Lost overdrive in auto

[threedogs]

It may just require a service and fresh oil

[Avo]

yep ask me mate to price a gasket kit and filter and oil.try that first.then see wot wong after that.

[Avo]

I'd be dropping the fluid seeing as its been quite a while since last done.......... may or may not be the only issue though

I'm archiving this....might be the only good advice I ever receive from you clunkomonsta

[Clunk]

heres some more advice that I've been given............. even though others here have used other makes of dex III AT fluid, its best to stick with the Nissan Dmatic even though its not cheap. I got a quote from Wholesale Autos in Vic, for gasket and filter kit for around $40 if I recall.......... apparently theyve got a place over here as well, not sure where though.

[lhurley]

Just call or email wholesale about local suppliers. They could probably ship you one relatively quickly after Xmas anyways

[twisty]

@ twisty,nah mate stopped straight away and checkedsince no oil anywhere to be found.

Yeah, I did the same thing. Problem was the breather outlet is in the LH guard (GU1) and turned the dust to goo instead of leaking. Fun times ...

[Avo]

so I have been driving this around still only using drive and the tacho is jumping like it's on drugs,up and down all over the place...me thinks my car is very sick.......so I shall buy oil next week...Also got a filter from Nissan down here 30 bucks....mmmm good to know the spare parts bloke hey.

Who says, as long as the specs are equivalent or better than the Nissan Dmatic any brand of A/T fluid would be fine.

[Avo]

yeah,i asked what Nissan use here and they use dextron iii,they reckon..my head hurts

I think you might be to late for oil mate, mine would jump up and down just before it blew. Save your money on oil and get it looked at, she might be on her last legs
