PATHRIDER Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Hey guys im working on the wifes 92 hardbody and changed the transmission and transfer case which we pulled off of a 95 pathfinder. finished it up and no movement Wouldnt it atleast have forward or reverse if the transmission is bad? Also on the transfer case I used the same oil that I used on the transmission which is dexron 3 Could it be a bad t-case or did I use the wrong oil Any input is greatly appreciated Thanks fellas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Are you sure that it is shifting into the gears? I don't know much about the automatic trannys but the factory service manual has a big section on troubleshooting. Have you downloaded it yet? As for the ATF, it is just fine. The manual states ATF or gear oil, 75w-90 IIRC. Most people simply run what their tranny fills with... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the transmission functioned in the pathfinder? if not, it's very possible, and likely, that the transmission is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It cracks me up when people talk about failing components and then use 7-8 trips around the earth as a 'poor' standard metric... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calipers work great once I got the corrosion off of the battery contacts so they stopped shutting off randomly but I haven't installed the headlight bulbs yet. Need to rewire through relays first and I'm just too damn busy with the new house right now. What did I send you, glove box latch?? Wiring?? So many parts and so many people... So yeah, all is well here and I hope the same is true for you (other than this tranny crap). Let's see... I am looking for... 1999 R50 sunroof glass with good seals. Xterra roof rack, early models only. WD21 rubber window seals for the windshield and rear side windows. WD21 headlight wiring plugs. WD21 front corner lights. Fit them all in a flat rate box and I'll buy you a lottery ticket!! B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 LOL it's all good!! A full set of 4 would be minimum, but 8 can't hurt, they are some odd size that is hard to find, M12x1.25 or M14x1.5, I can't remember which. Good luck and happy hunting...
