I run a transmission shop. I see this happen more with Nissan than any other manufacturer. Second is GM products. Rarely a Toyota. It is a preventable problem. Simply buy a good quality transmission cooler and bypass the radiator completely. I am not the only shop owner in the world. others may...

Generally a harsh downshift is a worn low and reverse clutch drum clearance issue. It's common because it's on in 1st gear and reverse only. It's just a sign that the clutch clearance is not perfect and is from age. It can go like that for years. Eventually reverse will begin to slip a little...

DK327 Can you verify the year and model for me? can you duplicate this without touching the brake pedal? is it every time or most of the time or always doing this? IM just trying to make sure it is actually "always"

I change my fluid every 2 years or 30k miles no need to flush if you do that.

I hung the bumper today, I am almost finished Today I hung the bumper, I thought this day would never come. It has been since November that my 4R got totaled. I loved it so much I bought a 2000 taco just to get me around while I bring the 4R back to life. you can see how bad it was in my...

totally doable Yes I would certainly fix that Look at my album and see how bad my wife tore mine up. I only spent about 900.00 to fix mine so yours should not be that bad. Mine was totaled, but I love these 4R's so much I brought her back from the dead. you can do it brother, go for it!
