syazoo Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi Guys I have a 95 4x4 180,000 kms. Last week when putting in reverse it acted like the shifter just wasnt in the correct position. I moved the shifter and reverse engaged. Saturday morning on my way to the airport, I get in and it wouldnt engage in reverse at all. I missed the flight. So, I came here to investigate. It seems that ultimately that no reverse means a rebuild. There is talk of trying to clean the screen. What I have not found is anyone saying this fixed the problem for them. If there is a reasonable possiblility of the cleaning actually repairing the problem then hell yes I will do that. If there isnt a reasonable likelyhood, then I am going to go to plan B, a used unit. What do you guys think? Anyone in Canada have an AT for a 95 4x4 they are interested in selling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 did you pull the dipstick and check the ATF condition? do you have the external cooler mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syazoo Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yes, I did check the ATF condition ... its more black than red ... and no I have not put in an aftermarket cooler on this pathfinder yet ... ( I did on my past two ) .... I do not want to get away from my original question, but I have a second one. I called the local wreckers and found a 92 pathfinder with 39,562 kms on it that has an auto tranny. How can I be sure if it will work in mine without worrying about the starter not fitting correctly etc. (had that prob once before). If I take my camera out and get pics of vehicle info would that help to identify if it is a good match? I would still like to find hope in a simple fluid / screen problem ... but only if it is truly a realistic fix possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Should be a perfect fit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syazoo Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 Ok, I am not sure if this is of any use, but here is a couple of pics with vehicle info, the first from my 95 and the second from a 92 in the wrecker yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 They share the same transmission designation, the only difference AFAIK is the speed sensor. The 95 has an electronic speedo, the 92 has a mechanical one. *wacks brain for correct info* Well, I think that's the cut-off date. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I believe they can be swapped and the 92 tranny will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syazoo Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Thats a good point raised 88. I do need the speedo! Anyone know if they can be switched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyb33 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 it is ok. your speed sensor is in the 95s transfer case. so you will have a speedo. nothing to worry about the 92 is an exact fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syazoo Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) Thanks for the info. I simply do not have the time to do the swap myself so I have spoken to a tranny shop about the R&R. The guy there is very skeptical about tranny's from wreckers. He suggests that I invest an hours shop labour testing the tranny with pressure guages to see if perhaps there is a more minor problem. He claims to have pathfinder experience and says that I could have a blown seal of some sort causing this problem. What do you guys think about this approach?
