Thank you so much for the video, Show you a trick, you don’t have to drop subframe to have access the transfer case , just disconnect 14mm steering shaft bolt under dash, loosen six subframe bolts in the back, don’t touch two front subframe bolts, remove driver side tranny mount bolts, passenger side 18mm mount bolt, let subframe hang, jack up tranny as high as you can and support it with jack stand, remove bank 1 exhaust manifold, etc, then you can let transfer case slip out
From what I've seen you gotta have a ton of patience no rush job. You did very well.
First, great editing. Makes me think I need to step up my game...but only so much I can do with iMovie. Second, great work on the transfer case. I just had to have my Infiniti QX60 transfer case rebuilt as it developed a bad bearing at 107K miles. Fluid burned on a long trip. After watching this I'm surprised I didn't get charged more...
Wonderful video my brother keep up the good work.
I am amazed at how quickly you work. You kill that flat rate money!!!
I try my best. lol.. Thank you.
Nice look inside the process and parts
Great job man! also great film editing, thanks, whit this i can succesfuly change seals of transfer
MAD SKILLZ BRUH !!!!! Excellent vid & narration. You make it look easy !! Good thing to have all those different size seal setting "tools" & the parts lift @ the end [....dangit.....not a job for the "shadetree"].
When can you COME VISIT ?? The "farm boss" is a reeaal good cook !!
Very well made video ! Thank you!
your welcome.
Thanks for your video, better lighting next time. Thanks again.
good job bro
Excellent video pal I'm having problems with my qx60 but I think I need to replace it cus ni oil came out when I remove the drain plug and now only drives forward in reverse it gets stuck
Thanks for the info
Amazing video, it help me a lot with my Qx60 but i am still having a leak, did i over fill oil or does the 1st outer large seal and the inner tiny gear seal have to touch
Great job, we are doing the same job at the moment. Looks like there is couple fill plugs on the transfer case, can you clarify which one to use? one on the driver side mid transfer case? or the one on the passenger side high portion of the transfer case? Thank you
Great video and very informative, I have a 2014 nissan pathfinder and its leaking where you said "never leak" output drive shaft seal I assume I dont need to take transfer case out to do that ... probably just drop the drive shaft and remove and install output drive shaft seal ?
Nice work, do I need to pull out the axles to remove the transfer case from a 2009 rogue. These look like the same set up
Great video!!! Can you tell where is filling plug front transfer case located on 2015 Nissan Pathfinder? Thanks
Very professional thank you for uploading this video. Do you think I could do this in my garage and 4 jack stands? It's a 2014 Murano
Its possible. Not ideal, but if you dont mind the hard work, it can be done. Just make sure the vehicle is high off the ground. You will have to remove the subframe.
Awesome video brother... What about the rear transfer case, not sure if is call transfer case too. My 2015 AWD Murano is leaking in the rear. Do you have a video for the rear. Or any body out the can point me in the right direction. Again... Awesome video brother.
I have a 2019 with the same leak. Taking it in to Nissan this week for it. Hopefully they does thorough a job as you have. Can't imagine the cost of this if it weren't under warranty.
The small hole between the 2 seals on the transmission side of the transfers case is for drainage when a leak happens. Leaks out the small hole and out the larger hole where the transfer case mates to the transmission. The type of fluid leaking out the bottom indicates which seal is leaking. It will either be CVT fluid or transfers case fluid. The transfer case fluid is 80w90 fluid which will be thicker than the transmission(CVT) fluid. The CVT fluid is NOT red, more like light brown. Either way the transfer case needs to be resealed if it's leaking.
.
Is the oil that is sealed by the right axle seal cvt oil and outer seals on passengers side gear oil from the tcase?
Thank you for your excellent video. I'm stuck having to have this repair performed on my Murano. I'm wondering if you think the new seal addresses the larger problem that led to the failed seal in the first place?
You mean Nissan. No that seal wont fix Nissan as a company. But i have not had to do this job twice. So you should be ok.
@@Autofixpals how long does this usually take and how much should it cost? if you can give me a range that would be great. thank you!
