A Bad Mixture!
Well Hello There Horsepower Lovers!!
The Sign Of Real Damage!
Oh yeah! It smells and looks like money! MONEY!
Laughs these oaks thought there was some minor issue.... turns out not... Turned out to be something hella major!
Now here's the catch, transmission is buggered up real good yeah but the fact that the oil looks like that means that the coolant of the motor also looks like that! All mixed up like a strawberry milkshake!
I'd say it looks yum yum!
Hectic stuff!
Here's The Problem.
Okay it might not be a problem, depending on how long this thing ran with the water filling up the transmission!
That is a valve body and it legitly sucks everything up! Now the valve body itself might not have gotten any damage at all but the solenoids, well they are for sure buggered up real good, I mean something that pulls electric current through it... Yeahp!
The pistons inside the valve body might also have taken a good knock, we don't know yet but by the looks of it this thing ran with this water for a very long time!
I'm pretty sure those pistons started getting score marks on the inside!
Must be!
Maybe, Maybe Not!
Now after taking a look at those magnets sticking to the pan I wont say there's steel or clutch linings out of the ordinary.
So maybe the solenoids has only started buggering around in this one, BUT we wont be able to re-use any of the clutch lining because from experience re-using them will only get them torn apart within a few days.
Something with the oil and water that makes the linings fall off the steel plates, then you've got some big shit!
Let's let that milkshake soak out a little more ey! Just a little more!
Does it look like your favourite one? Nah! Laughs! I have to admit I am not a fan of the feeling of mixed water and oil, it feels sticky and slimey! Dang I hate that feeling! Sitting here after work clean as a fiddle I can still feel that feeling on my fingers!
Yuck!
Shheeesssshhhh
Okay! It's evidently clear that this thing has been chilling in water for a very long time!
Remember that is stainless steel that got rusted up like that! HECTIC!
I don't think I've ever seen it this bad! Like ever!
They'll need a few drums aswell, I was hoping for it just to be the clutch plates but this! Oh this is bad! A thing to laugh about!
Just Me Admiring The Engineering!
Who would have thought that Nissan can do these things as well!
Okay but seriously they need some major practice on this level, they are trying to compete with companies that are miles ahead! First off they need to take the game over the 100k kilometers! This is the third Nissan we got that broke under 70k KM and it's also our third Nissan Navara.
That's bad right?

The rust on that drum, holy crap! Is that something you'll try to clean up or is it too deeply pitted? I do think that's one of the nastiest internal pieces I've seen. (I'm a parts guy for a Jeep dealership.)
Honestly, I'm not sure yet🤣 I've never seen one that bad... heck never seen anything like that, although I'll give it a polish and see what comes out. I think it might be pitted too deep or it might just be surface build up.
If it's pitted it might be weakened, no use then. All of those clutch lining have to be replaced and the solenoids I assume are all shorted.
Might be cheaper to replace the entire transmission, up to the client for this one. He wont be happy the pickup has less than 70000 kilometers on the clock
A JEEP guy! So you've seen your fair share of transmission parts ey 🤌😅
Ouch!
