| Description of the problem | Problem as described by nissan service tech: xterra was towed to us with the concern "my xterra is slipping, will not go backwards, will not drive in drive, only drive in 3rd, hooked up to computer and came up p1716". We confirmed the car would not move in reverse, as it was towed in and parked so that backing up was the only option. The code p1716 is related to the transmission turbine circuit not functioning properly. Upon further diagnosis, we removed the radiator cap to find the radiator filled with the milky combination of coolant and transmission fluid. The radiator is a sub-level radiator, where the top portion is for coolant and the bottom portion is for cooling the transmission fluid. The radiator cracked internally causing the fluids to mix. The transmission and radiator need to be replaced to rectify the problems. New transmission is $3215. 71 with the estimated arrival date of tuesday, september 21. The new radiator is $538, currently in stock. The labor estimate is $1442. 70. The estimated completion of work is wednesday, september 22, with estimated total bill coming to $5560. 16 tax included. |