Hello... did the seals come in a kit or did u have to purchase individual? Looking for a kit for my 03 Murano . If have n e links would much appreciated it. Nice vid very informative...💪🏼
If I got a transmission replaced at the nissan dealer and my gearbox or axle seal started leaking after the job could it be the did something to it??
How did u support the engine. Or did you have to at all?
Will they do an alignment after putting it all back together?
Hey have u ever heard of them having a hole punched threw them !? Have a 2014 rogue and garage Is saying it has a hole punched threw it
Friend.. if I only need to replace the rear output shaft seal. I can just remove the drive shaft and the. Just remove the back transfer cases and replace that one seal in the back?
I have a question. If the transfer case is leaking is there any reason to pull the transmission?
What's the name of that first seal on the passenger side were the axle go ????
looks like a big job lol... my 2014 nissan pathfinder seems like leaking. if I dont fix it how often should I fill the transfer case oil ? or when will the oil all drip out ?
What suspension do you recommend for 09 altima 2.5? Shocks and struts? Oem or what good aftermarket
you can go aftermarket with the Rear shocks, you should be fine. Nissan Front struts last a VERY long time before they start leaking. However a good aftermarket quick strut might be the way to go if you dont plan on keeping the car for another 100k mile. I dont know of too many people having issues with monroe OEspectrum struts. I think the best person to ask about aftermarket struts is Eric of south main auto. he deals with a lot of aftermarket parts and i am sure has experience with most brands.
good video. but for the outer seal and the seal in the carrier you DO NOT have to pull the transfer case. with a lift is a 1000X easier but it can be done on the ground in a few hours with minimal tool.
absolutely. But you better not tell Nissan that. lmao 🤣 Unfortunately only half the time is it the carrier seal thats leaking alone. The other half is the seals between the Trans and case. some you win some you don't. I would hate to do this without a lift. however it is doable.
How long did this whole job take?
I see you’re a Nissan technician. I work at a Nissan dealer too and I had just done a sub assembly on a 14 pathfinder.. I had left the axle and transfer case on passenger side in the car and now that I had started the vehicle I have a leak of cvt fluid coming out of the transfer case where the axle goes into.. but now I don’t have the leak anymore now that’s it’s warmed and fluid is adjusted.. I don’t know if I should perform this bulletin of resealing transfer case. What are your thoughts?
clean it good. Drive it hard, check for leaks, if there is no leaks ship it. If you do the job under warranty the labor will overlap and you will get paid peanuts for the job... I have seen this before and i am not exactly sure what happened but i cleaned it up set the fluid level and the leak was gone. Car has not returned for a leak.
Good luck.
I ended up eating it and doing it for free... when I took apart the transfer case, I did see the seal was damaged as indicated in the bulletin. Thank you for the video, it helped me out a lot putting it back together
Nice work.
How mucho do you charge por something like this
Seems like alot of work removing the whole entire frame
Nissan sucks at that there is not room to work on their cars
its about a 12 hour job.
@@Autofixpals warranty only paid 7.4 including replacing the bearing inside.... we don't that a lot.. .however after awhile it will leak again.. no matter how to put seal right.. solution replacing whole transfer case there must be a problem with the housing.
I have a Infiniti 2014 qx60, which is almost identical to pathfinder. Its transfer case leaks and fluid spills on the rear shaft. The dealer told me the transfer case is not serviceable and ask >$5200 for a replacement. Is the one you fixed similar to the one on 2014 pathfinder? Much appreciated!
Same exact thing on my 2014 Infiniti qx60. I started noticing burning smell right after 60k service which included transfer case service. The dealer told me that transfer case fluid is leaking at the axle seal and that it has to be replaced as per Infiniti service bulletin. They quoted around 5k for this repair. What did you end up doing?
@@agoogleuser9978 Any update? My 2013 jx35 just started
What if I don’t fix what’s going to cause me a problem in the future
dealer told me that my infiniti qx60 transfer case needs a reseal, and will cost $2500. I found a shop who can do it for cheaper, but the dealer wants to charge $600 for the part kit. Parts needed just the rubber seals, right? $600 sounds rediculous to me.
