Is is a manual or automatic?
What year vehicle?
How many miles?
Is the vehicle warmed up when you notice the symptom?
Is the fluid at the correct level?
Do you have non Nissan floor mats?
Are there any noises or vibrations that accompany the symptom?
If there is any other information you could provide it you help greatly.
Huh? :confuse:
I just gotta know - why did you ask about the floor mats?
2) after driving it for 30 minutes or so it will stop and won't start untill 1/2 hour or so later.
So is there any one with similar problem or with skills to know what is wrong with my sentra? any help will be apreciate.
Highly regards,
Paul
First off.... the horn doesnt work, it's not the fuse....
Anyone know what it might be???
And for my main question.... about 2 days ago.... everytime I would switch gears from park to reverse or to drive ...It would make a clunking noise and then it would jerk. Also when I stop at a stop sign or press the gas to go it makes the clunking noise. Well, Come to find out, there was barely any transmission fluid. We had to put two quarts just to fill it back up....
Do you think that the transmission is done for...
The clunking noises does mean it's the transmission right?
And what it the estimated price of a new Transmission?
I heard it was like 2,000 dollars, that seems a bit much, does that seem right?
Please help me out, maybe give me some advice. I'm only 18. And don't know much about cars....

Thank you

They weren't of much help either and told me it was normal. They are arranging a test drive with another 2008 6sp, but it apparently is taking them 2 weeks to hunt one down in Western Ohio.
In the meantime, I'm currently at 4,000 miles and the noise has returned to full volume. I have posted a video on YouTube:

At this point, I just want my money back since Nissan has let me down in a big way and I have no faith in their customer service.
To any potential buyers out there - beware!
It is becoming apparent Nissan USA stalling as much as they can so that I cannot defer to Ohio lemon laws. I have yet to get a call from a dealership for a test drive of another 2008 Sentra.
I happen to work with a few former Honda USA engineers and asked one to go for a test drive with me. He confirmed that this issue is not normal and should not happen with a new car. He also believes the issue is caused by the differential.
Automatic transmission w/ 4 cyl 1994 nissan sentra LE
check motor and trans mounts
or why it goes into limp home mode after it gets to temp
Is the fluid so used up that is no longer good, or do they just "dump and pump" assuming that I won't know any better?

Any ideas-Transmission flush already performed problem still exisitant!
Any suggestions/feedback on these issues would be greatly appreciated.
So, basically I'm dealing with high RPMs over 35mph and burning transmission fluid. I have no car knowledge, only know the fluids were burned b/c my brother took a look so if anyone could give me advice in layman's (girl) terms, I'd really appreciate it!
I'm broke and terrified this is the end of my car. Any help would be great!
Any ideas?
When first starting the car and driving, the gears change just fine. After warming up, the car seems to be stuck in a higher gear. The gears won't change. When I take off it feels like its not getting enough gas but after around 1800 rpm it picks up. Problem is the faster I go the higher the rpm. At 50 mph I am right around 3000 rpm. If I go faster it goes higher. I watch the tach as I accelerate and the rpm steadily increase and do not lower when the gears are supposed to change.
I tried dropping it into 2nd and 1st (low gears) manually as I drive but the rpm never changes. Then I put it in reverse and hit the gas and accelleration is just fine. I thought at first (because of sluggishness) it may be injectors or the MAS (replaced MAS and cleaned throttle body a few months ago) but after testing with the manual shifting and getting good acceleration in reverse I believe it is something with the tranny.
Any ideas on what it could be? Sensor? Linkage? Anything? Thanks for help.
I have a 1996 A/T Sentra 1.6 ECCS, when the gears shift from 1st to 2nd gear, it's like a car is bumping it on my rear?
Any ideas or comments?
Thanks! :sick:
