Nissan frontier; truck pick up an vibration that turn into alot of jerking.t alk to the dealer about it,they said to check trans fluid to see if it had a strawberry color to it. If so the radiators was probably cracked and that coolant seep into the trans causing server trans failure. Have no warrenty.computer in trans is damage. Now valve body got to be replace with computer board along with all new clutches and radiator going to cost around 5 grand to fix.
