Nissan Sentra Tranny problem.

redmaro · 11-28-2006, 04:28 AM

I have a little 1995 Nissan Sentra GXE Automatic, we changed the motor with another one we got from a junk yard off Sentra 95 GLE.

Well here's the problem, the motor mounts arent to good and I dont think the trany mounts are to good either. The problem is that when its going to shift to 2nd gear it shifts until 22mph which it feels to long for second gear and it also shifts verry hard in second gear(hard shift was a problem before but it wasnt that bad). Could the motor or Transmission mounts cause it to take so long to shift to second gear? Or what else can cause this problem?

This seems simple ,but just to be sure...The tranny fluid is filled to the proper level at operating temp. correct? Mabey when you swapped out ,you undid the cooler lines and lost some juice ,just a guess.
