I'm working on my niece's 1994 Sentra 1.6L Auto. I diagnosed the problem to be a stripped governor gear in the transmission (thanks to all of the help on this forum!).
The governor came right out (after fighting to get the cap off) and the gear was stripped. When I try to install a governor with a new gear, it won't go in. I can feel the gear teeth jut begin to engage but it will go no further. I tried tapping on the back of the governor with a plastic mallet but no luck. When it pull it back out, I can see that the teeth are very slightly burred from not meshing correctly. I put the car in gear & rocked it back & forth. I can see that this begins to turn the governor but no matter what, it won't fully seat.
Any suggestions?
sentra97gxe, sunnysentra, ufa, ishadoff, anyone?
Thanks in advance.
