I bought a 2006 Nissan XTerra for $750 with a bad transmission. It didn't have the typical radiator cooler failure, but it sure was full of neutrals. Brand new fluid came out of the old transmission but it smelled completely burnt. A friend reached out to me and said I could have the 2wd transmission he had sitting in a corner if I paid the shipping. Now that it's here we're ready to do one of the easiest transmission swaps in the entire world, it only took 2 hours to have the old one out and the new one in.

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you...
Josh: "Did you put the starter back in?" LOL!
When Josh is on the case....sh1t gets done 😂
One of them lifts should just have Joshs name on it for all the cars you did in his shop😂
Maybe the lifts should be called Josh, Jake, Gabe, and Zach 😆
Aww... I miss seeing JR working together with his neighbours.
I farted
That’s his brother I thought ?
Indeed. The shop is cool and all, but miss the vibe of the home garage.
@@Zer0Fall3n no
Abidamn: agreed
"Did you put the starter back in!?"
Great to see Josh on the last few episodes!
Walmart has battery’s for $50, I bought one 3 years ago still working great and I swear they are the best batteries ever
Or Costco. Easily half price from Autozone, O:Reilly's, etc.
You must be in a warmer climate mine lasted a little more than a year
@@DocNo27
Costco has the replacement thing, too.... if you plan on keeping a car forever.
Love Josh's sarcasm.
I’ve watched his channel for a long time and Josh is a great friend to have in my opinion. He truly seems like a nice guy. And a great sense of humor.
O'Reilly's could afford the remodel because of WatchJRGo!
I always wanted one of these things. Such a good looking SUV.
I saw a prototype at a car show the year before they launched - picked my own up in '02 and still have it. Still looks and drives like new too. I'm never getting rid of it :)
I have a 2nd Gen that I love...there's certain things to watch out for, but aside from those issues (which were fixed by 2010-2015 models) they're a great vehicle. Mine is lifted on 33's with the rear gutted so I could add a pull out kitchen and sleeping area and storage. I drive it cross country from MN to Moab, UT a couple times a year. I go offroad camping on 4x4 trails on the way down there and back, and do some really epic scenic 4x4 trails while I'm down there camping for a couple weeks. Worth every penny and hour spent for the moments and memories it's given back to me.
I never cared for how the roof bumps up or the lump in the tailgate, but other than that, I agree
@@jacobyo99 On the 1st generation the roof bump with the roof rack made the profile of the truck!
Plus the rear seat is elevated a bit and leverages that bump. The few times I have been riding in the back and not driving it was nice and my nieces and nephews certainly appreciated the boost over the year.
The bulge in the back was Meh - I was always surprised it took them five years to put the logo in the middle of it.
Get 1.. they are fun to drive around
Ah, that priceless moment when you turn the key after finishing a big job, and...
NOTHING HAPPENS...
That moment really sucks lol
@@Julian-do7bv Yes, yes it does...
That lift saves a lot of work lying on the the floor. Me and My friends use to change out trans without the lift but we were all very young then I could not do that now. Thanks for the Video.
Always educational when you run into the unexpected. Just shows every brand has it's quirks. Thanks JRGo!
Love your enthusiasm in opening all these parts
Kool that Duncan got mentioned in this. He's a great guy and a great source for parts for the X! Way to go, Duncan (and JR, of course)! Now if I could only find another X I could afford!
After all these years I still love the look of the xterra. My sister had a beautiful one for about 2 months, I cant remember what exactly happened but the repair bill was so high that she just let it go.
Really enjoying your repair videos, you stay so calm when things don’t go right as planned. Peace
I’m glad you knew about the SMOD. I was going to comment on that and let you know. That is usually the reason those transmissions die.
That Xterra sounds like it has bad timing chain guides too. It’ll run a long time like that but it has that loud whine. It should not whine like that. The fix is replacing the timing chains and guides. There are updated parts available from Nissan that will prevent it from happening again.
