darkestskydiver Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 i tried posting this in another forum but never got a single response. i have a 92 pathy se that i picked up for 700. it runs awsome but the tranny make noises. 1st 2nd and 3rd gears make this grinding/whining noise, 4th is as quiet as a mouse, and 5th is.. well lets just say i don't go into 5th. to me it sounds like the berrings are going out? but then again i do not know a whole lot about trannys. if anyone has had this problem please chime in. my delema is weather i should try an rebuild it, and if i do where do i find a rebuild kit or components? or should i just get one fron the pick and pull? i pick up another tranny what should i look for? what years are interchangable? any help would be greatly apreciated.

Precise1 Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 Ok, lets do better then... First, read this... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=2621 How many miles on it?? I believe you can use any 5 speed from 2 or 4 door WD21, but I know any 4 door (90-95) can be a donor. Look for low miles/well maintained (ie fluids changed). Shop locally for mechanic specials, crashed, rolled trucks you can swap from. The rebuild isn't too hard from what I understand, but I'm not a tranny guy so I won't say any more. A few people here have done it so I'll try to find a thread on it. Your best bet it to replace it with a known problem free tranny. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hey, glad I could help!! I forgot to mention one last option that may be feasible if it is not your daily driver. Pull the tranny, take it to a shop and have them rebuild it. Sure, It will cost a little but you should be guarenteed a sound tranny and have a warranty as well... i have about 250k on it right now. the motor runs good Gotta love these things, eh? i will be replacing the timing belt for sure hopefully in the next week or so. Yeah, don't put that off!! Often when people replace the timing belt they also inspect/replace the cam seals, coolant bypass hose, front main seal, etc so they don't have to do 1/2 the work all over again.
