  1. Dextron II is the proper fluid but that was outdated and replaced with dextron III and is fine to put in there. there are a few different transfer cases that nissan produced throughout the wd21's life that all have different drain/fill plug locations. if you have a haynes manual, it shows all of them in there. Since you have a 1994, most likely you fill plug is rear facing on the transfer case right in front of the rear most cross member.
  2. My front axles need to be replaced and "pop" when i turn. Thats probably your best bet. check if the boots on the axle shaft have any holes in them. Its not a sure sign if an axle is bad but if so the grease that belongs in there has whipped out from centrifugal force while you drive and is no longer in there. the balls in the bearings tend to "pop" without grease.
  3. Using a 19mm wrench remove the locknut from the top of the torsion bar adjuster bolt. Using a 19mm socket on the bolt head and a 19mm wrench to hold the top nut, remove the torsion bolt from the cross-member. When the bolt is free of the cross-member take note of the angle that the torsion bar anchor protrudes from the cross-member. If you don't get this right the torsion bar bolt will either hang down too far when the ride height is set or you will not have enough adjustment available to achieve the proper ride height. Having it hang down makes it a target for rocks and if hit, the anchor could fail. Now that the torsion bars are loose pull the bars towards the rear of the truck and they should come right out. If they don't come out easily hit the front of the torsion bar with a rubber mallet while pulling them toward the rear or the vehicle. Apply a liberal amount of grease to the spines at each end of the new bars if you are replacing them. If using the original torsion bars, reinstall about 3 splines counterclockwise into the front anchor on the left side of the truck, and clockwise the right. Again, with new bars, take the rubber boots from the old bars and install them on the new bars. Getting the new bars in can be a little tricky. Slid the bar all the way in the front anchor until it buts against the A arm. In the case of my 4-cylinder truck the new torsion bars are about ¼" longer than the stock bars, requiring the removal of the anchor crossmember to get the rear anchors on. If using new bars, reinstall the anchors angled downward (rotated about 2-4 splines from where they were on the factory setup. This is called REINDEXING. Re-install the anchor bolt and tighten until the bolt retracts into the cross-member. Lower your vehicle and drive it back and forth at least 10 feet. This will allow the suspension to settle so you can correctly measure your ride height. NM FOUND IT THANKS!!
  4. i have a 1995 pathfinder xe and already took up most of the slack on the torsions, but and nervous to go any further in fear of the torsions breaking as im off roading. i would like to go as high as possible. My frame isnt in the best of shape but the torsion adjust screw is easy to turn and has no problem with adjustments.....any help would be nice. thanks
  5. its definitely connected bc it goes into 4wd and 2wd, but i have to stop, guess where to put it, drive to see what its in, then if its not in the gear i want i have to do that all over again. it doesn't click or stop when your moving it into a gear.
  6. i have a 1995 pathfinder xe that im having trouble switching from 2wd to 4wd. the shifter does not click, or stop at different selections at all. it feels like a standard car going from 1st to 2nd. is there a bushing or something i can replace to fix this problem? is this common?
  7. Hey. my name is josh. i just picked up a 95 XE pathfinder for 500 bucks so i dont have to put my 90 240sx through a miserable syracuse NY winter. I love this truck.....it puts my friends 96 cherokee to shame off road (even without a solid front axle like the jeep has.) Im planning on pulling my 240 next year to autocross events, so i added air shocks in the back. I also upgraded the tire size to 30x9.5x15's on stock mitsubishi montaro rims with 1/4" spacers. I cranked up the torsion rods in front and she seems like she's unstoppable. Looking for some new springs for the next upgrade.
