FishHunter Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 This is the first time it has gotten cold since I became an owner. On the road first thing this am, the rpm's did not drop as normal at 55mph. After a few miles and it warmed up, it shifted as per normal. Is this normal for the 2003 Pathfinder?

thorpe991 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 mine does the same thing and i haven't found anything wrong with mine and all my fluids are full so i think it might be something with how Nissan has them set up mines a 97 so it will probably be different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karmann Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Sounds pretty average on my 02. Are your shifts between 1st and 2nd somewhat harsh too? Because that's well documented, but completely normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towncivilian Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The torque converter does not lock until fluid is at operating temperature. This is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 mine does it too. so I just let it Idle in D or R for a minute or two. then I drive away, this seems to warm up the tranny a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I let mine warm up a bit as well. Shoot, even my manual gearbox in my Miata doesn't like to shift cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
