Goodevening everyone.

Please guys, I really need your help. Its very urgent.

There is this Nissan maxima 2001 model my brother gave to me. He has parked it down for almost 2 years.

So, last week...I decided to repair the car because I want to use it next year. We had to tow it to the mechanic workshop. We started working on it. Changed the brain box, the fuel pump, bought new battery, new tyres etc.

After everything, it came back to life. Nice sound. Everything seems to be alright. Then the re-wire drove it around, though, I was with him. We discovered that the gear (automatic transmission) wasn't selecting.

It works on reverse (R) , on drive (D) and on Park (P). But the gear isn't selecting (like change from 1-2).

The re-wire said we need to change the gear oil. We flushed the gear oil that was there and bought a new gear oil. We bought 8L of Holts gear oil. The gear consumed everything before it could guaged.

After changing the gear oil, we then tested the car. It was still the same problem. The gear wasn't selecting. Sometimes, it will act like it wants to select, but nope.

Please guys, what do think I should do? Please!

Thanks.

You probably have the wrong brain box installed. Or the gear selector switch cable is not plugged in...check well.

1. Use Nissan Matic D ATF or a good Dexron III alternative (not Holts)
2. Check the control cable for proper adjustment
3. Run a scan on the TCM
4. The Rev Sensor is a likely culprit, or maybe the valve body with clogged shift solenoids
5. Feedback

Okay. Thanks so much. I will definitely do all these and get back to you.

Update!!!

I took it to the mechanic today and after the guy did some servicing on it, the gear was selecting. But, takes longer to select and only gets to gear 1 and 2,...not reaching 3.

The mechanic said he will work on it tomorrow.
