Brother, you are definitely a surgeon. I know enough about cars to know I don’t know much. I still watched the whole video. You earned every penny of your fee.

I am doing this job literally tomorrow and i like to watch videos before hand it helps out alot.Great job

I am doing one of these now. I was about half way through getting it out and couldn't figure out what to do with those tranny mounts. This answered my question. Pull the subframe. Thank you!

Hey mate, very insightful watching someone else pull a tranny out of a Pathfinder. I too am the R&R guy at a transmission shop here in Australia. I’ve done 3-4 now (one of which was a Murano) I too found the RH axle seized in the carrier bearing. I don’t have an air hammer, so proceeded to unbolt the carrier bearing with the axle. I left the rear exhaust manifold attached and just dropped the cat beneath it. I also have removed the battery and ECU/TCM each time, which I won’t be doing next time. Thank you again for the insight and tips!

I really appreciated this video, not a lot of info online regarding the CVT replacement. I left the passenger axle and transfer case attached to the engine as someone else here mentioned. Also I was able to leave exhaust manifold attached. Did this on stands in my home garage. Thanks for a great video!

This is painful to watch. I only do my oil and spark plugs. May the Lord bless you brothers who do this for us.

Yanni from Clearwater the best mechanic ever I've seen to do transmission removal on Nissan pop finder

Thanks for the great video. The main thing I learned is that I am NOT going to try and do this myself. LOL

looks like I won't be doing this it my driveway LOL. great video thank you

I’ve pulled a couple Saab transmissions and they’re interesting. The transmission is in the engine oil pan to you have to pull the engine.

And the best video ever

I like how you do this job very clean job Can a used transmission fm the junkyard work in my 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

What is up with these Pathfinder CVTs? Im looking at one that had replaced a little more than year ago(think he did a used one with 1 yr warranty) and its out ago 3 months out of warranty so he is selling cheap instead of replacing it again. Assuming he got a used one last time since only cane with a yr warranty? Does that sound right? And did Nissan solve any problems they had with the cvts so if i install a new one it should last?

Do you think a 2020 pathfinder CVT will fit into a 2015? i need mine replaced after a leak drained the entire transmission and has been clunking shuddering and jerking like crazy

I have a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder and the transmission has a hard jerking when the transmission shifts out from 1st to 2nd and then it drives pretty well until you stop and take off again any ideas what could be causing it to do that

If you could show what the inside of the transmission and what it could be cause the issues. I do appreciate you doing this.

Hey how’s it going I got a quick question. I got a 2014 pathfinder 3.5 4x4 with a bad transmission if I get a used one also 2014 will it need to be programmed?

310C0-3WX6B is that the part# and does the torque converter come with the kit? 2014 qx60

Where you bough the transmission from? How do program the transmission tcu.?

@DoingStuffwithDylan, Hey man, question for you, do you need to "time" the flex plate to the torque converter when putting it in?

Is the new transmission plug and play, or do you need to reset calibration data?

Hey fam awesome video i was thinking bout doing this swap myself but upon further review 😂 aka your video I've checked my ego and changed my mind. How long is the swap out tho? And where are you located

This video is thorough enough for me to ask…how much is the labor?

Are the remanufactured transmissions better or do they have the same issues?

I just dropped my qx60 off today to see if the transmission is going. We are easy on it but it sometimes doesn’t want to go when on a hill, when you hit the gas to go. I hope the shop my car is at knows what they are in for and know how to program. I don’t mind a lil >$6k. Hopefully they can do that with a new trans. Where do you get your trans from. Awesome work

how to know when is the problem the transfer case 2014 nissan pathfinder

Hi quick question! Is a used transmission plug and play or does it also have to be reprogramed?? Thanks!

How much does a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder sv transmission cost?

This is pretty similar to a Nissan Murano AWD as well. I've never thought to take the exhaust manifold off before. I was always afraid of breaking bolts off so I've stayed away from that. Have you ever broken exhaust manifold bolts off in the engine when doing these transmission swaps?

Hey Dylan! My name is Destiny. I have a few questions that I would like to ask you. I have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder and I’m just all over the place! This my only car and I’m having issues with it and of course it’s the CVT transmission. I would definitely like to get some answers from you if possible.

I bought Pathfinder 2016 150 k miles, so it's better to sell this car? Or can you give advice how to live with this CVT?

You couldn’t remove transmission along with the Transfer case together and then separate them once it’s on the ground that way you avoid extra work on exhaust manifold… ?

Any chance of doing this with out a shop lift?(diy) They are charging 7k to do this where I live.

Just had to turn the passenger wheel to engage axle splines, then turn the driveshaft to engage the transfer case splines while keeping cvt in the correct orientation.

Alldata says to drop engine and trans with cross-member all at once. how long did it take you to do it this way instead? i like your way better, honestly.

How much should I charge for labor

How much does it cost for removal and installation?

Is the 2014 like the 2013

How much does it cost to replace one

Buen travajos. Good job

My pathfinder shakes at 20 to 30 mph what could it be I fell a little wheel shake at 70 mph

What's the costs of replacing that type of transmission on a pathfinder?

Where is you shot location?

Super

where is your shop location?

Were you located at?

How much you charge for this

what is the total cost?

My vehicle Nissan Pathfinder 2014 Now too much jerking and sounds Mechanic told CVT problems 😢

I would have taken the bearing support bracket bolts out and take it out with the axle.

where are you located?

I left the case and right axle in the car. no need to remove manifold

Leonardo da Vinci make make a same video for the note 4 by 4 regular pop finder

Those passenger axle brackets are the biggest piles of garbage. You can’t pull it out with the axle either cause of the dowels behind it. There’s no saving both axle and bracket, it’s only one or the other.

😮😮😮

Remove the cv axle together with the bracket!!!

Amazing video. I have seen people removing engine+transmission in service mode (Front radiator support removed), e.g. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-01moP2XYVX8.html&ab_channel=GeneralMechanic. Which method do you think is better (especially for someone working without a lift)?

The customer pays. Regardless the service has been done on they're car, sorry but the customer benefits at the end and the worker still have to get paid for getting it done.

These vehicles are engineered bad.

Hey I just replaced my transmission and transfer case everything is back together but it’s not moving, I heard the tcm has to be programmed before the car moves

Is the 2017 pathfinder 3.5L v6 4wd transmission removal same as this video?
