Tshields Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Wondering if anyone has experience with this problem? TIA! 2004 Pathfinder LE Platinum 4 speed Automatic Currently in Limp Mode Starts in park. While still in park if I give it gas it moves forward a bit. Will go forward if I shift to drive but not in 1 or 2 and I have no reverse. With car off and emergency brake off cannot move backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tshields Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Well aren't you a downer! And I think you are right. I am surprised to not be able to find any posts on the web with this problem which leads me to believe a module or actuator is nt going to fix the problems. From what I know there was no issues leading up to the failure which seems odd. Edited November 17, 2019 by Tshields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onespiritbrain Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 My best friends dad is a master transmission guy and when my trans died (the first time ) mine did that same thing, driving forward in park, and he said that the forward clutch had seized (or he may have said a different word— trashed, or broken..) and that it was toast.I found a junk yard trans for $6-700 that was literally perfect. And after I handed it’s butt to it I found another one for around the same price that’s pretty darn good also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowndawgR50 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 This is a common problem with the RE4R01A automatic transmission in the Pathfinder. Its likely the reverse clutch basket snap ring. It will break and the debris have the tendency to start to damage forwars gears, although some have had a loss of reverse with no other issue presumably from a clean break that snap ring. This year has been a bad one for the R50 automatic trans. Quite a few have had this issue. You need a rebuilt trans or to rebuild the unit in your rig. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFletcher Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 How many miles did it last ya 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshrichard Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 How many miles did it last ya mine personally didn’t quit but got pretty dang close with leaking tranny fluid being what sent me into selling it. it would get stuck in neutral when i was in drive then catch at like 2-3 grand and make the whole car shudder and wouldn’t change gears above 1st without a huge thump. after turning it off at night then starting again in the morning the car would be fine with only hard shifting. i had a thread somewhere about it but i also had the RE4R01A. Only lasted 130k miles then would go on and off with that problem until i sold it at 139k. Weirdly enough@buttercup is at 199k and the tranny runs so much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tshields Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) I am posting this for my little Bro and I think he said it has 158k miles. Does anyone know of a good transmission shop in the Flowery Branch Georgia area? Edited November 22, 2019 by Tshields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
