Hi all,
I have a Nissan Pathfinder R51 2013
A few months ago while on the beach i had my Pathfinder in 4Low and manual mode. The transmission (in manual mode) kept changing up gears at approx 2200-2300 rpm. At the time I figured this was normal and must have been a protection setting (Novice 4wd'er)
On the weekend I did a 2day 4wd course with a professional company in Perth. Using my own vehicle. The first day was in sand and the next in the bush.
The first day was in the sand, I engaged 4wd low and used manual mode. I noticed that the gears would change up automatically at approx 2200-2300 rpm. This would happen while working through soft flat sand and on big inclines.
The second day was in bush terrain.
Again in 4wd low and manual mode when doing climbs under load and in sports mode the Pathfinder would up gear by its self at the revs mentioned above. Although It didn't do it on level ground or downhill, I suspect due to having more traction in this terrain.
I was out with 13 other 4wds and everyone said this is weird behaviour when manual mode is selected.
Anyone else heard of this or had this happen to them? Also what's the best way to attack this issue?
Thanks
Nick
