2001 Nissan Pathfinder Questions & Answers

  • What happens if I "ride" my Nissan's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Nissan Pathfinder? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your Pathfinder towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Pathfinder is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Pathfinder's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2001 Pathfinder’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Nissan's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Nissan Pathfinder transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Nissan Pathfinder can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Pathfinder ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

You might even experience transmission failure.
