      Scotty I have a 2008 Pathfinder with about 176,000 miles. Just got told that the cooling line cracked/leaked/broke forget exactly my mechanic said it fried my computer and transmission. I have been watching your videos for a few months now and I know you have said that Nissan transmissions are junk. My mechanic said the same thing but it is paid for and in this state of the country I really can’t afford a car payment. What do you think this is going to cost me if I pull the trigger on it. ($4000.00)
      Thanks in advance,

      @elcastorgrande Před 3 lety +2

      @@sloughsharkseh3307 I think he did. He made it clear that mechanical wear will not trip trouble codes, because the software writers (employed by the manufacturers) have written the parameters for conditions that will trip codes sufficiently wide, so that substandard performance has to be really substandard before any scantool, no matter how expensive, will actually show that a code-tripping condition exists. That's computer-ese for "they all do that." In other words, garbage in equals garbage out.

      utilizing “new technology” like adding a neodmndym magnet inside the pan makes a HUGE difference!! new fluid cleans, and those micro steel particles floating around in the high pressure fluid can settle in some very bad places. the super magnet catches absolutely everything, and it will never break free and accumulate anywhere. the metal paste will go right past any filter + it keeps the filter and flow free. use a 1 x 3/4 x 1/4 magnet

I'm the original owner, it was a new vehicle, I took it to the dealer, they test drive it and after I explained, the mechanic knew exactly what I was talking about. He said it was just a quirk of this trans and there was no issue and gmc just hadn't bothered to fix it. 5 years later the truck is running beautifully.

      This is exactly what happens in my 09 with 189k. Only when it’s cold out does it shift rough form 1-2. I think the computer must change something with the shift parameters when it’s cold. Once the vehicle gets up to temp and I restart the truck it shifts normal. When the temp is warmer outside it shifts just fine. Even from a cold start. It’s weird.

    Shift solenoids can cause intermittent issues as they are coils the windings break down the core insulation breaks down and they can be stressed thermally. Wire connections both power and grounds can be intermittent as they stress from age and fatigue.. The way to diagnose mechanical wear is to put pressure gauges in the line taps and check.

It has aaaaaalways shifted hard, about 65% of the time from 1-2nd. I recently had the transmission fully rebuilt, falsely diagnosed due to droning noise from the exhaust; 3 mechanics later... It was upgraded with heavy duty clutch and ring kits, etc. Still runs great. 181,000m. Still has that jerk 1st - 2nd. Just sayin.

      I have a brand new 2021 Sierra with 1k miles and when I start it up in the morning it always shifts rough from 1st to 2nd even after a I warm up the engine for a few min, but once the transmission warms up it shifts fine.

      My 09 Silverado shifts rough from 1-2 only when it’s cold. It has 189k. Once the engine and trans are up to temp I restart the truck and it shifts fine. When it’s warmer outside the truck shifts perfectly fine, even from a cold start. This leads me to believe the computer changes the shift parameters when it’s cold out.

I fix it with same WD40 never happened again for a more then a year until I sold the truck.

Needless to say, it's an old truck with over 195K miles on it and yes it does have a rough shift during hard acceleration, but it's a work truck and not my daily driver, so I'm OK with it as long as the transmission isn't slipping or the truck isn't losing acceleration power.

If trans fluid wasn't changed initially according to manufacture maintenance specifications. The trucks being used for towing and hard use in general would be more suspect of failing clutch material. I do agree if you use higher quality fluids initially ( or before too much wear or damage accur ),they will better protect and perhaps improve mileage.

They haven't made a really good transmission since the 350, 375B, and 400. It's pretty bad when the guy with the Ford 4r70w has a stronger trans than the typical 4l60e, LoL. I'd bet most Dodge A500 and 518's were better, and that's not saying much until about 99 when Dodge upgraded the internals. I'm not really a fan of any of them..from the factory. Reman with torrington internals & other premium parts, and then you have something.
