Nope, it was always in 2H

Thanks for that, ill check it out. I had my overdrive off for most of the trip, and nope it changes gears just fine.

I had just replaced the U joint the night before I left and the mechanic told me I did a good job with fluid refilled correctly. It could be the bearings, it was definitely not bottomed out. There is a sound of something rubbing around the transfer case area, like a tinging of two metals scratching. Also, this is my first truck so I'm not familiar with everything but what is the name of the component that is connected to the 4x4 shifter? Because that area was getting very hot.

I kept it at around 3000 rpm with my foot on the gas, it cant be anything to do with the brakes because the wheels all rotate if the car is lifted up.

So this Friday I packed my surfboard and gear for a surfing road trip in my 1995 Pathfinder SE, I noticed it took quite a bit more power to move but I figured it was due to all the cargo in the back. That is until I started to go downhill, it was slowing down! I had to accelerate or else Id be going way too slow. When I tried putting it in neutral, it would keep its speed a little better but still slow down quite a bit. And when I say hills, I mean big BC hills at like 18%. I brought it to Canadian Tire and then a transmission shop and neither could figure out the problem. It seems if you let it sit for a long time, it gets a little better so maybe its the transmission or transfer case getting too hot but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated and if you need more info I'll be glad to share. Thanks
