hey guys

im new here. i just wanted to say that i have a 98 nissan altima. i got it back in may and it had 57k miles on it. then at 64k the transmission went out on it. i was wondering did anyone else have this problem?

Any idea what may have caused it to go out? Did you notice anything weird before it went out?

they told me metal somehow got in it. the car was fine then i was bring home my g/f and then suddenly i had only one gear. it wouldn't change out of first. the next day i got it to go into second and from then on first n second no problem but going into third it would just accelerate until i let off the gas then jump into third... never saw fourth...

oh yeah... thank god for the extended warranty.. it was only $90 instead of $2700!

That's awesome! So that's all they said? A piece of metal was in the transmission? Did they give you any details?

no other details than that..the guy was a moron... im trying not to have to bring it back there ever again except for oil changes.

Yeah, I wouldn't take it there either. Anyone who does work on my car should be able to explain what the problem was.
