Nissan Patrol 2001 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Nissan Patrol 2001 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

The transmission of my 2001 Nissan Patrol is thumping
You could be dealing with either a worn transmission itself (where wear inside the gearsets, shafts or torque converter has made something sloppy) or there’s something else in the driveline (such as a differential or universal joint) that has likewise allowed some looseness or play to enter the equation. In either of those cases, a thump or clunk during shifts can be a symptom. It feels worse under acceleration, as that’s when the maximum stress is on all those moving, meshing parts.
Sometimes, a transmission can be serviced and adjusted to get rid of thumping or banging during shifts. Take the car to a transmission specialist who will be familiar with this transmission and may be able to return it to civility.

Nissan Patrol 2001: It is a lemon
Yes, it is a well-known issue with the 3.0-litre turbo diesel, one that we have publicized in Carsguide a number of times. Nissan has in the past offered assistance to owners who have suffered this engine meltdown. I would suggest you present your case to Nissan and request they come to the party as they have done with other owners, and if that doesn't work consult your state government consumer affairs people.
Under the Australian Consumer Law introduced in January 2011, a consumer can request a refund or a replacement for persistent problems if the car doesn’t do the job it’s supposed to do.
