i just bought a 88 pathfinder, automatic, and it smells funny when running. Its not an oil smell, almost like an antifreeze smell, but theres no leaks. The transmission shifts fine, and the smell gets stronger with the windows rolled down, which is weird cause theres some rusted thru holes underneath the rear seat where the exhaust is(and huge holes the seller didnt mention underneath the cargo area, what goes under there?) Im thinking its the tranny, but im new to autos. I've read the threads where an aftermarket transcooler needs to be installed and to bypass the OE one. thats getting done ASAP, as well as the timing belt, then the CV boot/joint. The truck runs strong, shifts firm *goes into 2nd gear almost unnoticed* i even pulled a trailer with a banshee on it and the truck had no problems. kinda smells like a clutch burning though.
thanks all
