i was racing my friend in his sentra. And for some reason the car wouldn't go into fourth. It was past redline and the needle kept bouncing. I wasn't going past 95 so i don't know what is it by the way its a auto. please help me Oh and by the way i beat the sentra even without fourth gear.

I don't know check your spark plug or something. That's the only thing i can think of. BUt maybe it's something else.

 

[Sassan]

spark plug

check the linkages

 

[GOKU]

sounds like the synrcos in the tranny went ....not sure but check it out ...check the fluid level as well (tranny fluid)

 

[shabu]

your overdrive button was on right?

 

[Peterson]

your overdrive button was on right?

 

[kierandill]

your overdrive button was on right?

Me too.

Synchros? True if were a 5-speed - he never said.

SPARK PLUGS?! Maybe he should check his oil, too....

 

[spacecase]

okay my oil and tranny fluid level was fine. My overdrive button was on(which means the button wasn't pushed on)I was thinking it was a vacuum leak but i'm not too sure on that. Could it really be a spark plug. i thought if a spark plug was gone teh car would run rough? thanks guys. like i said it's a auto

does it go into fourth gear otherwise?

 

[GOKU]

oops my mistake ...didnt read he had a AUTO ....it was a long day

wait, that makes it sound like you are saying the button wasnt depressed. That means its not on. Which means u only had three gears. Are your power windows working by chance??

 

[Bigunitsnake]

4th gear is over rated I only use 1st.

 

[spacecase]

i don't have power windows.And i didn't push the overdrive button so it was on. Not lit up (OFF) any ideas?

 

[Lifeofshadoze]

umm, do u have a rdaio? Is that working ? i think u may have blown a fuse. do u notice a strange start? like u take it up to 2000 before u start to move?

 

[ALTIMADAN]

were you "manually" shifting evry gear? Either that did you by mistake have it in 3rd? also some advice, when your pegging the rev limiter, DONT keep hitting it repeatedly! Its not that smart of a thing to do.

 

[spacecase]

i always keep tehcar in normal drive and yes everything in my car work fine except for fourth gear. keep um coming

 

[Lifeofshadoze]

ok, try this right now

1.) you may have the overdrive button off. try it in both instances with it pushed in and otherwise.

2.) you may have blown a fuse. It prevented me from fourth gear myself at one point.

 

[ALTIMADAN]

just sell it and buy a 5 speed. never have to worry bout it again. (except when the clutch go's)

 

[Peterson]

Carnegee, lose the giant sig.

 

[spacecase]

okay so if i blew a fuse which fuse am i suppose to look for? any other suggestions? thanks
