How do I check the ATF fluid?? I can't find the darn dipstick at all lol. I've gone through a 1/4 tank of gas (3/4 to 1/2) and I've driven about 50 miles. Granted the past 20 of those have been easy and the gauges falls slower. I'll have to see how it is with normal driving (I'm used to driving like a bat out of hell with the Mustang and all lol) I crawled under the truck yesterday, and saw that it doesnt have big rust issues (whew). The parking brake cable going to the drums is ok on the drivers side, but has snapped on the pass side. I did however notice while going under, that on the bottom of the body, below the pass rear door, it has a piece of metal welded to the body and thats the only rust spot on the body. Makes me think that the original body part there rusted away.

Ok so I just bought a 94 and here's the list of things I want fixed and other questions. The truck has 245k and is an automatic. How can I tell when the timing belt was changed? When I turn on the engine and shut it off there is a sound by the antenna (which is gone ) do these trucks have an auto antenna? My pathfinder is getting terrible mpg's. 40 miles ate up a quarter of a tank and I was being easy. What can I do to increase the mpg? The parking break is inop. Is this cheap to fix the whole setup? Any other tips for a pathfinder noob is welcome. The truck doesn't have major rust issues, the trams shifts smooth for having 245k and over all the only complaint is the mpg's.

Hey y'all I'm new here. I just picked up a 94 pathfinder over here at Spangdahlem AB Germany. It's got 245k miles but for what I paid itll do the job I need it to do. It's my new dd and winter beater. I also have a 2012 mustang boss 302 and my wife has a passat which we enjoy. I'll post a pic soon when I can and I'll post the questions I have in the appropriate section.
