1997 Nissan Pickup XE review from North America
"Great truck except for a bad manual transmission"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only one problem so far... A bearing in the transmission went three days after I bought it at about 70,000 miles.
It will cost me $1,200 to fix.
General comments?
I love the truck, but crap, the transmission should not need rebuilding at 79,000 miles. The suspension is a little bouncy. It drives great other than than that. The four cylinder engine provides adequate power. The engine revs very smooth and quick. The brakes feel great. The steering is very responsive. Overall, there isn't a much better truck out there except for maybe the Toyota which is comparable.
