maddmark1981 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 My pathfinder won't shift into the next gear unless I let off the gas and when I do it's hesitant to shift. I just got this today. Any ideas? Thanks Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCWD21 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Have you checked the fluid level or the condition of the fluid yet? Have you also checked to make sure none of the cooler lines are pinched or clogged? Also, does it shift better if you start in 1st and manually shift all the way to drive?

Slartibartfast Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 The AT section of the service manual has some troubleshooting that should help narrow it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmark1981 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 We'll here's the deal, 2nd gear and Overdrive are non existent. 1st gear works fine and reverse too. I put lucus in the granny, still no change. Where/what's the cooler lines? I should also mentioned that the gear shifter console feels like it's about to burst into flames because it gets so hott..

Cuong Nguyen Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 sounds like a cracked ripped rubber boot if you're feeling the heat. Great for winter but sucks for summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCWD21 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Look at the bottom of your radiator and you'll see 2 5/8" sized lines running to 2 metal lines that run down the passenger side along your oil pan. Once behind your oil pan they come back over to the drivers side and they'll travel to your transmission. With the heat you're feeling more than likely isn't the boot missing since you're already missing a few gears. It's getting hot because the transmission is trying to stay in a gear but with worn clutch plates it can't hold so the steels and friction discs are slipping and heating up everything. Does your fluid smelt burnt and is it still a nice pinkish red color? And get that Lucas stuff out of there, it does more harm than good. And at this point there's no cure in a bottle. I hate to say this but it could be rebuild or swap time for your transmission. Sent from inside my potato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Transmission is done. Hate to say it but it is typical of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmark1981 Posted September 8, 2016 Author Share Posted September 8, 2016 Yup Adamzan took it to the transmission shop, he pulled the dip stick out and smelled it, so did I, it's burnt! $2500 for rebuild...
