Hi all I just got a 4 door d21 petrol auto 4x2 1992 model and it didn't have the dipstick for the auto transmission. Does anyone know the length to the high/low marks on the dipstick, so can check the fluid levels without buying one. It's a paddock bomb and i don't want to spend any money on it...

If the d21 manual is still available, can i please have 1. [email protected]

Update All is good in my world again. Got the car back with a repaired TCM and thought all was good until leaving the Mechanics. The noise i had heard which i thought was coming from the auto was still there. A quick u-turn and i was back in my mechanics driveway. He said that noise was the...

The word I got from the specialist is that this is a common problem for the transmission. They use the same tranny in the pathfinder and the Nissan 350Z. The shop that is fixing it does a lot of the local dealership work, so he knows quite a bit about them. As for Wholesale Automatics, I would...

Update Got the dreaded phone call. The computer inside the tranny has died. $1500 and a 2 week wait. Has this happened to anyone before?

Update Code was P1757, which relates to FR-B solenoid circuit. I think FR-B mans front right brake solenoid. That was all they could tell me today. I'll find out more tomorrow. After trolling thru a couple of other forums, as well as this one, apparently most solutions to this code is to replace...

Update Been on the phone with Wholesale Automatic Transmission (great to deal with over the phone) this morning and the guy seems to think the transmission is in a safe mode. Going off what I told him he said it will be in 3rd gear and scanning it will bring up a code to let me know what the...

I never thought of a reset. I'll let the mechanic put his scan tool on it first (he is good to me so it shouldn't cost much. A few beers is the going rate i think.) to see if there are any codes, then we can reset. Thanks

Hi all I've got a problem with my 2007 Spanish built D40 auto. Had a slow drive down the freeway this afternoon. I have no 'strong' drive thru the auto. The car moves very slowly off the mark and feels like you are trying to pull a dead weight behind you. The engine doesn't feel the same load. I...

On a recent trip to the high country, I had a stick jamb up under the car and wedge the auto selector bracket stopping me from getting out of low 2. After removing the offending stick, I was having trouble selecting all gears. After inspecting possible damage I found that the selector cable had...

Unfortunately I spoke too soon. Light came back this afternoon, so I called the mechanic and he is pricing me up a clock spring replacement.

Airbag light started flashing today for no reason, tried this method and it worked. 07 STX auto Spanish built.

My solution to this issue is plug the seatbelt into the socket before getting in the car and have it behind your back. I use this method only when I know I will be in and out of the car all the time (like when collecting firewood for camping).

The temp probe is fitted right before the external cooler coming from the auto, so my guess would be it is on the hot side. That is where it is recommended by the company.

Here are my results for my weekend away 'testing'. Hwy driving - Temp never went past 55C and that was only after climbing a long hill and the auto had kicked down for an extended period of time. Sand driving - Max temp reached was 110C when under really hard conditions for longer periods of...

Thanks for the replies. It looks like my trans is not overworking. I will test it good a proper over this long weekend. From Melb to Hunter Valley (12hrs on the hwy), a day on Stockton beach, a day at Barrington tops, a leisurely day touring the wineries and then 12hrs back to Melb. I will...

Hi All Does anyone know what the automatic transmission temperature is meant to be? I have just had a temp gauge fitted and was wondering where the needle should sit. My gauge range is from 50 to 150, but it doesn't move much above 50. I have only done one drive for about 45 minutes and the...

Hi All Not sure if someone else has posted this before, but we all should check our Awnings are not coming loose or falling off. Let me explain. A guy at work told me his awning fell off his car while he was driving and he suggested i check mine. He was right, the actual awning is held to the...

Try 'sandgrabba' mats. Moulded to suit. I don't have them yet, but a mate reckons they are great.
