| Description of the problem | My 2006 nissan frontier would not shift out of first gear in rush hour traffic. (latter it would not go into reverse.) i pulled off to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle, decided to try and nurse it in first gear until i got it home. It seem to work fine. My understanding after searching the internet there is a know problem with nissan frontier and coolant getting into the transmission. |
