Transmission problem
1989 Other Nissan Models 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic unknow miles

Aside from slipping thie transmission in a 89 d21 truck will shake violently when i start acelerateing and will vibrate between first and second. after that its fine. another thing it'll do is if i put it in first on the colum then shift to second it acts much better but still the same problems occur when in drive. Now i dont want to take it to a tranny shop because i know most are not very honest. they;'ll tell me i need a new trans when i could be a torque converter or a pressure plate. things much less expensive to fix. What is wrong with this transmission?

Have you checked the transmission level? If the fluid level is low, it will cause the shifting problems. How long has it been since you change transmission fluid and filter? Try changing them first, if that does not corcect the problem you may need a rebuild.
