after tuesday next week im done with finals so i wanna go offroading and maybe some -alcohol-

hehe sheesh that sounds annoying... i got my CV axels replaced.. wasnt too hard to do it myself.. saving me 400 bucks so now i am fully offroad ready woo and when i get my tax return in like a month ill lift my pathy's butt higher ^^

oh wow.. small world .. i would love to go offroading with you guys.. i gotta fix my pathys problems too : /.. inner CV boots just blew (yeah both of them ><) while i was on my way home to change the transmission fluid :| but when its fixed!! im up for anything involving my pathfinder off the road

kk will do... my friend thinks it might be my bearings going out.

heya everyone! im up in davis (during school)... and in lafayette during summer.. woo

hmmm... actually when i think about it, it is really hard to move it into 1st gear sometimes.. but i dont notice that when the whine happens. Recently the clutch all of sudden felt a bit softer.. but wasnt anything big.. it never was bad or anything. When i went to tahoe my truck didnt want to accellerate going up hill. But on flat ground it accelerates just fine. And no i dont smell anything weird. Say i do find metal flakes in the fluid.. what should i do?

I doubt its ever been replaced.. i just bought it last summer and its at 185k miles. I'm gonna change teh trans fluid this weekend. How do i tell if it is something in the transmission?

im reposting this from the manual transmission sticky thread so something is giving me a hum noise (thought it was just the wind at first O.o) only in 3rd gear at about 35-40.. then when i push in the clutch it stops and starts again when i go into 4th and stops at like 45 mph... I also noticed that it seems to only happen in the morning going to school and its usualy pretty cold outside. And it stops doing it after 5 or 10 minutes of driving. And it stays one pitch... i dont think how much i push down the gas pedal affects the noise. And I have dont know where its coming from except its somewhere in the front of me ( i think could be wrong since its really hard to tell) thanks all, joebob

ill repost this on the garage forum i guess =o

so something is giving me a hum noise (thought it was just the wind at first O.o) only in 3rd gear at about 35-40.. then when i push in the clutch it stops and starts again when i go into 4th and stops at like 45 mph... i guess its not the same thing since it happens in 4th? either way im going to change my trans fluid.. just want to know what this whine is heh.

ok sounds good ill get both ^^ thx a lot

ok.. so how necessary is it to get the new UCA's?

so is it actually the torsion bars that do the height adjusting? and the UCA's just provide correct ball joint angles so that it doesnt put pressure on it the wrong way right? soooooo if i dont want to replace parts i should get both the T bars and the UCA's so i have correct ball join angles so things wont wear down?

hey everyone.. this guy is selling his calmini UCA's and torsion bars and ive been talking to him about it. He suggests that i dont want the full 3" lift from the UCA's and that i might just want to get the torsion bars and crank them up a little and his reasoning is partly because he didnt like the full 3" of lift. He said that the lift puts the UCA's too close to the bump stops and causes loss of traction when driving on bumpy rocks and such... do you guys think that it is worth the loss of traction to have the higher lift?? thx joebob

I need to replace my timing belt sometime soon.. but my mechanic said that with this type of engine if the timing belt broke.. the engine would be ok.. but after hearing what happened to you two would it be safer to replace it now?

im used to that kind of thing.. all my friends are like that

thx everyone hehe oh and nice pathfinder slick

people just keep making fun of that picture!! i think im removing it :o

Hey, I just bought myself the car i have always wanted, a '92 pathfinder and love it so much so far. Sooo i just thought i would say hello to everyone. Theres some pictures of it on this link-->> Cardomain site
