Sentra 1-2 shift problem!! Please help.

Jul 16, 2006 1 Replies

Please give me some advice and assistance on this one.



Here is what I have:


1999 Sentra Automatic wtih 84K miles. The tranmission fluid is at the right level and the right color.

The engine was recently changed and a transmission problem began.



If I start out in Drive, it will not shift from 1st to 2nd until 22 MPH--this is way too late and the car jerks into 2nd. The 2-3 shift is perfect.



But, if I shift the car manually from 1st to 2nd, it shifts perfectly.



What could be wrong and how would I fix this?



Thank you in advance for any help you can give.



Is the OD light blinking? Does the speedometer work?
