So Im driving down the street soing about 40-45 when my car suddenly starts to slow down while IM still hiiting the gas--I thought it was maybe cuz I was low on gas and thought nothing of it.....

A week or two later IM on the expway going 80 and the car drops to 40 the same as b4 with a full tank of gas.....

I just took it to a shop and found out that the transmission needs to be rebuilt--$750 to have it done :eek:

Its a 98 with 45,000 miles!!!-if U can bellieve it

Any suggestions or comments at all would really help.....:(

Thats a little easier said than done........:(
5spd swap with phantom grip LSD or level ten auto would be ideal. Too bad they cost soo much...

No my warranty was for 3yrs-36,000 miles not 5 :( ....trust me I nearly cried when I saw my papers...

Addicted-its been a long time. Tell me wut happened wit your ride??
yeah i know been so busy with work and traveling havent been near a computer to long to keep up but i should be getting into it
my ride lets see 58,000 miles later started having problems going up hills didnt really think about it to much thought maybe was just a blockage somwhere , anyways ii started looking into a little further discovered my cat went bad and nissan is refusing to change even thought it is under a 8 year 80,00 mile garuntee the say becasue of the CAi it isnt covered luckily for me my family owns an auto part shop a universal fit nicely unitl i can get after Nissan to put an oem on!
anyways so i started having more problems my car would drop to low levels of speed on highways i mean like 65 to like 30 out of no where and some other instances like you im not covered under warraty anymore
so we took apart the tranny yesterday and ill know more in the next day what is the true problem is:rolleyes:

ALL NISSANS COME STANDARD WITH A 3YEAR/36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER AND A 5YEAR/60,000 DRIVETRAIN. I GUARANTEE!!!!!! I work at a Nissan dealer. Your transmission IS covered under the 5year/60,000 warranty. I would hate to see you not get this replaced for free when you DO have this coming to you.

OMG!!!! I hope U know wut your talking about cuz IM about to start crying again :p .. Im going to hit the dealer this Sat. and get a for sure answer. All I did was check my papers and I saw the 3yr bump to bump but Maybe I just overlooked the 5yr drivetrain....

OH SH** U might be right about this!!! Damn this would be $700 in my pocket insted of in sum one elses...

OH yeah Addicted it def. sounds like the same thing that happen to me let me know wut U come up with....
yeah bro,

check your owners manual....it says it in there...

i have the 5 year 60k warr. on mine.......read
Your 3 Year/ 36,000 mile it bumper to bumper you have a
5/60,000 or 6/60,000 on power train. Make Nissan fix it..
so I went to the Nissan dealer and spoke with the service guy who was surpisingly cool about everything. He told me I have to first bring the car in during the week and leave it for the day.

They are going to have to pull the tranny and determine whether or not it was my fault it went bad-clutch is burned,oil,etc.....

I have to sign a $300 agreement that I will not have to pay as long as the tranny went bad on its own..If they find that it was due to my driving or wuteva then I lose that $$$ unless I have the tranny replaced by them....then it gets added to the actual cost of the job...

SO I dunnno Im a little nervous that they might try to blame it on me. Especially since I got the car all supped up--they might try extra hard to blame me for it...But I know my driving is'nt hard enuff to ruin it (I HOPE)

That the shittiest thing about warrenties. They always have some kind of loop-hole. I wouldnt trust a dealership as far as i can throw them. Bastards..... Sorry i have had very bad experiences with the dealership in my town, plus the next town over from here. They have fooked me a few times. 1st beacuse of the paint, very long story. Then when my window switch went bad. WARRENTY COVERED IT BUT THEY WANTED 120 dedectable to fix the damn thing, And the part only casts 80 dollars if that. Cause i am on my extended warrenty now. Witch is crap also. Grrrrrrrrrr
Yeah I hate even being at the dealer--Im expecting the worse but IM ready to go to war for this.....:mad:
Hey MP2050, you shouldn't have a hard time finding a JapSpec tranny around here for that same $300.00 agreement fee you are about to pay. Where are you located in Miami?
IM in Miami Lakes/Hialeah..My boy over jus told me the same thing... I just worry about buying a used tranny even if it is Jap Spec...
yo but wuts a jap spec tranny compared to a U.S.

I know the JDM manual tranny has better gear ratios than the US version...don't know about the auto though.
I live in miami lakes as well MP2050 and if you want, I could stop by my peeps warehouse and see if he got one in stock. If he does would you be interested? If so email me and I'll shoot you my #. You're right "barnoun" Japspec manual trannies does have better ratios than the U.S. models. As far as autos are concerned, at least they work and some have fairly low mileage on them.
hey boost boy, I live in orlando (not that far of a trip) does your friend ever get in engines like BBs or such?
