Just lost Reverse (and D1) on my 95 Pathfinder XE , fluid not burnt, seems to be a notorious Nissan non corrected early failure problem in Pathfinders and trucks for the year 1988 to 1995, due to overheating problem, apparently caused by the small size flow tubing that carries fluid from the transmission to the cooling radiator and/or the type of radiator.

Recommendation: Replace transmission, cooling hoses and rad or add a supplementary bypass cooler (not fin type).

Searching for RE4R01A trans, gives me several results for cars and trucks that uses the same, i.e. Nissan (PATHFINDER 2WD, MPV, 240SX, 300ZX, PICK-UP 2WD & 4WD), some Infiniti's, Subaru's, etc..

Are all theses RE4R01A trans interchangeable? Can I just look for a used replacement trans from any cars or trucks that make uses same, to fit in my Pathfinder (and more particurlarly from a 2WD Path)?

Thanks
