92 Sentra Won't Shift to 2nd gear

May 27, 2007 4 Replies

I have a 1992 Sentra with 250,000 miles. Yes, that's the correct mileage but it's been such a good car I hate to see it go. I'm not sure which transmission it has but it's an overdrive transmission with the OD off button on the gearshift. The name badges were not on it when I bought it so I don't know if it's an XE, GXE, or what. The engine is a 1.6L. It goes into drive and pulls fine from a stop but it never shifts into 2nd, 3rd, or OD. One thing I did notice is that when I let off the gas completely, it acts normally. The engine doesn't try to slow the car down like when it's in 1st gear on the shifter. I've read several other posts suggesting it might be a bad governor gear. If so, how much can I get the part for? Could it be anything else?



Thanks, Chris



it's cheap.

Under 40 bucks from the dealer

piece of cake to change

That's great! So where is it located? I only have a Haynes manual, which shows very little about the transmission.

Get the fsm here

. get the 1994 Sentra (same B13 as 1992). look in at.pdf for breakdown of components.

I'm sure I can use the fsm for alot of things. Thanks a bunch.
