All About Complete Auto Transmissions for the Nissan Frontier
Transmissions like a 2007 Nissan Frontier transmission are designed to take the power coming from the engine and transfer it to the drive wheels so the Nissan moves. Here is what you should know about buying a Nissan Frontier transmission on eBay.
What transmission drive types are on a Nissan Frontier?There are four different drive types for transmissions used by Nissan Frontier vehicles. AWD, 4WD, FWD, and RWD. Here is a brief overview of the differences between the four different drive types. The transmissions can either be manual or automatic ones.
- AWD: All-wheel-drive transmissions have a center differential. The differential serves as the gearbox to take power coming from the engine so it can send it to the axles. A computer, with the help of sensors, then determines how much power will go to each wheel. An all-wheel-drive transmission is always on and cannot be adjusted or turned off.
- 4WD: Four-wheel-drive transmissions are primarily used on Frontiers for off-roading and other driving situations where you may need to send extra torque to the wheels to get through mud and other debris. Four-wheel drive transmissions can be set to a high or low gear setting. The four-wheel-drive setting can also be turned off so you can use the Frontier in a two-wheel-drive setting to conserve fuel.
- FWD: Front-wheel-drive means the power from the engine is going to the front axle and the front wheels are serving as the drive wheels.
- RWD: Instead of the power going to the front axle, it goes to the rear axle instead. The back wheels then serve as the drive wheels.
There are three choices you can make: buy a new, used, or refurbished transmission.
- New: A new transmission is good because it has not been used at all and there has not been any mileage put on it.
- Refurbished: Refurbished transmissions are a way to get an affordable 2001 Nissan Frontier transmission at a lower cost. The benefit of a rebuilt transmission is that it has been taken apart and the worn parts have been replaced.
- Used: A used 2000 Nissan Frontier transmission is your lowest-cost option.
