| Description of the problem | Enjoying our pathfinder one afternoon and went to pass a car and it would not kick inot passing gear. When we stopped i could smell that it was hot, but could not find a leak. After letting it cool, i checked the coolant level and found that grey froth in the radiator. A quick check on the internet lead me to me worst fear. I am still in the process of flushing radiator and getting quotes. Local aamco guy said that transmission is doomed, and they see a lot of these. $4,000 - 4500 to rebuild. So much money for such an easy repair had i known before the radiator gave up. No more nissans for this family! |
