Nissan Skyline R31 1989 Question

[scrimple101]

Hello, i have a 1989 Nissan Skyline, which is duel fuel and an automatic. My questions are: I snapped a bolt off the tray at the bottom of the automatic transmission pan and was wondering what to do. Is it expensive to get the @#*%$ out? and was wondering about the power shift, should that be on all the time? Thanks in advance. Rob.

I'd be ringing a trans place if your worried about the power shift.

As for the bolt, just drill it out, and heli-coil it. Easy. Or if you can drill it out without stuffing the thread, then it's even easier.

Does it leak with the broken bolt ?, if not, you may consider leaving it,

or you could drill it, tap it, or have you tried using a centre punch, and gently tap the side (off centre) to see if you can make it turn,

Powershift is designed for those times when you are towing or need to get up a hill or overtake. It won't huret leaving it on all the time, just means that it will shift later when your giving it some.

Your powershift locks out fourth gear (overdrive) and changes the shift points. You will use heaps more fuel if you run around with powershift on all the time.