I need to replace transfer case input passenger side seal on my 2015 Nissan Pathfinder S 4x4 and the dealer keeps giving my the wrong part even with the vin. Someone told me they don’t sell just the passenger said. The left and the back one yes but the the passenger. I pulled the part and it has a maker and a part number but I can’t find anything online. NOK XF1435F. Anyone else have this problem?
Do you apply any lubricant to the seals & O-rings before they mate up to their sealing surface?
o-rings yes, the seals come with lube on them already.
What State and city are you located.
Does anyone know if there is an output seal on the transmission side? or is it just sealed by the o-ring and seals on the transfer case?
Yes, there is a seal on the output from the CVT to the transfer case.
How to take this off? There is 2 bolt on left side next to transmission there is no way to unscrewing any idea please???
i was able to get to all the bolts pretty easy. You can use a ratcheting wrench on the 2 bolts that are facing the driver side of the vehicle. These are the wrenches that i use everyday for this type of stuff amzn.to/2DqyaHq they are fantastic.
@@Autofixpalsthank you so much
Hey bro,my 2010 Maxima was driving fine,and yesterday while speeding around 60mph,all of a sound car stop accelerating ,i pulled over and car doesnt move neither on D or R ,and its making this whining kind of noise that wasnt there before.transmission did not have any sign of failure , no engine light,noise or power problem, i got it towed ,the mechanic said most likely the chain inside is broken,i m getting a used transmission installed ,( i have no other choice),Could this problem be caused by something else?Thanks in advance
I Nissan Reman is about 2200usd. Dont get a Used one. no its just bad luck. Make sure your mechanic knows how to set the fluid level correctly, make sure he clears the learned values in the TCM, and see if there is any TCM updates available for your vehicle...
Just bad luck if you dont have any leaks, probably a failed pressure control solenoid.
@@Autofixpals unfortunately the remanufactured one is the one failed on me, after a 1.5 years,cant really offered to pay for a new one ,i m gonna try to trade it in or sell it if i can,thanks again appreciate your help
@@Autofixpals i meant to say cant afford to pay a new one
Renault=Nissan=JUNK.
Get a toyota/ Lexus
How much is this job cost?
You don't gotta drop the subframe to do this repair you can just remove the rear motor mount to get access to those 2 mounting bolts on the tranny side and youll have it out
I am about to do it myself, so you’re telling me I don’t have to drop subframe and how about the exhaust ?
If you try to pause his video at exactly 29:12 you will see that there isn’t enough room to pull transfer case out of transmission since catalytic converter is like 0,5” away from it and there’s a small rod like 1” coming out of transfer case that plugs into transmission…
so how did you do it
Did you actually ever do it yourself or you watched this video and came to conclusion 😂
And if you have to remove headers to move catalytic converter out the way then the easiest way is by dropping subframe
Loose bolts it's all aluminum it swells and skrinks over time it loosens the bolts
Man, I should have watched this video first. I ended up removing the entire steering rack to get that rear engine mount out (like ProDemand/Mitchell says) but I sure do wish I had just dropped the subframe.... So much less dicking around on re-assembly....
WHY ARE THEY LEAKING, 2016 NISSAN ROGUE 2ND TIME THE DEALER DO THIS WORK, CHINESE SEAL OR WHAT?
3rd time do it yourself and besides 1mm tiny seal made in China also use some red silicone gasket maker then it will never leak again
They want you to come back that’s how they make $$$ it’s U.S.A. all about $$$
NONE OF THE BOLTS WERE PROPERLY TORQUED all of them tightened by the impact gun….
To much back ground noise. Other than not bad at all 👍
You know you dont have to drop the whole subframe but the back side. just hang it
How many miles on it.
about 20k
Auto Fix Pal Thanks.
Covered under warranty right?
@@Mabeylater293 yes it was covered under warranty.
You take the whole sub frame off M
Ofcourse its an EASY job if the subframe and suspension are already out of the way. LOL
dislike to nissan. mine jx35 is leaking too but don't when.
tHIS SURELY IS NOT A MURANO 2012+
Than what is it? It's clearly a 2017 murano
