Thanks a bunch Kingman, searched, but didn't look at the newer stuff. That's exactly what I needed to know. Anyone want a useless 87 tranny? lol Chase

Hey everyone, my buddy's Pathy has the transmission quit on him a little while ago. It has an external cooler. We are looking to swap one from a parts Pathy that we have, only thing is, the 87 shifter lacks the 'power' button, but the 89 has it. Are the transmissions the same between 87 and 89? The 89 is the truck we're looking to repair and the 87 is the donor vehicle. It is complete. What kind of a headache are we going to have getting this thing to work? Is it a direct swap? Thanks all.

Believe it or not, but the north american pathfinders actually had provisions in the dash for the Terrano clinometer. There are holes cut into the steel under the dashpad foam that cover up the rectangular holes that those speed nuts fit into. When I installed mine it went in secured with all factory hardware in the stock location. it even has a proper sized hole in the center to run power for the back lights. I'll snap a pic of my parts pathy. I exposed all of the holes in the dash on the parts one, so I wouldn't mangle my good dash. I wouldn't be without it now! Everyone that sees it asks where it came from and if it's factory.
