased a 1995 Pathfinder se with sport package for $500 , my new project, needs reverse band fixed ( no reverse) and a few things only one small rust hole in frame and a good clean up, 211,000 km. Should be a great suv to replace my 1998 pathfinder se

Congrats on the next pathy. Remember, loosing reverse is often a symptom of the radiator/tranny cooler clogging and the tranny overheating. Make sure to address this when the tranny is being fixed!! Most of us bypass the stock cooler and pipe straight to an aftermarket cooler.

You are replacing a 98 pathy with a 95? I'm not saying you "downgraded" or anything, just wondering what happened to the 98?

It's actually not the transmission over heating.

 

The cooler becomes clogged, and then the transmission is not able to hold the line pressure required for reverse, so the clutches start slipping until they just fail altogether. If i remember right, the pressure for reverse is 1.5-2x that needed for any of the forward gears.

I needed the money for my business and sold my 98, But just got a ~95 for a project ($500 bucks) and now a ~92 for parts, swapping the ~92s 5spd into the `95 right now

going one better, the auto tranny in my `95 was worse than I was hoping after getting it out so I found a `92 pathfinder with a 5spd and now converting my `95 to a 5spd.

Some prefer a truck frame with suspension arms vs a unibody with struts.
