So I finally got things back on track and started to notice on my way home that when going into o/d it rumbles and when disengaging when passing someone it will rumble. Took it to the garage today they pulled the stick and said it smells burnt. It was brown too and it had bubbles in it but from what I was told it was changed at the dealer years ago and there is no dye in it or so I was told was that a load of bogus?
Well problem is I was going to get it changed and they turned me down because they cant do a flush on them when the fluid looks bad. What will happen if I do it somewhere else anyway? Id like to keep this x as a mud truck but right now I'm working a part time job and am trying to go into tech school but I cant have it breaking down on me. So worst case scenario for me is to sell it which would suck about a good 40% of my money had went into it as well as birthday gifts for it etc. I have 3 ideas. 1 being to buy a junked v6 xterra same year etc and swap everything over and make it a manual which I know is hard. Flywheel,harness,computer,and probably gauges would have to be swapped. 2 being to get it flushed and hope for the best. Or 3 sell it as my down payment for a used titan 4x4 or 04+ xterra 4x4.
Its a 2000 auto v6 4x4 173k miles on it. Shifts fine at times a little sloppy but no slipping and if it is would be unnoticeable and even when wot shifts firm.
