Thanks guys. I was trying to use a puller on it but it wouldn't budge so I had to ask. Luckily I have the partsfinder to harvest from. Any tips on doing this sort of swap?

How do I get the a/c clutch off of my 95 pathfinder? The metal shock rings thingys sheered and now it does not align when spinning.

I junked the old and got a new radiator from Napa. My temps are about 1/3 and up to 1/2. I will try and push her harder this weekend and do some towing. I put in two transmission coolers, one humongous. I noticed my temps in between the front seats have really cooled off. It has been cool sinch before I put the radiator in and only had the transmissions coolers. Great site, I've got alot of help by reading. I'll have to start a new thread and ask how to get the a/c clutch off as them stupid metal ring shock absorbing things have sheered.

I found the problem. Simple but I overlooked it. The problem ended up being a plugged up radiator. I put a radiator from a junk yard in and put some barrs radiator sealer in it. I don't know if I really trust that stuff though and I'm thinking of getting a new radiator. Anyone here use this stuff and how long?

where is the sender unit?

So after some burping and bleeding air out of the system and some heat cycles, The problem seems partially solved. If I run with the a/c on full blast with outside temps of 95c the temperature will rise about two needle widths above 1/2 but just a little short of 3/4. If I turn off the a/c then it will drop to right at 1/2.

OK, I have put the new thermostat in that I bought from Napa and I'll test it for a few days and report back the results. Out of curiosity there was a support structure that sits on the thermostat on one end that looks like it helps center it in when you put it in there. Is that all that piece does?

Hello. I'm a newbie to the pathfinder. I bought it back about a year ago and it sat. The previous owner overheated it severely on the highway due to a break in the radiator. So I ended up buying another pathfinder as a donor. It too was a 1995 automatic with lower mileage. I swapped the motor from the donor into my se. I've had her up and running for a little while now and noticed that the temperature on the dash gauge sits around the middle for a while but if I do some hill climbing or run at 70+ on the highway that the temps will rise to about the 3/4 mark. It won't go any higher but that is a concern to me. I'm thinking of changing the thermostat fairly quickly but I wanted to get some idea of what people here are experiencing when in the same situation as mine? So basically my temps rise when I push the pathy hard and drop some when I don't, but I'm guessing that the temps should "hold" at about the midway point or a little higher but never go as high as mine does. The catalytic converter is original and since it was overheated, I might ask if I should swap that out too as a possibly clogged condition from over heating could case my temperature problems in the pathy?
