96 Altima tranny issue(s)

[Shift_2WIN]

Have u ever changed the gear oil b4 or is this the 1st time? And how many miles are on the car? If u have gone way too long without changing the gear oil, then ive heard u shouldnt change it out as thats the only thing keeping you tranny 2gether. All of the metal particles in the fluid that usually u want out, are now whats creating the fiction needed 4 your transmission to shift. Once those fluids are removed and replaced with fresh particle free fluid, then there is no longer any type of friction, and the transmission jus slips. Ive also heard dat is u have gone to long without changing it, some transmission shops will not change it. You should take it to a transmission shop, and let them take a look.

wow congraualtions giving advice on a automatic transmission. a 96 altima doesnt have a 5spd auto. but it does have a 5spd manual... read a little more.

but your right though about the automatic... if you wait to long... then dont change it. but with manuals you can change it and be fine. he has more issues than just fluid when you loose gears.
