Alright, when i drive my pathfinder after being warmed up, the transmission makes a buzz noise at the beginning of first and the end of the second gear. but it goes away after about 10 min along with the overdrive not wanting to kick in. the overdrive kicks in about 4 miles later. does anyone have a clue what this could be or does anyone have similar problems? i already had a flush done at Nissan. fluid level is ok.

OD doesn't lock up until your transmission comes to operating temp (NO JOKES KOUKI!)

As for the buzz, probably just making a heat shield rattle is my first guess.

the buzz only occurs when the truck is in gear. it's so odd.

yeah, fits with a heat shield. Only makes the resonation at a specific vibration. Usually requires the car to be under load to get the specific vibration.

Or it can be the transmission about to blow. I'd have a trust worthy mechanic drive it and give you an opinion.
