Where does antifreeze go in automatic transmission fluid?
by Chris Weis. It may seem like a rather remote possibility, but engine coolant, or anti-freeze can get into automatic transmission fluid. The temperature of transmission fluid is regulated inside the engine cooling system. The fluid passes through a small tank inside the engine’s radiator.
Why does my Nissan Pathfinder have Engine Lock?
Frequent failure of timing chain is another problem that is common with Nissan pathfinder. A lost timing chain could lead to engine lock. If the car is in motion when the fault occurs, it could lead to a loss of power steering or engine propulsion. When the timing chain is faulty, it needs to be replaced as fast as possible.
