Great stuff guy's! I will get started this week end. I did find the post on the tranny cooler install last nightand and I don't see any hang ups there, it looks to be a cut and dry install. As for the flush it sound like I will have to do it twice in order to get the fluid out of the converter. I have been working on trucks for quite a number of years now but I have to admit the info that comes from this forum really makes one's life easier. I let you know how things turn out. Thanks again!!

Thanks for the feedback! Should I flush the unit first to see if it help's? Or just go ahead and drop the unit? If I do a flush and it works, how long will it last. If I drop the unit would I be able to repair just the reverse clutch or would I have to tackle the whole tranny? I am not running the truck now so i can do what is necessary to get this fixed. K.C.

I will go ahead and change out the cooler, not a problem. I was just curious as to why I only have the problem with the reverse gear and all the others work fine. If the fluid is causing problems would it not effect the functionality of all gear ranges? In any case when I do change out the cooler and the problem is still present, do I need to consider the reverse clutch? If this is indeed the case will this require the removeal of the tranny and will I have to completely rebuild the unit or just tend to the reverse clutch? Man this is getting deep, whatever happened to the quick fix? Anyway, I really appreciate your help in this matter. This is the first time that I have had to deal with this type of issue, usually I just remove the tranny and send it down to the local shop and they benchwork it. I am told the Nissan trannys tend to get expensive if you take it to a shop. Thanks,

I would like to think it could be a cooling issue due to the fact that is has been an average of 106 degrees here lately. The temp gauge pretty much stays at normal so should I start with the flush first?

I would have to say less than 5,000 miles. The fluid looks clean and smells new.

I have a 1995 PFXE with an auto tranny. I have just hit 100,000 miles and the truck has always ran perfect, until now. The trans has and still does shift nice and easy. Well today after work I get in and it will not go in reverse, talk about a shock, the worst part is I live 50 miles from work. Well I put it in drive and no prob. I drove all the way home like nothing ever happened. Kind of strange but I am hoping for some good feed back here, honestly a quick fix would be much better. I have searched the site and did not find a simular issue and the FSM I looked up gave me a few ideas but what I am hopping for here is someone that has had he same experience or better yet a solution Sorry to ramble on folks but it is frustrating to have you truck just decide to choke up on you. Any suggestions??? I just hope I don't have to rip out the tranny. Thanks, K.C.
