Hi there.
I have a K11 nissan march automatic model 2000 which is slipping or gets stuck in first gear and you cant pass speed of 20km when driving. It does this after a few drives. AFT was changed thinking it will solve the problem to no avail.
Mileage? How was the ATF changed, normally or flushed? Was that a first ATF change on the car? Have you tried a friction improving additive?
Thank you. Mileage 135000. ATF was removed and the filter cleaned and ATF replaced with new one. It was the first change of ATF. Whats friction improving?
First change at 135k miles or km? If in miles, it was way too late. Automatic transmission works on friction. If slipping, you can try an additive that improves friction and thus reduces slipping. Nissan is generally known for bad transmissions. As @chucktobias said, you might need a new one
Thank you
You are welcome and good luck
You need a new transmission.
Wikipedia says this car came with a CVT, not a conventional automatic. Is that the case? They do not last very long.
