Description
What happens to an unprotected Nissan Patrol Y63 transmission?
Without protection, your transmission is exposed to serious damage on rough tracks.
- Rock strikes can crack the housing: One hit can cause costly repairs
- Stump contact causes bending: Off-road obstacles hit directly underneath
- Mud and debris buildup: Leads to heat stress and wear
- Salt and corrosion damage: Especially near coastal driving areas
- Long-term drivetrain failure: Small hits turn into major breakdowns
