95 Pathfinder Transmission problem

[torino68]

Hello,

We have a 95 Pathfinder with an automatic transmission. The power steering belt came off and cut one of the transmission cooling lines. We lost most of the fluid. I have refilled it, but now it will not shift past 2cnd gear. Reverse works fine, fist and second work great, but that is it.

How difficult are these things to fix?
Do I need to do a complete rebuild?
Is there anything tricky about removing and reinstalling one of these?


Thanks for any advise.
Wes

sounds like your trans has went into limp mode nissans do this when the trans thinks there is a problem, the engine can go into safe mode or limp mode as well. i have had it get me home twice be glad u can reset it. it in the nissan service manuals i think

Thanks for the reply pathfinderfishy. I bought a Haynes repair manual today. There is no mention of the limp mode. As a matter of fact, there is very little mention of the automatic transmission at all. It goes as far as to tell you how to remove and replace one, but thats about it.

If someone has any information about the limp mode, and where I might get instruction to reset it I would be very appreciative.

Thank you
Wes
