I jacked my 2001 Nissan Quest off the ground to change the strutes.
Which was done without a problem, but when I lowered the vehicle
it will not drive in any gear, and in all the gears it is in, all it does is
grind from the transmission.
I checked the fliuds and linkage, and both are fine. I am about to change
the trans fliud and filter, what I am needing to know is what else it could
be? Thanks.

Here are the steps to install the transmission cooling line with a rubber seal on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT:
Raise the vehicle: Use a jack and jack stands to lift the front of the car off the ground.
Locate the transmission cooler lines: The transmission cooler lines are located on the passenger side of the vehicle near the front of the transmission.
Remove the old transmission cooling line: Use a wrench to loosen the fitting where the old transmission cooling line connects to the transmission. Slide the fitting away from the transmission and let the old line drain.
Install the new transmission cooling line: Insert the new transmission cooling line into the fitting on the transmission. Make sure the rubber seal is securely seated.
Tighten the fitting: Use a wrench to tighten the fitting on the transmission. Be careful not to overtighten, as this could damage the fitting or the new line.
Lower the vehicle: Use the jack to lower the vehicle back down to the ground.
Check for leaks: Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes. Check for leaks around the fitting on the transmission and around the rubber seal on the new line.
If you need additional assistance or want to see a video tutorial, I would recommend searching for videos on YouTube that specifically cover the installation of transmission cooling lines on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am GT.
Hi. You will need a shop setting to remove this transmission. On a 2015 Nissan Quest the vehicle is raised with a two post car lift. The A/C charge is reclaimed, coolant is drained, brake calipers and struts are disconnected, steering column, motor and transmission mounts are disconnected, any necessary hoses, EVAP tubes and fuel lines and all related cables and harness connections. Raise the minivan up and place either multiple jack stands or heavy duty roll around table underneath the main chassis support frame. The Engine, transmission, steering and suspension get lowered down onto the chosen table or stands and the main mounting bolts are removed. Finally the vehicle is carefully raised separating the entire drivetrain from the vehicle. A cherry picker (engine hoist) is then used to remove and separate the engine and transmission. I hope this helps. Please let me know if there is something else you need answered. GoodLuck.
Well, there's a Pin that holds the transmission gears in place when you've got the car in park. This Pin blocks the gearbox from moving... either the pin isn't fully engaging the gearbox, or it's just broken.
If it's not engaging, it's just a question of adjusting the shifter linkage. That can be fixed relatively quickly.
However, the accompanying grinding sounds really make it sound like it's broken.
Get a piece of 2x4 and a floor jack. Support the bottom of the engine with the 2x4 under the oil pan. Slightly raise the jack untill slight tension is felt. Loosen the top motor mout bolts and remove the mount. Install the new mount lower the jack and retighten the mount. Do the same for the rear or bottom mounts witch ever applies. HTH
If you have a way to get it off the ground (i.e. ramps) then its a snap. First, go buy the proper part, drive it up on the ramps and set the parking brake. Then look for any cables and wire harnesses that are connected to the transmission itself and disconnect them, remembering where they go. Next is to have a floor jack under the transmission to hold it while you loosen and then take the transmission mount bolts out. Lower the transmission down and change the clutch plates. Follow the same procedure in reverse and it shouldn't take you too long to have it back on the road with a new clutch done by you!
sounds like your automatic transmission is failed and grinding itself up. How often have you had the transmission fluid changed? You are going to have to REPLACE the transmission and not even try to repair it. Once they start grinding things up , they are not repairable.
