Detailed Description

TC Remanufacturing DA59 is an OE-style automatic transmission torque converter for 1999-2004 Nissan Frontier, 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra, 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2002-2003 INFINITI QX4 applications. The lock-up design helps maintain efficient drivability in the supported transmissions, while the low stall setup and specified hub, pilot, and mounting dimensions support proper fitment in the listed Nissan and INFINITI platforms. If you are replacing a worn torque converter on a Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, or Nissan Pathfinder, DA59 provides the dimensional and code-specific match needed for the application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Shudder or slipping during torque converter lock-up
• Delayed engagement after shifting into gear
• Excessive transmission heat from a worn converter
• Vibration or drivability issues tied to converter wear
• Incorrect fitment from a mismatched converter diameter, spline count, or pilot dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the transmission code and converter codes before installation, especially on Nissan Frontier, Nissan Xterra, Nissan Pathfinder, and INFINITI QX4 models. Confirm the 20-spline hub, 4-pad mounting pattern, 9.062-inch bolt circle, 10mm x 1.25 thread size, and pilot dimensions against the original unit to ensure proper alignment and engagement. Flush the transmission cooler and inspect related hard parts before installing the replacement converter.

Quality Assurance

TC Remanufacturing supplies remanufactured transmission components for service replacement applications. DA59 is built to match the listed fitment and dimensional specifications for the supported Nissan and INFINITI vehicles.
