Hi
The moderator of the UK Navara Forum suggested I post this question here!
I've got a 2006 D40 with auto gearbox which is stuck in 2nd gear.
I spoke to an automatic transmission specialist who said it was likely to be the ECU, rather than a problem with the actual gearbox, and advised me to go to a Nissan dealer as it has to be supplied and programmed by them anyway, and they should only charge a couple of hours labour, although the part is about £1,200 :shock: .
I have Googled it and assume he is referring to the Gearbox Control unit, and used ones seem to be available from as little as £60 on ebay. Is it feasible to just replace the unit with a cheap secondhand one? Is it a relatively easy swap and does it need reprogramming by a Nissan dealer?
I have it booked into the main dealer for Thursday morning but would be interested to know if anyone else has had this problem and found an alternative solution?
