I brought my 1997 pathfinder to Nissan and they told me that this happens all the time when you reach a certain km. What it is is a small valve at the back of the transmission that does not close properly when the engine is cold. That small valve needs to be replaced, but the problem it's way at the back so having your transmission completely redone is a better way to go.
This valve does not close the pressure cannot build up and you cannot go into reverse.... what you can do if it's just starting to do this... try putting it in drive then reverse or warming up the car before taking off or what Nissan told me which is really stupid..... park the car in backwards....
Needs internal transmission repairs. Find a good shop.
Forward and reverse. It's an automatic
The forward pump is shot or the throttle has a blown gasket
If this is an automatic transmission, more than likely the transmission is on it's way to the junkyard. Usually failing transmissions lose reverse first, then the higher forward gears - last will be the lowest forward gears.
Reverse and forward gears
reverse drum inside of trans is stripped out the fix is teardown unit and replace with abeast drum from transtar
if it was automatic it had a torqueflite tranny and had 3 forward gears and a reverse and if stick shift you had either a 3 speed tranny (rare) or a 4 speed.
the forward gear clutch pack is worn out. the only solution is to get the transmission rebult.
The shifter. D is for drive which is forward and R is for reverse. N is for neutral. You have to have the breaks pressed down all the way in order to move out of park and into D or R.
Need to know if it is standard or automatic.
time to get new trannie
3 forward, 1 reverse
