My friend's 91 auto Pathfinder just clunked itself into immobility. The transmission is likely the culprit. Does anyone know if this is a common ailment to these trucks? If it is, is there anything that can be done to strengthen them or improve their reliability? We're planning to turn the truck into a more serious 4x4, but this is definitely disheartening. Left him stranded right in the left turn lane at Lougheed and Gaglardi!

Yes, the auto tranny is an issue. The solution is an external fluid cooler or a larger pan. Most do a n external cooler. Do a search on www.4x4parts.com for write-ups. This has been well covered.