Checked out the site - doesn't let you browse the site for parts. Instead, what it does is the NUMBER ONE thing I despise about parts sites - a form. A freaking FORM, people! I HATE forms. Well that didn't take long to strike out.
I'm getting ready to buy one of these so I'm watching all the videos on how to fix these. Very impressed with how eased it is to work on these vehicles. Unfortunately America seems to be going the way of Cuba so I want to make sure I have all the tools I need and a vehicle that I can do all the repairs on myself
Your channel progress so much ‼️ I wish you many blessings
Did the transmission line re-plumb 100k miles ago on my 2010 Xterra before a catastrophic failure...still going strong--knock on wood!
The best content on the interwebs! Thank you for the smiles you bring.
Every time you succeed in fixing a problem it feels like my own success. Good luck and wish you a lot of success.
I enjoy when you and Josh work together. The Rolls Smoke in a cramped garaged were some of the best video's. Stick around Josh!
Nice! The lift is in tune with the melody of the background music. Nice touch
Well it sounds like from the opening that this trans was a success. If you have issues down the road you have a ton of parts to swap around or if you want some extra content rebuild the old one on the bench and give it with the truck when you sell it. If not you'll have a ready to go backup. We rebuilt the 727 for my Dart on the driveway in front of it years ago just using a Atra transmission manual and a 50 dollar rebuild master kit plus a new pump and heavy duty cast band.
Thanks for the link, JR. Now I can order some of the parts I need for my 06 Pathfinder.
great job !! so happy to see Xterra run on its own ! just wish I had same size shop to work on my Xterra and do all the fixes I need to do on it lol but oh well.. outside it is for now thats where I work on it
It sure helps to have the right tools and those nice lifts. Another fine job done.
Welcome back JOSH!! Your unassuming, quiet, yet confident demeanor has been missed.
You are a blessed guy indeed John Ross. They say if you want to be successful to surround yourself with like minded people who are also successful. Be humble and grateful. Hope your family is well physically.
Whoop whoop! All the mid 2000s mom suvs for the win! Awesome work JR!!!
Mom?! Hell no.
@@pennywiseguy182 I’m just quoting the words of the man himself. Relax.
Thanks for the Nissan parts plug JR. Hoping I can get a running board for a 2013 Armada
Great job Josh and JR . Back on the Road !
Good for you man. I hope you get a lot of miles out of that X.
I have a 2008 S 4x4, second owner for 6 years now. It has a 3 inch lift with 33s, ARB bumper, Hard Core PA tire carrier, Baja design ditch lights, cali raised LED light bar and this summer a VK56 (Titan V8) goes in. You should look up the swap, its actually very easy and most of it bolts right up. Not a lot of people know how great these trucks are and how Nissan made a ton of stuff interchangeable.
Welcome back Josh! Shame you had to use wrench, was thinking only duct tape. Wow, free transmission, thanks Nissan Parts Puller.
My husband owns one of these, a 2006, it was the 4X4 of the year that year. What an awesome vehicle! Goes anywhere! We finally had to put some serious money into it, but it was wear and tear. 130K miles. Looks brand new. He gets offers all the time from people checking it out.
Nice to see Josh back on the channel!! Keep up the amazing job 👍
This is one of favorite Tubes. Thx for making them.
When I did trans lines on my one express van I adjusted the fluid level by feel. Filled it up close, drove it, it slipped some on the 1-2 so I added another half quart and then it was right on.
Happy to see you working on your own lift.
Cool to see Duncan Mills get shouted out on WatchJRGo! Dude is awesome for the Nissan community!
My 2009 has 360,000 miles and still runs great..i take very good care of it
And i call it the BEAST!
had a 2007 Pathfinder.. radiator did the Strawberry milkshake! I noticed your engine has the timing chain issue too! I can hear it whining. I drove mine 100k with that whine, so they do last as long as you keep the oil changed/clean.
I used to work at the Nissan Plant in Smyrna TN and got to put these together and drive the Manual transmissions, those were the BEST.
