Hey Guys! My name is Alex and I have a 2007 Nissan Frontier Nismo
Off Road with the V6 4.0L and an automatic transmission 2wd.
So I was wondering if anyone knows/has done a manual transmission
swap with this generation frontier?
So here is what's going on with my truck. I left my friends house drove
down the street and turn around because I realized I forgotten
something. Turn the engine off ran inside and came right back out.
Engine was off for like 2 minutes. Started it up, put it in gear, and began
driving away. Immediately I knew something was wrong. It was
accelerating extremely slow until it got to about 30-35mph. After that
truck drove fine. I ended up reversing back to my friends house and
checking out the truck. I looked all around and the A/T ECU fuse was
blow. So put another one in and somehow barely made it to another
friends house just to say the night. The next morning I was late for work
because the car wouldn't accelerate properly. Once I got to work I
turned the car off and it hasn't ran since. That was middle of March. I
try to turn it on and it won't turn over. Just nothing it there. The light slip,
diff lock lights go on along with a few other ones except the MIL. The
wiper blades and heading turn on. I know it's a transmission problem
because on the dash the position of the transmission isn't there
(P,R,N,D,3,2,1). Oh and one more thing, I took the radiator cap off that
night at my friends house and didn't think of anything. It looked like
Strawberry Nesquick haha. Yes the infamous radiator failure happened
to me. Once I fix the radiator and rebuild the transmission should the
truck start right back up? Also is the truck in a safe mode because it
senses the pressure in the transmission isn't enough to slide the
planetary gear set into the correct position?
I am a beginning mechanic and would love any info anyone has on this
problem/project.

This may vbe covered under the extended warranty that Nissan put on this problem. If I remeber, it goes to something like 7 years/84,000 miles. If you are under that, see a dealer.

I have around 105,000 miles. Nissan sent me something in the mail around this time last year saying they were extending the warranty on the radiator assembly. There was a catch to it though, depending on your mileage depended your cost you had to pay up front. I would have had to put down $2,000 up front and depending what they fixed and the cost I may have been reimbursed my money or that was all I was going to have to pay. I felt that was a pretty shady of Nissan to do and not stand behind their vehicle. They took the easy way out of it. I could see that even at my local dealership because they were rude and tried to take advantage of me.

You should be fine with a new/rebuilt trans and rad. The
coolant shorts out the trans control unit causing all the
failures and warning lites.
