Well I was in front of my friends house today. I had to back up and The hill was kinda steep so I had to kinda mash on the accelorator to back up. Well the car won't go in reverse. The reverse gear is fried. The car goes into Nissan this Friday.

I'm very dissapointed.
In fact. I might even trade in my car now.

WTF??!!?? Agian?! dude.....check your state lemon laws....this would be like the third time your tranny has died.....you can try and make nissan buy your car back from you. This is not acceptable.......

Sorry to hear about it tho Hope everything works out for you.

my old mechanic who used to work for nissan actually told me once of a lady who's transmission was crap and went in about 10 times during warranty. eventually, they gave her a new car. let's just hope!

Why would your Level 10 tranny go out on you? Did you even get the Level 10 tranny rebuild?

Seriously though, your tranny shouldn't have screwed up. How much did you have to pay to get it done? Give some numbers so we can figure out if they really did do it or not.

I'm not doubting you, but doubting the shop. Sounds like you went to a shady shop... if it was Nissan that did the rebuild, then I doubt they'll fix it under warranty.

Since this is a Level 10 rebuild, isn't it their problem and not Nissan? Don't they have an awesome warranty?

No, Nissan will not warranty a Tranny that had level 10 work done to it, so that is why I think he was just messing with everyone that he had a level 10.....

Hi Pat, Been a while, back when I asked you what TC stall you had put on my car you said 3200.It seems more like 2800 because when Im at a complete stop then WOT it, it seems more like a 2800 than a 3200.I would appreciate any input thanks. Chris

To:Chris

Thank you for your inquiry. Brake stall is always less that flash.We measure flash to be more accurate.Any questions please feel free to call.

I'm sorry, but I don't follow the threads on the 5th gen forum, but I take it you got your tranny rebuilt by Level 10? I'm thinking about rebuilding mine...do you think it's worth it? Did you send your car to them, or did you have the parts sent to you? Sorry for all of the questions.

Thanks
