Replying to: rob5536 (Sep 21, 2009 6:28 am) No reverse is a bad sign and usually means internal wear or damage---but of course recheck your fluid levels and also make sure the linkage hasn't fallen off or isn't loose.   It's possible some valve is sticking but more likely forward clutch is not releasing or the sun shell is damaged.   By all means have the trouble codes read to see if there is a code present, but right offhand I'm not aware that this could be caused by electronics---but I don't know for sure.

The site is local to Knoxville, TN but for anyone in the area I think it would be a good resource. Hope this helps.

#2407 of 2409 Trans. issues, maybe by mzdrea Nov 22, 2009 (8:52 pm)
On the wya to work, my 1990 Nissan Pathfinder Automatic 4WD, was traveling uphill, and suddenly decided it wanted back downhill, and began rolling back. I quickly pulled to the side of the road, only to find my car would not drive or go in reverse. My truck has been well maintained, we are the 2nd owner it has just over 200k, (a lot, but it was spolied rotten).   We had gone to Scranton over the weekend, and noticed a smoke coming into the vehicle, we pulled over and checked under the vehicle, we didn't see anything. It was a light smoke, and we assumed it was the exhaust leak and cover the hole it was coming in. Now, I'm not so sure.   There is plenty of fluid in the truck, the oil was changed 2 days before the incident. We also noticed a slight grinding noise in the front drivers side, (we had the front end rebuilt last Nov). We have put som much money in the truck we are broke I don't want to get rid of it, so any advice would be helpful while we decide to have it towed to a shop or scraped.   Thanks Replies to this message: nritacco (Nov 27, 2009 7:16 am)
#2408 of 2409 97 K1500 4 wheel drive issue by nritacco Nov 27, 2009 (7:08 am)
Hi,   When I engage the 4-high (button on dash), the 4 -high light just flashes. I here the transfer case solenoid engaging. The 4 wheel drive never fully engages (whether I'm stopped or slowly rolling). I'm not sure how to trouble shoot this issue any further, and the Hanes manual gives zero details on this aspect of the truck.   Any help would be appreciated.   Thank you,   Nick

Replying to: mzdrea (Nov 22, 2009 8:52 pm) Hi,   I see you say there is "Plenty of fluid in the truck." Is that because you checked after the "incident," or because the oil was changed 2 days prior?   If you haven't already, I would pull the transmission dipstick and literally "Smell" the oil. Does it have a burnt smell to it? Then, engage the emergency brake, run the vehicle until it is warm, put the vehicle in Neutral, and check the transmission fluid level on the dipstick several times to make sure the fluid level is at its proper level.
