Fading Reverse in Transmission

Hello,
I have a 1995 Pathfinder and was wondering if anyone has/had similar problems. Just recently when putting my vehical in reverse it delayed or seemed to slip no moving the SUV backward. The vehical was hot/warm from use. The fluid level seems to be O.K.

Any comments or suggestions, please send me a note. I would really like to know what others have come across with this problem.

Regards,

Pete

Pete,

I have a '91 Pathfinder and I have had similar problems with going into reverse. I have also had problems shifting from 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd. It's kind of like the vehicle momentarily pauses and searches for the correct gear.
I was just wondering how you made out. I am about to get the tranny and tranny cooler completely flushed and I am adding an auxiliary tranny cooler and filter in an attempt to save the transmission.
I hear that a rebuilt tranny or a remanufactured one is extremely expensive!

I'm curious as to what you found or what you did to remedy your situation...

I totally lost reverse and had to had the tranny rebuild. Outragious price to rebuild by a good tranny shop $2500. My suggestion do a search on the internet and find a warrentied rebuild unit. I think I found one for $1400 but you have to put it in yourself. I would do this next time. I sounds like your tranny is worn out so you maybe in for the same thing. I hope the fluid change works for you but I would also start doing some research on rebuilt trannys on the internet.
See ya,
Pete

My reverse went out on my automatic tranny also at around 120k miles. Had to get it rebuilt for $2500