I love my '02 supercharged 5 speed 4x4 :)
I also got to tour that plant in 2003 - was a big group of us Xterra owners. Had a blast and everyone was super nice. That place was huge!
Hi JR. Great to see you back at fixing the cheap clunker. So many channels move on to super cars and stuff 99% of us never have in our garage. Stick with the cheap and flip it.. there are soo many out there. The shop is great but I was getting a bit tired of those videos. :-P
I did bypass on my truck and about 50K no problem. I do live in Canada so no super hot weather.
That lift is such a life saver and you have 4 colossal lift jealousy here, did you get the heating up and running yet 👍🏻
I couldn’t wait for this video! Nice job JR! What will be the next Nissan purchase?
So When I see you and Josh working together I just see seamless efficiency. I love watch you guys work. I'm sure Josh has plenty of work and life on his plate but you should really consider opening the shop together. I'm not sure I speak for everyone but I think this would do wonders for your youtube future. The channel has gotten away from things I normally find interest in. Although I still watch it and figure it will get back to which it seems to be. I honestly thought you and Josh broke up as well haha!. I will be honest and your interviews leave much to be desired. To much looking at the camera and repeated phrases etc. That's a nickpick and I know that's not something you normally do, but seems like something you will start incorporating into the channel.
You and Josh work well together. These are good vehicles.
Would like to see some detailing videos. Or maybe just the products you use. Curious about the ceramic coating. Hear good things and bad things about using it, and the prep work needed before applying. I know there’s lots of videos out there, but mainly just seem to be trying to sell something, and I feel like we can trust what you have to say. Love your videos. Peace
Hey, after the tranny swap you discovered a classic Xterra mystery problem...nothing when you turn the key. My daughter had an '05 that she loved but it developed the same no start issue. Two shops and then the Nissan dealer couldn't find/fix the problem. The dealer said it was fixed but the next morning it had the same problem. She got her money back from the dealer thankfully. She ended up trading the Xterra cuz she couldn't trust it. The Internet didn't offer a definitive answer. But JR found the fix. Way to go.
BTW - Love the vintage Hooker Headers shirt.
Hey John, just fyi, your audio level is always about 2x louder than every other YT video I watch. I always have to make a mad dash for the remote to turn it down. If you wouldn't mind lowering those levels a bit you would save me (and most likely others) from having to do that. Other than that, I love your channel. That new warehouse is awesome, Can't wait to see it finished.
Such a score .great Job on a great truck. This is the only channel I like the video before I watch it. Content is always good
You have a great chanel , I can't wait for the next built.
I thought of you this weekend when I was nearly killed by the hood on my 2004 GTO. It would hang for like a minute and then BAM! That's a heavy hood apparently.
Just picked up a manual 2012 Xterra from original owner for $4500 with 193K miles. Spent it's life in 6th gear going back and forth to Florida. So far a great truck. Same color as this one in the video.
Lying in bed in dublin Ireland at 05;45 waiting on this .........
I always wanted one of these for a project thanks for the video!
Awesome vid man! Would love to get you on the show and talk about your new truck! Might be able to help you with some of the info on these as I have owned a couple Xterra’s and frontier.
man I'm really enjoying these uploads! thanks for doing these!! maybe 2008 f150 in the future??? (thats what i drive)
There was a TV show called Cheers. Everytime a good customer came in everyone said "Norm" I think all the ORiley's guys are going to say JR! Everytime he walks in.
As soon as you said no start signal and I saw 0v on meter, Park switch issue popped into my mind... then a few secs later it fired right up..
I have the Frontier witch is basically the truck version of the X. 170.000 Miles has lasted the loan and shows no signs of letting up. Put an AllDogs lift on it. Single best new vehicle we have ever purchased. Trying to talk the wife into getting ready of her over priced POS Jeep Wrangler and getting the New Pro 4X Frontier after a year or two of production.
My car also has the foglights wires. Just pop the lights in and they work. I have a Toyota. Funny that manufactures already got them pre-wired.
