OE812 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I noticed my 99 Pathy transmission slipping under moderate to hard acceleration. Also, it seems to be starting off in 2nd gear on occasion. I serviced it about 6K miles ago and everthing looked fine; no metal in pan, etc. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Are you checking the fluid often? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NismoSkyZ Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Auto trannys usually start off in 2nd gear. At least its like that in the R51's. Change the oil and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OE812 Posted December 7, 2006 Author Share Posted December 7, 2006 I serviced it about 6K miles ago. Fluid level is ok. As far as starting off in 2nd, I have never heard that before. Used Castrol Dex III/Mercon as owners manual states Nissan D fluid or Dex III Mercon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 It shouldn't start off in 2nd. That's not standard practice for nay transmission I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaKaNa Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Mmy R50 will start in 2nd when it can, but if i slam the pedal down it normally goes to 1st, but occaisonally if I dont slam it fast enough, it gets hung up in 2nd, and my tranny is recently rebuilt.
