2013-2014 INFINITI/Nissan JX35, QX60, Pathfinder 3.5L AWD/4WD – Remanufactured Automatic Trans

Description

Engineered for all-wheel crossover passenger transport, Nissan Pathfinder 2013-2014 Remanufactured Transmission units handle 3.5L VQ35DE engine torque in AWD and 4WD crossover chassis. This remanufactured CVT automatic transaxle manages 260 continuous horsepower, 240 lb-ft maximum torque, and an engine ceiling of 6500 RPM while maintaining secondary pulley clamping hydraulic line pressure of 850 PSI.

A reinforced die-cast aluminum transaxle case encases oversized primary and secondary variable diameter pulleys linked by a high-tensile multi-element steel push chain. The oil pump housing receives an upgraded steel flow control valve sleeve to stop bore wear under continuous all-wheel drive load. Sump capacity holds 10.8 quarts of Nissan NS-3 CVT fluid. Total dry weight measures 225 lbs, equipped with an integrated transfer drive gear and balanced torque converter.

Key Features of Nissan Pathfinder

Fleet operators choose to buy Nissan Pathfinder 2013-2014 remanufactured transmission units to restore refined all-wheel drive acceleration and stop high-torque belt slip. Factory reconditioning replaces all critical wear items and reinforces hydraulic circuits to guarantee dependable torque transfer under maximum crossover payloads.

• High-tensile steel push chain with heavy-duty element links withstands 240 lb-ft V6 engine torque.
• Upgraded pump flow control valve and sleeve stop hydraulic pressure drops inside the main pump housing.
• 10.8-quart fluid capacity stabilizes transaxle operating temperatures under continuous all-wheel drive hauling.
• 2013-2014 Pathfinder replacement valve body features tested linear control solenoids to eliminate shift hesitation.
• Pathfinder 2013-2014 torque converter package features reinforced clutch linings to stop low-speed shudder.
• Stepless variable ratio range provides seamless transition from 2.413:1 launch down to 0.383:1 overdrive.
• 850 PSI secondary clamping pressure locks pulley sheaves tight to prevent drive chain slippage.

AWD V6 Pulley Thermal Dynamics

An internal variable displacement pump maintains hydraulic clamping pressures between 150 and 850 PSI, holding fluid sump temperatures within 165°F to 195°F. Input torque absorption handles 240 lb-ft at 4400 RPM without chain slippage. The stepless pulley ratio ranges from 2.413:1 at launch to 0.383:1 in overdrive, keeping the 3.5L V6 engine inside its optimal fuel efficiency zone. An external transaxle cooler loop sheds excess heat through dedicated fluid lines, protecting pulley sheave surfaces and internal needle bearings from thermal distress.

AWD Transfer Case Spline Interface

Dual 29-spline differential output hubs link straight with factory front axles and the AWD transfer case unit. Internal differential side gear backlash is held within 0.0025 inches on dial indicators, stopping front-wheel and transfer case driveline vibration. Bell housing dowel sleeves align the transaxle case square against the engine block face, preserving input shaft centerlines under hard acceleration.

Dynamometer Spin Testing Maintenance Schedule

Every transaxle undergoes computerized dynamometer spin testing under simulated road load resistance to calibrate solenoid duty cycles, verify secondary clamping pressures, and evaluate forward clutch hold. This CVT transaxle is not engineered for nitrous-assisted street racing, extreme off-road rock crawling, or operations using non-approved universal automatic transmission fluid without proper CVT ratings.

• Check transmission fluid level and deterioration counter data using scan tools every 30 operating days.
• Drain and refill approved Nissan NS-3 CVT synthetic fluid every 30,000 miles.
• Flush external transmission fluid cooler circuits every 12 months to prevent particulate blockage.

Transaxle Crate Manifest Warranty Inclusions

A 3-Year unlimited mileage warranty protects commercial fleet buyers against premature mechanical and hydraulic defects. Each sturdy wooden transport crate holds the complete remanufactured automatic transaxle, a balanced lockup torque converter, installation paperwork, cooler flushing guidelines, and fluid specification documentation tags specifying approved CVT fluid.
