Description of the problem	Coolant mixing with transmission fluid. The xterra would not shift gears correctly and therefore i investigated more by checking the fluid. I found brown coolant so i decided to do a drain/fill. It was running better and i researched further and found that this is a common problem. I took my xterra to a transmission mechanic who also drained it and repaired a valve that went bad due to the coolant fluid mixing. There was a transmission cooler added as well. He also drained and filled. I then had a transmission flush just to make sure all coolant was out. With all this done, it gave me more time but the damage was done and i am continuing to have shifting issues. I now have to replace my xterra transmission. I really enjoy my xterra and have taken care of it by regular fluid changes and keeping up with it maintenance. It has a strong engine with no leaks and constantly clean motor oil. It is unfortunate that i have had to go through the stress of all of this because of a design flaw that nissan is unable to remedy.