Good for you man! But sheetz where do all of you guys find these great buys!!??!!! Hoovie and his Land Cruiser, and you and this Nissan!!!
When you are ready to sell the Xterra let me know. If the price is right I am interested for my teenagers' first car. Plus I am here in Wichita so no road trip.

Send him an email. Good choice for your kid's first car. Best of luck to you!
Push shift manually and it works. Yep, it is always the simple things that get you. Great that you didn’t need a CVT.
Should have got a pic of Josh chasing Jr in those shirts...
Just bought a 2006! Love these things. Have a 2000 & a 2002 as well lol
Good to see josh back again.
Worked on one of these before.. replaced the trans and everything. Ended up being the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) that was causing it to shift funny lol was so mad.
It does have a fog light harness, but you might need a new fog light switch under the steering wheel bcs the original one won't have fog lights on/off on it. I bypassed it on my Pathfinder with a different harness and switch for less than $15. At the time when I was doing this job, the switch itself was over $100.
Another one saved! Great job
Ah Duncan is on the Nissan Frontier forums often. Glad you got a good deal from him.
nice to see josh ,the quiet one back.nice job.
Wow , such a relaxing video. I needed that so much. thanks.
I swear on average your videos are 20-30% louder than anything else i watch. If I accidentally start a video before turning it down i get a sonic shockwave
When you pull the banjo bolts, legend says you hear 'You got a purty mouth'.
I know it’s a cheap flip, but if you ever snag another one of these or a 2nd gen frontier, I work for Alldogs Offroad in Lincoln, NE. We specialize in building lifts for the Nissans. Would be fun to work with a midwest YT channel!
Watching what you do to the Nissan!
Probe in the back of the meter is a new one on me. Nice tip.
I can hear the wining sound on your engine, it looks like the timing chain is going, good luck
i recommend changing out the timing chain that's causing that whine that's notorious on the vq40de😁
Yep... that whine is unmistakable. Definitely needs the secondary timing chain guides replaced.
I was about to say the same thing lol I did timing chain guides on two xterras they are a pain. Buy original parts. One truck I worked on had them fail with only 60K miles
Josh...great tutorials on this 2007 Xterra transmission swap..You covered every aspect of what I appear to face on my '05 Xterra 4x4. I bought it used 6 months ago, read all about the 'milkshake' issue with the tranny. Mine recently had a small trans leak last week, the check engine light went off so I pulled off and shut it down. I saw trans fluid dripping near the bell housing but I couldn't locate it.
Now I'm wondering if the trans has been contaminated by the radiator afterall. I havent seen any sign of strawberry milkshake but shifting has a sort of shutter and sometimes it slips into Neutral.. So, I have to ask...what would Josh do?
...a Jayhawk in Portland..my first car..(1970 Datsun 260Z coupe...I'm a Nissan fan to the end.
Wow, viewers who are actually helpful - Thanks, Nissan Parts Puller.
Ive never seen auto parts stores that have places where people are happy to be there!
That has an access cover to get to the converter bolts. I had a frontier at the shop that I had to torch a hole through both covers on the passenger side behind the reinforcement bracket to get to the converter bolts! 34k and they had loosened up. There was no correct way to get to them unless I pulled the transmission.
Great vid JR! Question: Why did you have to remove the starter?
I just got rid of a 2006 exterra.. it need engine work. I think it spun a bearing because it wouldn't turn over. Oh well now in the junk yard. The body was in great condition. It had about 100k miles. Loved that exterra,it was 4wd..I miss it.
Fixed for free...after I paid for shipping for a transmission that was given in exchange for advertising and used a lift and transmission Jack to install. So for most anyone else it would cost more and be harder to swap.
I just hate it when you do a massive repair job and it doesn't run because of something unforeseen like the shift position in this case. What a good feeling when it does purr and run.
I hear 👂 a noise when turn it on . It’s how humming noise . Like super chargers. Timing chain shoe are worn. There is a Service bulletin . To replace the shoe on secondary chains .
