[Solved] High RPMs with first gear manual transmission…

Have a 2017 Nissan Sentra SR Turbo with 86k miles. It’s a manual transmission and I just took it to the dealer because I thought my turbo was going (power/acceleration seemed off).  They said it tested fine, boost and fuel mixtures read great and road test was good. I’ve been noticing higher rpm’s a lot quicker in first and second gear. Had the fuel line maintenance done about 15k miles ago and had to get a new clutch around 57k miles. What should I be looking for now?  Is my tranny going?

Well, either your clutch is slipping or your transmission is going out. You'd have to pull the transmission off to check the clutch first. Either way, pray it's not the transmission

Other dealer had a 2019 Jeep Renegade with only 39K miles.  Traded in the Nissan for a Jeep! 

That's not really a Jeep, it's a rebadged Fiat.

Dealership has a lifetime powertrain warranty

Good luck with that. Check the fine print carefully.

Took it in to the dealership and they gave it a clean bill of health. It was due for a transmission fluid change and was expecting them to say something odd there (discoloring, shavings, something  with my luck), but no issues were found.  

They have a 2014 RAV4 with 111K miles for sale, might just trade this in and get it but need to do some more research on this one. 

They did say I have this “issue” documented…whatever good that will do.
