I have a 2007 Nissan Xterra with no reverse. At first I was looking to do a rebuild myself, but I just can't find the time. So, instead, I was looking to pick one up from a scrap yard and drop in. It seems Nissan played some really weird games with this transmission, and I can't find a straight answer anywhere (including Nissan Xterra forums). Can anyone here help?
It appears Nissan used basically the same 5 speed auto transmission from 2005-2015 in the Xterra, and maybe the Frontier. They all look the same on the outside anyways...but it appears there are differences in the valve body and ECU?
2005-2008 may be interchangeable?
2005-2007, and 2007-2008 interchangeable?
2009-2015 interchangeable?
I have also read you can interchange any of them if you keep your original valve body and ECU.
Any insight? On the xterra forum the response I got was basically that nobody knows.
