Tranny going out

[Precise1]

Tranny is just about gone, barely wants to shift, constantly hunts between 3rd and 2nd, and 1st to 2nd.

 

If I barely hit the gas in 3rd gear it kicks down, and back and forth between gears.

 

It's annoying, but still drivable once it's on the freeway it stays in 2rd gear.

I think I got around to putting in a cooler too late, the debris has already stuck its self in some valve in the tranny.

 

I'd say so, although the cooler alone may not have made the difference this far along.

 

I'm planning on looking into a tranny fluid filter system to try to avoid this as long as possible. Anyone out there run one?

*starts searching*

 

Watch, tomorrow it'll be perfectly fine.

I hope so...

Tim (the guy I'm working for the tranny) said that when he took his 90's tranny apart because it was bad, he saw quite a few inherent design flaws easily causing failure. He also suggested I drop my oil pan off, and clean the filter inside, maybe buying me some more time. He also said to look for things blocking the ball valves from working properly, and cleaning them out if that's the case.

 

Though this happening and debris in the internals is a sign of a bigger problem with the tranny, planetary gear clutches coming apart, bands, etc.

 

Also, I might ask him if he'd be willing to tear down the old tranny with me, and see exactly what failed, and why.

Like I said before, I would rebuild it and if nothing else sell it off to buy some more upgrades for the truck.

I have this on mine.

 

 

I don't have any pics of it mounted though.

Sell it as it is? How much do you think I could get out of it?

Remember Mate - Pathfinders are ALIVE. They aren't your average vehicle

 

 

 

1) Does the vehicle only act up when you have a passenger with you?

2) Have you seen the movie 'Christine'?

1) No, it ONLY happened with one of my girlfriends... who subsequently played me as a fool and dumped me in favor of one of my friends (who's Gay none the less... wound up hurting herself in the process) and never with my fiance... in fact, with my Fiance at the wheel, the truck drives even better than it does for me *shrugs*.

 

2) No, never heard of it.

2) Have you seen the movie 'Christine'? You know, I was thinking the same thing!

You will be nice to any grumpy vehicle.
