| Description of the problem | I was driving my newly purchased used 2006 pathfinder and noticed that i could not get up to speed until i got up to 45 or 50 mph noticed i had several error codes ended up that one was the transmission valve assy. Took it to transmission shop which tested the fluid and found that there was radiator coolant mixed with the transmission fluid. The car was great except for this issue. Now it barely drives only in 4th gear and i am told if i keep driving it that way it will burn it up. I need to replace both the valve assy and the transmission and radiator to solve the problem at a cost of 5k. I do not have the money. This is really unacceptable. |
