Stuck in gear not shifting?

Sounds like its slipping bad-Check fluid condition and level if okay it sounds like the revolution sensor is bad.

the car starts and runs fine. it won't shift, it seems to be stuck in third gear because when you start out there is no power until you get up to speed. once you hit about 60 mph the tach reads about 4000 rpm's and wont shift into the last high gear. it shifts into reverse fine. i replaced the transmission filter and fluid, it run fine for a little while. if you let the car sit over night it will shift fine for a bit then back to being stuck in that higher gear. can you give me some advice.
thank you,

As soon as I start driving the car, its already in third gear! I have a 2000 Nissan sentra too. I don't know whats wrong.

This sounds like an input shaft speed sensor is bad but to be sure lets run the codes here is a guide to help with the sensor location in the diagrams below.

Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

Car is throwing a code P0750. Staying in 3rd gear half the time. Reading this found be the connector on the transmission by the drivers tire or it is in need of a filter and transmission fluid change? Please help

have a trans guy scan this, it's a shift solenoid problem which could be clutch or seal failures as well as another valve body problem or wiring issue. a fluid change will probably not hel p this.

Hi there,

This is the trans oil temp sensor circuit, is the oil dirty and smelly? you may have slippage problems, i would get this checked out by a trans specialist ASAP.

one week ago my i was driving my car, an it struggle very badly to get into the next gear, but when it gets there it drives fine, could u please give me a straight answer on whats going on, when i took it to mechanic they told me i needed a new transmisson, but i dont believe it, because my car backs up fine the transmisson doesnt slip a all it just struggles to get to a next gear

When you say it struggles, do you mean the idle is raising beyond when it would normally shift? When it does shift does it shift hard?

How often was the fluid changed and what does the condition of it look like?

IS there a check engine light on?

I would not say the transmission is good because it only works in reverse corectly.

When I start off the car drives fine then out of the blue I have no power. It is like the car is in neutral. When I tap the gas the engine does not rev and it last about thirty to sixty seconds and then it pops back into a gear. I then it goes for a bit and dies if I put the transmission into reverse. This has happened to me twice. Now after ten minutes of in and out the car runs fine. It has been four days in between episodes. What is causing this? I have checked the fluid and it is good. Please help.

scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it.

I have a 02 Nissan sentra xe 1.8 auto with 97 thousand miles and while driving and deceleration the car will jerk like as if it was a standard trans and I let out on the clutch and pressed it again. What could be going wrong it

Do you have a check engine light and when was last tune-up?

Check the fuel pressure -start here

No the check engine lights are not on and the last service I had was about 500 miles ago. Had the oil and the air cleaner changed then the fuel injecters serviced

Have the fuel pressure checked and also the TPS and MAF sensors

My automatic wont shift into 3rd gear. Its fine when it goes into 1st and 2nd gear but as soon as it gets over 40mph it wont shift. the engine just revs and revs. I hear a clicking sound when it revs too. What could be the problem?

Check and test the throttle position and vehicle speed sensors-The computer uses these input signals from this sensors to comand and control the shifting solenoids to upshift/downshift/overdrive/lock-up

where exactly would i find the speed sensors at???

The VSS is located on rear of transaxle-Good Luck

transmission stuck in low gear,how do I fix?

have a trans guy look at it it can be a valve body problem or a govenor problem or both. If trans is damaged inside it will clog vavle body

thank you
