Hello, im going to keep this short and sweet.
05 35th ann model oe clutch and tranny - 118kms
all gears are fine except 2nd gear, when i start in first going at a moderate acceleration and i slowly shift into 2nd, it wont let me.... i feel like there is a "wall" blocking it into 2nd.... this problem is on and off, doesnt happen after i drive it for a while. and occurs also slowing down to turn when im in 3rd to 2nd the same problem happens... im thinking its a bad syncro?

any help would be great

sounds like synchros to me

theevesh

thanks for your help. im going to call my local Nissan specialist to quote me a price, is there anything else i should get replaced while their working on that, other than clutch and flywheel?

what happens if you are accelerating hard and you try to shift?

Cheap and easy to do an oil change in the gearbox before getting too far ahead of yourself. OEM is fine, or Redline 85MTL.

SQuaLZ

Agreed. Switching to Redline MT-85 made a world of a difference.

It shifts fine in higher rmp..... it happens randomly no all the time

theevesh

alright ill give it a shot.. but wouldnt it make more sense to flush it if all gears were feeling like that.... ill give it a shot anyways

this blockage only occurs when i shift slowly in lower rpm's- 2-4k..... like in the morning drive, how u just shift very easy.... thats when it happens.... (car is warmed up too)

Syner

if the car is warm, and it's only happening in lower rpm i'm going with syncros.

its cheaper to just get all the syncros replaced and call it a day

Syner

lol we'll see you in a few months with the same problem again.

theevesh

apparently its prty expensive because they have to take apart the tranny etc........ f*** it i guess i can live with it.... thanks for the help anyways

its not "that" bad that i need a new tranny lol.......i wouldnt of bought the car if it did.

So you're too lazy to even try changing the oil?

hmmmmm going back on what you said..... i cant say that i told you so because i didnt, but i could have told you that it would be expensive

I will confuse you even more and say go with only GENUINE NISSAN MANUAL TRANSMISSION fluid. That should be the first step and learn how to drive to get the synchros working for you. AKA rev matching on an upshift...Second is almost useless on our cars anyway. Go from 1 to 3rd
