Tranny Failure (Misisng 1st gear)
For a whiel now my trany has been starting in second gear and now over revs and really doesent move anywhere...I was thinking about buying a re-built trany from kragen with a 35,000 mile warranty, or buying a used trany and installing it myself...I also considered going to trany shop but they charged 2,500...I got a 92 Maxima GXE Automatic...has anyone had this same problem? Howd you fix it? and what might the problem be? How can I fix it?

thats the motor, he want help with the trans. sounds to me the tranny needs an overhaul. the bands and clutches most likely need replacing and missing first gear sounds like quite an annoying problem. I have a manual so i dont have to worry about these problems. but my 89 trans am eventually needed an overhaul. cost was 1900 and that was for a full blown race conversion. torque converter and all. However im not sure if foreign parts and more expensive. to make a long story short get a few prices for a rebuild. then look for prices on a new tranny. but beware junkyard trannys may need a rebuild too. to be careful. make sure you can return it.
