Hi,

I purchased a 1992 sentra GXE 5 speed with the 1.6L engine. Recently the transmission has been slipping under acceleration. I changed and flushed the transmission fluid. It was still in good condition with no particles in it. Does this sound like a clutch problem? Preasure plate?

I do not know very much about transmissions. If this is a clutch thing, what is ballpark cost at replacement with a good quality clutch. If it is a full tranny thing, what is ballpark cost for full replacement.

Your imput is greatly appreiciated as I want a little info. before heading to the transmission shop.

Thanks again,

Kris

Sounds like your clutch disc or pressure plate is worn. Generally, both are changed in a clutch job. If you have no mods on the engine, then the stock disc and PP are good. Probably run about $350-400 for the whole job. If the clutch pedal is stiff, then you should check the clutch cable before shelling out the cash. Do a search on how to adjust / check the cable, you'll find a lot of threads on that subject. Good luck!

I'm sure when they were removing the transmission they unpluged the vehicle speed sensor. Maybe it wasn't reconnected... I'm not sure. It could just be coincedence, but I've had plenty of cars handed back to me with another thing wrong with them after shelling out cash to have the original problem fixed. If don't have a picture of the VSS and it's snowing pretty good here now. Sorry I can't be of much help.
