Book Excerpt: Nissan & Datsun Pick-up Trucks 1980-1997, Pathfinder 1987-1995 Repair Manual GENERAL INFORMATION

The Datsun/Nissan pick-up truck and Pathfinder vehicles are conventional front engine/rear wheel drive layout with four-wheel drive (4WD) available on some models. The inline four-cylinder or V6 engines used in these vehicles are equipped with either a carburetor or throttle body fuel injection. The engine drives the rear wheels through either a four or five-speed manual or automatic transmission via a driveshaft and solid rear axle. On 4WD models, a transfer case and driveshaft are used to drive the front wheels through independent driveaxles. Front suspension is independent, featuring torsion bars, with power-assisted steering available on later models. Leaf springs are used in the rear on pick-up models, while Pathfinders have coil springs. Brakes are power assisted discs at the front and self-adjusting drum or discs at the rear.
