Description of the problem	I took my pathfinder to the dealer complaining of shifting problems to esserman nissan in miami florida. The service manager opened the hood and after waiting over 1/2 hour removed the radiator cap to find water in the form of a cream ( took pictures). He stated that the engine coolant most likely had gone inside the transmission and created damage, but because my car was 82k miles there was nothing the dealer could do i called nissan and filed a case, but it was useless. I took the car to a transmission shop where they charged me $700+tax to flush the transmission, change the torque converter and install an external oil radiator for the transmission. They stated that the damage was done and although the rough shifting will be a constant, that at least i will buy some time because a complete rebuilt was 3500usd. Finally the transmission gave up on the highway when my wife entered the highway but the car did not move pass second gear. She found the next exit and called me. She made it home on second gear and high rpm. I called back nissan, they ask me to take the car to the dealer. The car was at home so before taking it i decided to pass by and talk to the manager. He stated that if nissan did not help me at 82k miles what made me believe that they were going to help me at 120k. I left the car at home until further notice.
