Hi :)

[@SGTARTFUL]

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, Art Carter Manhein PA

[@elcastorgrande]

@@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.

[@davidjames666]

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

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.

[@woodysdrums8083]

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.

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.

Hey Scotty hope you have a great day! Also can you do a review on your cat? 😃

Suggestion to Scotty as the owner of an 07 GMC Sierra (Money Pit). Check the front drive shaft u-joints. Replaced the u-joints on mine and it's shifting much better than before around 153000 miles.

[@antoniomontana9430]

I have this same model of 2007 Silverado 1500 LT, but my 4WD shifter is an electronic wheel type of selector to the right of the steering wheel. 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.

[@DUBcars411]

4 wheel drive on dry pavement... oof

[@davidjames666]

change the fluid with amsoil, and put a neodymium magnet in the pan. it will fix itself.

[@williamsidis5489]

Signature series Amsoil is good for the direct injection also . It helps keep the valves clean with direct injection, but get ready for 100 dollar oil change with a quality filter . It is what it is .

[@davidjames666]

@@williamsidis5489 I was referring to Amsoil heavy duty high temperature transmission fluid. it’s specs exceed the standards

[@williamsidis5489]

@@davidjames666 Yes I know, but there is a period after the clutchs began to wear that changing transmission fluid is counter productive and flushing exacerbates the problem . 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.

My family and I must be really luck when it comes to GM trucks/SUV's (Tahoe's-Yukons). I have owned a 03 silverado 2500/05 GMC 2500/06 Silverado (148,000before I sold it) and currently 2018 silverado-Wife 2003Tahoe/2006 Tahoe (head on collision in 2011 saved her life-totaled) now a 2016 Yukon. Only real issue was water pump on 03 Tahoe went out with 68k, freak thing. Otherwise I have had no major or expensive problems with any of our GM's. 90% family (cattle ranchers/blue collar peeps) own Silverados/Tahoes, never any major issues, super reliable with many miles. I hear Scotty (love you bro) slam GM, however, the trucks and SUV's with the 5.7's and 5.3's will run for 200k plus k miles and still purr. Change your oil q5k!!

[@kitcat2559]

My 99 Silverado is reaching 260k and still shifts without a issue, it burns oil a bit and has a uneven idle but I prefer that than finding the extra 5 missing neutrals

[@erosmontesinos9646]

Hey scotty if you find the problem please tell us because that happened to my dads Land Rover and it would happen in hot days in the cold the transmission would shift smoothly

[@aaronplatt8714]

Mine always runs at that same indicated temp. I think the gauge actually just shows cold/normal/hot. They just put the numbers on it to make it look more realistic and “truck like” rather than C and H

[@mph5896]

Never checked the fluid level/condition? If the fluid isn't filled with clutch material, I would drop the pan and put a filter in it. Refill with a quality synthetic fluid. Reset taps shift and see how it does. Customer might want to start saving for a trans. That should be a 6l80e, its going to be a pricey rebuild. Like $3k range.

[@gabrielq.906]

My Nissan started shifting like crap when it got too operating temp and I thought my transmission was going out but the fluid was clean and fresh. It ended up being the accelerator position and idle control wasnt calibrated perfectly. Recalibrated both of them and haven't had an issue since. It had me pulling my hair out for months. Btw no fault codes

Temps running higher on the silverado needs a thermostat. Also something to take into account it could be a bad ujoint if he's shifting from reverse to a gear.

When the Starship Enterprise has engine problems I bet Scotty calls you up no matter where in the Galaxy he happens to be, so keep your stash of dilithium crystals fresh.......

[@marckemp9955]

GM used to make good transmissions. I will probably never know why GM said the 4l60e was an improvement over the 700r4(4l60). It was not. 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.
