What kind of transmission does a Nissan Frontier have?
There was a highly capable off road version called the Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, and each model could be spec’d with the 5-speed Nissan RE5R05A transmission. Unfortunately, the little Datsun’s cooling system had a design flaw that often led to early transmission failure. There’s also several more gearbox related issues that can drain your wallet.
What causes a Nissan Frontier to slip on the upshift?
Two more common Nissan Frontier transmission problems are slipping on the 4th-5th upshift, and rather abrupt 2nd-3rd shifts. The first issue can usually be traced to a bad shift solenoid, worn transmission bands, or even using the wrong kind of transmission fluid (the viscosity and chemical makeup varies between the different types of ATF).
When did the Nissan Frontier pickup truck come out?
Nissan has been selling small pickup trucks in America since 1959 (a Navy veteran named Richard McCutcheon bought the very first one from a dealer in San Diego), and they’ve definitely learned a thing-or-two along the way. The D40 Nissan Frontier was launched for the 2005 model year, and it’s every bit of a shrunken fullsize truck.
What causes a Nissan Frontier transmission to overheat?
Heat is the natural enemy of your Nissan RE5R05A transmission, and it increases every time you tow/haul heavy loads, or drive in environments like traffic or the mountains. The stock cooling system isn’t capable of removing this excess heat, so the transmission will overheat just like an engine.
