I here a lot that the auto transmission on the Frontera are the weak point of the car... If we just understand how to treat them, and fix them...
If I tow.. I use 3rd most of the time.. And during the tow, I do shift up and down the gears.. recommendations are to fit a trans cooler..
If you do some heavy 4x4. Change the oil and filter.. 1 hr job... Or at least ever 70,000
The box isn't hard to rebuild.. I've never done a auto box before... Just rebuilt an auto out of a 2001.. Down loaded a doc on rebuilding one.. Full service kits are easy to get.. And have a service manual I down loaded..
