⚠️ VIN VERIFICATION REQUIRED
PLEASE SEND YOUR 17-DIGIT VIN BEFORE ORDERING.
Nissan used several CVT configurations and production changes throughout the 2014–2017 Pathfinder range.
We will verify your:
- VIN
- Model year
- Production date
- 3.5L V6 engine
- AWD drivetrain
- Original transmission code
- OEM transmission number
DO NOT ORDER BASED ONLY ON YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL.
⚠️ 2017 MODEL YEAR PRODUCTION SPLIT
The 2017 Pathfinder has an important transmission production split.
Earlier production:
31020-3WX2E / 3WX2E
Later production:
31020-3WX4D, superseded by 31020-3WX5E
Nissan catalog data places the split around July 2016 production, so 2017 VIN verification is mandatory.
