1. In the morning when i put the car in drive i have to wait almost 25 minutes and then slowly the car will move into drive going forward. the car will run fine all day?? 2. Does this car have avoltage regulator and is it built into the alternator?? These questions are for a 1994 Nissan pathfinder

Check transmission fluid level. If level is ok, may need new filter and tranny fluid.

I have that same prob sometimes I now just let it heat up its like it doesn't want to go or shift gears the waiting to let it heat up has helped me

Sorry to tell you this. You have an AXOD/AX4N Transmission and it is going bad on you. Soon, it is going to strand you on the road.

This Transmission is a Money Maker for the Mechanics and Transmission shops around the world.

Some people will put Lucas into their transmissions to extend the life of the Transmission but there are people who do that and cause it do DIE!!!! and I mean Immediately.

I am sorry to give you the bad news but at least it is Honest...

Sounds like the pump is going bad inside the transmission.

You could also have a leaking seal when the transmission heats up enough to expand and leak. That or if the electronics controlling the transmission are getting excessive resistance do to a short, that could also cause the problems you are describing.

The Trans is on it's way out. Your best bet is to get a used one. Usually when they go out that is it they wont move at all.

have your transfer box fixed,,,its busted?

The torque converter is why you cant move.If it were bands, first and reverse are the first to go. Not sure why its not starting. The 2 are unrelated.

When you release the parking brake, the handle goes down, but the cable in the casing is probably not moving. When you drive away, your parking brake is still set. The movement of the wheels against the brake shoes (or discs) produces heat pretty quickly and causes the brakes to release (at least enough so that there is no longer any contact between the brake shoe or disc and the brake drum or rotor).
The casing normally runs from the back of each hub to a point somewhere forward where they come close together so the brake handle can pull both brake cables at once. The casings could be lubbed, but that is something you probably want a garage to try to do (pretty messy, spraying lub into a casing with the cable is in it, and not a guaranteed solution unless both cables are disconnected, removing from the casings, and cleaned).
Probably the best thing to do to solve the problem in the short run is NOT to set the parking brake in very cold weather.
Hope this is helpful.

you need to have the fluid level in the trans checked. it's sounds like it's very low and you probably have a leak somewhere. do not continue to drive like this it will damage the trans. you cant top up the fluid on this yourself there is no accessable fill tube.
