Auuuuuuugh!!!
CURSE YOU TRANNY GODS!!
They've struck! I have reverse, 1st & 2nd gears, no other drive in any gear. You'd think that 4 cars in the driveway would be insurance against car failures. Well I'm batting .250. Of the cars in my driveway, only my Pinto is currently operational.

that sucks let me know if i can help.
also though this may be shallow and childish, or maybe it's the fact that it's 2:30 am, but "tranny gods" made me laugh for a bit

I have experienced tranny failures myself. Because we didn't have the right tools to take out the tranny easily, I required assistance of 3 other persons.
With an organized dissection procedure and parts labeling, the process was extremely easy. The parts are 100% off the Pathfinder, even the belt! Each disc costed me around $3 and the belt was around $20 (if I still remember correctly). I dunno if I can suggest that, or even you are or a friend of yours is handy enough to help you out, I think you can pull it successfully, yourself. Patience and organization is crucial. Again, the biggest challenge is removing the heavyweight tranny from the car I just wished I could have a done a How-To of my process, it would have helped a lot...

Thanks y'all.
It started last week, 4th gear wouldn't hold power under 2000rpm. I religiously drove in 3rd anyways, so I never REALLY thought much of it. Then friday I was on the four-lane coming back from Bristol, and it'd just barely hold power over 80mph, this time I thought about it & drove on home in 3rd @ 65. Saturday, my wife drove it to town, again in 3rd. We got in it later that evening & 3rd was gone, she said it acted sorta strange, but her being nervous about any cars, I figured I'd see when we left. Well I saw!! & REALLY didn't like what I saw. Fluid is full & fairly clean, looks to be a year or so old. No burnt smells. Hocrest, the Leggy was bitten by the EJ25 HG gods.

By “third is gone”, do you mean that there is now no drive at all in third and presumably in fourth as well?

Exactly Trevor. Third, and fourth act like neutral. If you let off the gas & let the revs match normal for the road speed then step back onto the pedal, the trans will "try" to pull, but it's like a weak clutch, and it just slips.

Speaking of parts, that was my parts guy....
When God made Huck he broke the mold. The world would be a LOT better if God would make a few more just like him! Now me, on the other hand God broke the mold again, but he forgot to take me out first
