Description of the problem	About 61k miles the transmission felt like it was dragging while i was traveling at highway speed. When i got home i took it to the shop. The local shop dropped the pan and said the fluid was ok. The dragging didn't come back after a fluid change. However, later on, at highway i occasionally felt a vibration that stopped when i took my foot off the gas. I later got notice of an extended radiator warranty to 80k miles, but it didn't say anything about a transmission problem. The antifreeze never looked low when i checked the radiator, there was nothing in the driveway, so i put the sticker from the mail from nissan on the manual and put it back in the glove compartment. On saturday 6/8/2013 service engine light came on. At that time the car seemed to ? Drag?. It seemed to need to rev at higher rpm than usual to get going. At one point in stop and go traffic it wouldn't move forward for a minute, and i hit almost 4000 rpm before it moved forward, very sluggishly. I took it to the shop the next day, they told me to see a transmission shop, since a code "1754" came up, indicating a defective control unit within the transmission. The transmission shop told me i needed a radiator, control unit, since the defective radiator had contaminated the transmission with antifreeze.
