my car seems to not shift as smooth as it did when i first got it about 2 months ago, anyone have any input to as what would cause this? btw i checked the tranny fluid, dont know if that would have an effect on it, and it looked fine

how did you check your gearbox fluid?? theres no dipstick what you just took a peak inside. but yea i know what you mean, my assumption is becuase everything finally broke in and loosened up.

ya, just after i bought my 04' brand new, i noticed it shifted really hard for a few months.. after awhile it broke in and is fine now.... btw, i didnt look too carefully but i dont see any reason y the sentra shouldnt have a tranny dipstick....any car ive ever had does.

 

[V-spec03]

are you talking about your se-r or spec, casue the spec has a gearbox and the ser has a transmison. the transmision has one the gearbox does not

Rev match when shifting, heel and toe, no powershifting.

You control how smooth it shifts. Its a 5 speed....

btw do u guys have to put a lot of effort to shift to reverse. my spec v has difficutly getting into reverse. THen sometimes i shift into reverse but its not enough n honestly i pull it back but the problem is it sometimes still gets that scraping sound. I dont want to pull back too much so i dont break the bar... any ideas on my problem??

I have had mine 2 years and yes, I experience everything you said. The reverse sometimes is hanging between in/out and then the grind!!!!!

Someone I was reading about switched to GM Syncromesh tranny fluid and he swears it absolutely rocks. Give it a try and see.

Reverse are dogteeth gears if i remember...pull back and gently give gas as you release the clutch...the gear teeth will engage and you will be in reverse....try it too quick, and you will get pop out

reverse took a little getting used to. clutch once, problem solved.

uh, you're wrong. a gearbox is a transmission, and no manual transmission b15 sentra has a transmission dipstick.

 

[o0blackout0o]

mike, the proper punctuation is:

"and no manual transmission b15 sentra has a transmission, dipstick."

 

[chimmike]

ahh, you are correct on that one, dipstick

If reverse doesn't seem to engage...
1) put it back into N
2) release clutch
3) depress clutch & try again (usually helps)

then rinse and repeat...

[chimmike]

usually the car has to move a little bit if you can't get it in reverse....

 

[NishiSpecV]

thats what i said

Just breakin it down in laymens

I not only have a new SR20DE-tranny ( Dealer servicing SNAFU ) , but I use Royal Purple....and it's like butta' .

Yup! when mine doesn't go I put it in 1st and move it up a hair, then it will go into reverse no problem.
