My transmission is getting tired after 275,000 miles. It grinds going into 3rd and 4th. Also it falls out third when I let off the throttle. In addition it falls out of 1st sometimes when starting from a complete stop. First choice is to get it rebuilt (bearings and syncros). Second choice is to get a used transmission out of a junk. My question is: Will 86-95 transmission bolt straight in to my 88 pathfinder? Also will a trans out of a V6 hard body work? Also, is a later model transmission more desirable because they hold more fluid?

Thank you. Yes it can rev up high like normal when its cold but about 5 min. into driving it it wont go past 3000 RPM, boggs out. How would i go about pulling the code?

I have a 1987 pathfinder and I have got an issue with the RPM. Once the motor warms up a little when the RPMs reach 3000 the motor bogs out and u cant go passed 3000 RPM.. . otherwise it runs great and you can shift right through the gears. Does anyone have any suggestions. ....?

I had a problem that sounds the same. Turned out to be a vacuum leak. A hose popped off underneath the air box back towards the firewall. I also found a cracked hose under the air box closer to the front. If you have some brake cleaner you can generally find a vacuum leak fairly easy. Do you know that trick? Also if it was smoged recently i have had problems with those smog guys knocking off hoses or whatever else.

Driving in the snow is the best! Especially fresh poweder!!! Agree that other drivers are the most dangerous part and do make me nervous at times.
