Anybody got 1st gear pop out?

got a 5 speed tranny, and my 1st gear is popping out. sort of like the 5th gear popping out on the sr20 sentras and g20's. wondering if anybody else has this problem. never experienced it in my first 89 maxima, but i saved that tranny so i have an extra one i can put in.

1st sign of bearing failure. If I were you, I would avoid driving your car and fix that immediately. You need a rebuild. Do it now before you end up like me...

Save yourself a thousand dollars or so and heed my advice. Even if I'm wrong (but I'm probably not I've been through 3 trannys now) it's still worth it to you. Good luck.

yup. just curious... do you ever hear any drivetrain 'whine' when it's idling???

it's definitely a serious transmission problem and you need to have it looked at. There is no way to tell, without cracking the thing open and looking, how much it will cost so if someone quotes you something without doing an internal diagnostic then they are ripping you off. could be anywhere between $400 and $3200... !!
