WE OWN A 1998 NISSAN PATHFINDER AND FOR SOME REASON WE HAVE LOST OUR REVERSE BUT STILL HAVE OUR PARK, NEUTRAL AND DRIVE, AND 4 WHEEL DRIVE. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT COULD BE THE CLUTCH PACK THAT NEEDS REPLACED BUT THEN AFTER TALKING TO THE MECHANIC THAT INSPECTED IT FOR US HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT WE MIGHT BE LOOKING AT A NEW TRANSMISSION. IS THERE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS REASON FOR THIS TRUCK?
