These auto/overdrive Nissan Trannys aren't the best at overdrive I've noticed. When I was in stock form, I would get constant shifting in and out of overdrive on the highway on level ground with no headwinds. I could rarely use it. I've read that a few people experience that the Frontiers/Xterras overdrive won't work well until they are warmed up. Maybe the newer Pathys are the same? Jim has newer Pathy too, maybe he's noticed something.

Good points. I helped replaced a passenger side cv shaft. The outter spline count was off by 1 spline. The parts store told us we were assembling it wrong when we called them to see if they had another listing. We brought in the old one and the one they sold us and had them count the splines. Ended up going elsewhere where they used a paper manual to cross reference. If it's not in the computer, then it must not exist!

If you want to use your balancer, you can get a space direct from Nissan.

Great write up! I guess if one had a spring compressor handy, it would probably help out eh? It looks like you don't need one for the install, just that it might make things easier?

Yes, start with making sure your brake fluid is topped off. If it's coming on during corners, this seems to make sense. Let us know how it turns out.
