where abouts is the transmission oil cause i dont kno which one it is can anyone help

[noely1]

maybe check for fault codes?? might even just be a solenoid or somethingggg?

[timr32gts]

were would i look for those ???

[noely1]

umm usually if a code has been loggeed the check engine light will come on... there are some threads on here on how to check fault codes urselfff if your not to handy with that sort of stuff (its preety straight forward) the hardest bit is reading the codes lol... u cud get nissan to scan it for you and any fault codes that are logged will be found and the u can find a guide as to what each code number means somewhere on here... for example code 21 is ignition circuit i think (just as an example)

have a search around these threads but as i said usually if thers a fault code... the check engine light will come on man

hey took it for a drive and the engine light come on havnt seen it on b4 until then soo yeh

[timr32gts]

going to try check fault codes tomorrow morning but for easy reading what is happening is

Engine light is on

when stoped in D (Drive) when accelerate starts going reallly slow from 1000-2000 revs

When i put it in 1st accelerated as it normaly did and works fine

After accelerating in 1st i change it back to Drive and it works fine above 2000 revs and accelerates normal again.

On a hill stoped in drive when i go 2 take off it just revs and i don't move at all just sits there inless i put it in 1st i take off normal.

After cruising in drive when going up a hill at 60 it starts loosing power and drops to like 20 kms even tho i was accelerating just revs and just keeps going slower..

[noely1]

yeah man definatley something wrong.. as long as that engine light come on then you shouldnt have much problem with finding out what it exactly is if you can read the fault codes properly...

let us know when u get the fault codes mate

[timr32gts]

hey man took it for a drive 2 day engine light not on and it done it once then car has been fine for rest of the day so :S but leakin a bit of clear water /maybe rain water was raining other day off the firewall but seems 2 be going fine again

[noely1]

hmmm i'd probably still get them fault codes checked out... weird!!

[timr32gts]

yeah it wont hurt thanks for help tho drove it a bit tonight and worked perfect again some water driped out off it when i was parked on a hill so maybe some water got into some electrics or something no idea but its working fine again

[noely1]

ah well happy that its all working again lol.. hopefully keeps working fingers croseed

take it easyy

"I was accelerating just revs and just keeps going slower"

When the CEL light comes on it goes into limp mode..looses power,

but going on what you said above, sounds like your auto trans is on the way out.
