| Description of the problem | The transmission started jerking very bad when it hit 1700 rpm range while driving, so i slowed down... Scared. I went and had it checked only to find out it is very common with this truck - fluid in transmission caused from the trans fluid running through the radiator and the heat exchange leaks water into the trans fluid. This is a well documented problem i learned. The repair is not covered by nissan and is a 5000 dollar repair at nissan dealership, a total transmission and radiator replacement is needed. |
