| Description of the problem | My wife reported her pathfinder hesitating, noticeable lack in power, and a decrease in mpg. Before our family was about to travel to another state (new mexico to colorado) i decided to do my own little pre trip inspection. I pulled the air filter and blew it out with air, checked the oil dipstick and it read in operating range, when i pulled the transmission dipstick it was covered with contaminated oil. The engine coolant is mixing with the transmission fluid in the heat exchanger cooler. If this vehicle is driven any longer transmission failure is imminent. |
