Nissan Titan owners have reported 3 problems related to noises during shifting (under the power train category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Nissan Titan based on all problems reported for the Titan.
Loud rattle/grind/chatter from the transmission area that is clearly heard from inside the cabin during up and down shifts at random times. Most commonly occurs when the engine is being used at high rpm up to 40 mph then the accelerator is released allowing the 4-5 and 5-6 shift to occur at light load. The grind is most noticeable on the 4-5 up-shift. This happens in all driving conditions, towing, or unloaded. Some facts: rattles in almost any gear. Heard from the front of the tranny area. Happens when going from a high rpm situation to a low rpm situation. Does it in both regular and tow modes. Seems to happen more when the transmission is hot. Only happens when driving (not revving in neutral). Happens both when I drive or my spouse drives. Seems to happen when the throttle is partial or less than half way. Some shifts are very hard and some shifts are very soft. The noise comes and goes and can be very loud or very quiet. It coincides exactly when the shift occurs. The transmission does not appear to be slipping. The noise is abnormal as I drove other identical vehicles on the dealer lot and could not duplicate the problem. Attached is the entire saga with Nissan and at present Nissan has decided to do nothing to resolve the issue. I have been dealing with this issue since the truck was new 500 miles.

Bad transmission, slipping and erratic shift, at dealership 30 days still no answer about fixing it. Power steering too hard and makes noise when turning turbo is making noise. This is diesel engine with diesel exhaust fluid, not working properly, doesn't burn any def, it is requirement on all diesel engines to have this exhaust cleaner.

I don't need to press the brake to put in or out of gear. Actually I don't even need the key turned on. Manual shift/ tow haul button doesn't work . Front end makes all sorts of clunking noise. Altough every thing seems tight eats a evap sensors and brakes. 105k miles still driving daily.
