How about investing in a fluid flush at your next trans service? It may be that you have some crap floating around in the bottom of the transmission that is coming up to the valve body under high pressure (read high revs).

If you do it, ask the tech to make sure there are a couple of magnets in the bottom of the trans oil pan. They are valuable for picking up ferrous peices of muck that get into the oil, and it never ceases to amaze me how many people have them removed because they don't think they should be there.

just been for another drive but took it easy (no high revs) and found another problem. on the freeway when it changed to third gear at half revs it started to slip and had to back of to get grip. I think i got an idea of wats wrong , something to do with the bands slipping? thought i would have noticed some symptoms before yesterday though. is this going to be expensive to fix

they told me it is, or feels like the clutch packs and first and third share the same pack so thats why i mainly noticed it in third and not first. That warranty is comin in handy. covers up to 2000 and im getting them to do my valvebody while there at it :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛

      Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol.

      I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
