Hey guys, i havent been on here in ages! been busy and what not, so here it goes.

cars been extremely good behaved for the last year or so. Servicing it on time, everything .

Untill last night.

Was driving fine, until it felt like the auto was being a C**t first and second arent too bad. Thirds ok, 4th is not holding. i dont know how to explain it.

is this telling me the Auto is Rooted and its time for a manual conversion? or am i going bananas and need to fully flush the auto . I did service it not long ago

Any help would be great.

Btw : In overdrive it drives somewhat ok.

im kind of nervous and worried.


A very unsettled willzgtst.

Cars not running any mods. apart from pod filter.

could be any of a lot of things wrong with it. .(even the convertor) very good idea on the flush but before you do that id be checking the filter screen after you drop off the pan, depending on what / how much crud you find on the screen will be the deciding factor as to wether its f*kd or not

Can you be more specific with the symptoms?

"4th is not holding" - does that mean it feels like the internal clutches are slipping/flaring, or is the shifting going haywire eg going up and down in gear and power constantly dropping off.

Check the throttle position sensor. If it goes faulty the shifting goes haywire.

Ok basically up to third is ok , once in fourth as soon as I push the accelerator down it kicks back but it feels like it's slipping if I let go of the accelerator slight it drops the revs , I have been driving in overdrive as that's the only way it's drivable ATM .

probably the best idea is to replace it with a good secondhand unit with warranty, they are going pretty cheap.(rebuilds are over $2000) . . while things are apart i suggest you get a tranmission cooler fitted

all running smooth and fine. dump pipe was put in so thats a bonus also. u can really tell the difference between healthy autos and unhealthy , this gearbox changes gears where it should. The other one would wait for me the lever the accelerator and if i didnt, it would slip and take its time.

Thanks for all the support fellas! :action-smiley-069:

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
