Hello,
Haven't posted here for a while. Now with the warmer months here in the Mid west. I've been noticing my tranny gets HOT! I can feel heat radiating up through the shifter, and feel heat radiating from around the pan. I don't think that is normal. I'm afraid to drive it far as I'm afraid I might blow the tranny. My pathy is a 1990 SE V6 Auto.
Any thoughts? Or anyone experience this before? 10 years ago, I also had a 1990 Pathy, but don't remember it getting hot like this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
btw, here is the pic of my Pathy:

After a Make-Over:

I bought a set of the Cragar Soft 8's (Second picture in first post) from JEGS.com and s/h was free, with a handling charge of $13.99. I bought all 5 for $228. This is for the 15X8's though. Summit was charging 40 s/h or something like that. Something to look at.
Otherwise, I seen a little decrease in MPG on my 90 Pathy. I had Aluminums with 30.5 tires...now I have the steelies with 31's.

Oh...there's a Pick and Pull Junk Yard here in SE Wisconsin with 2 pathys for $1000 each. They seem in good shape. If interested, I can give you the # to contact them. One has a bad tranny, and the other one with a blown head. Titles have not been turned into salvage titles yet. I'll check for frame rust tomorrow, heading back to get more parts tomorrow.

Break out the welder and have some patience. Cosmetics can be done with some tin or patch/replacement panels.
....and spray paint and/or spray can liner =)

I agree. I just bought the 3" from 4x4parts.com
It's better to do it right the first time. If you don't have money, maybe a lift right now is not a good idea anyways. Save up some money first and do it right the first time. I'm for saving money too, but sometimes, you just can't. Some things can be short cutted, some things can't...and this is one of them.

wow...
where do I find this sensor cable?
-
Will, I lost my speedoo, odo, and tripo today. Kinda weird. I'm thinking it may be electrical. But thought I ask before I start diggin into the dash or where ever I need to start digging in. Thanks in advance.
It's a 1990 nissan pathfinder.
-
I'd replace them. Spend the extra $40-60 for new head bolts, and not have to worry if something is might go wrong. Replace them so you'll have better peace of mind.
-
Anyone have instructions to install these besides the one that came with the warn man. hubs? It's crap instructions...and it's like a copy of a copy of a copy so and can't hardly read some of the words. I'm sure it's pretty much simple task, but just want to make sure how much grease, and where to put grease in...etc etc...
-
Decided with the 3" BL from 4x4parts. Should be here next week, and will start installing in a month or so. Wanna get other small things and the transfer case put in first. Also got WARN manual hubs on the way too. Excited! Thinking about a 5 spd tranny swap in the future too.
-
cost of materials (more/less common= diff price) more demand for 3" kit means they can order more of them from builder, better price when ordering means better price for you.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
-
I more meant how sagged my old stocks were, I used the same springs as you (rough country right?)
Are these the 3" Springs you guys talking about??
-
Been researching a lot on which BL to get. I'm planning on the SL, but since I aqcuired a Land Rover Discovery Series II ARB Bull Bar with winch mount for $50 bucks, after looking at how I will fab it, I'll need at least a 2" BL to fab it on. Otherwise it seems like my approach angle will be reduced as the Rover ARB is a bit bigger.
Anyways, I have found 2" BL to be $30-50 more than a 3" BL. Why is that?
-
How does these lift kits work anyways? Is it because the UCA is longer, thus changing the angle of the ifs to create the lift?
MY1PATH- Are these the calmini UCA you talking about?
-
Is that a rust through on the frame in the 3rd pic? If so, I'd offer him only $500. But damn, that compared to the pathys up here in the midwest, that is hella CLEAN!
-
Did the 1990-1992 come with keyfob's too?
-
Can Auto Hubs be converted to Manual Locking hubs? I was at a Nissan dealership today, and they said no. I thought it was always possible.
If it is possible, could I use a manual locking Hub from another 90 Pathfinder on my auto hub of my 90 Pathfinder? There's one on eBay right now I thought about getting, and before I do, I want to make sure it's possible. And what else do I need to do to convert it?
Thanks in advance...and Thanks for everyone's patience.
-
the coils are good but those UCA's don't correct the ball joint angle, they only help with alignment.
Find a compromise, you can get the coils from 4x4 parts and then get somone elses UCA's and then some longer shocks in the back.
Thanks for the info. Will probably just do that then. Which UCA's do you recommend getting them from? Calmini?
-
I agree, or you could go with JGC springs and save some money
JGC?? Jeep Grand Cherokee? Just wanted to make sure. Please correct me if wrong.

Anyone have this lift kit on their pathfinder?
https://www.4x4parts.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=54
Didn't see this lift in any of the forums. Should I spend more and get the $700.oo one??
I don't plan to wheel my pathfinder much, mostly used for light trail riding and mild mud. Not deep mud. ...want to fit at least 32's...
-
Thanks for the reply all.
As for the tranny cooler, which ones do you recommend? There are tons on eBay...just to get an idea of what I can get. But what brands do you guys use for the transmission cooler?
-
Hey All, just wondering how many of you wheel with auto transmission? I just recently acquired a clean 1990 Pathfinder for $300 so can't complain. It has a rebuilt engine and a new tranny, but needs a transfer case. It has a clicking noise coming from the transfer case area while driving. He got it checked out before selling it, and his mechanic said its the transfer case. So will be getting one from the junk yard in a week or so to replace it. Also replacing all the brakes front and rear.
Anyways, I'm thinking about a 3" suspension lift and 32's BFG Mud-Terrain KM's. Or might just stay with 31's. I never wheeled with an auto tranny before so just thought I ask how many of you wheel with auto's.
Oh, a bit bout my Pathfinder...166K miles, SE V6, open rear end(unfortunately)...

LMAO reading the posts....
Transmission Getting HOT!
in The Garage
Posted
Wow! Will add one on ASAP then. Maybe it is clogging. Sometimes it gets hot, and then one time it'll be cool as a whistle. I stop at a store for 30 minutes and drive it again, and bam! it's getting hot again.
Thanks for all the help guys/gals. Much appreciated.
