I'll help ya take off the stickers...:-D Anyway, sounds like ya need a transmission rebuilt. No way around it...gotta spend the money .

Trans rebuild kit for the 240 is only like $275I've built several with your problem, and it is usually just bad clutches or a broken band.

[icnuthin]

do you have a link to rebuild it or is it hard to rebuild it. also do they have shift kits for the car

[lofapoo]

Just think, if you hadn't spent the money on making your car look like it does, you would have two spare fresh auto trannies in your grasp

My advice, start pulling some of that crap off and putting it back on eBay, that'll fund you a new transmission!

look the stuff on my car i got for cheap. my drummer works at a vinyl shop so the stuff was free and the light i got for 50 bucks so lay off the style. as for the transmission i was wondering if it is easy to rebuild it. dont knock the 240. plus the stuff that i did buy for the car was when it was running. like i know that it was going to go out. and its not all show. i have lots of non ebay stuff under the hood.

[All_Motor_KA]

Don't get mad dude, but you have a ricer. Atleast get rid of those rims :-P. Anyways, on to your transmission. I wouldn't recommend rebuilding the transmission yourself. Especially an automatic one. Spend the 600 to 800 bucks and get it rebuilt with a warrenty. That way if your transmission breaks down again you will still have money for those way cool neon lights...

you know i used to like this website but with everyone ribbing on my 240 im done

you said the fluid is filled to the propper level? have you pulled the pan yet? fluid was clean?Do you have Reverse?If his clutch(s) are toast wouldn't the fluid show it?(black, clutch/band material ect...]

All_motor-KA great job suggesting getting the thing that was broken fix increadable insiteful. We're talking about transmision/drive trains not fasion but Ill keep you in mind next time I need decorating tips. Can we keep the engines forum at least some what proffesional please..

[Red coupe]

Just more guessing but If the pump failed the clutchs wouldnt have lubrication and would burn out pretty fast, If the fluid shows no sign of of burning or clutch material could it possibly be a torque converter problem?

[FliMSiCaL]

i 2nd the torque comverter issue, especially with the fluid looking clean. If it were the pump, you would hear it. I would also suggest draining it and yanking the pan to check for loose metal, just to be sure...sometimes those magnets can be reaaaal good at holding on to the flakes.

[icnuthin]

the fluid is clean and doesnt smell burnt havent got a chance to pull the pan but as soon i dont have work i will. and it sounds like power steering pump going bad but its from the transmission. no more comments about the decoration please. thank you

[Red coupe]

you might wanna take this to Nissan Online mechanic section as im sure 99% of these guys dont work with autos that much (that what you get for having a slush box, if it were a manual we would know what was wrong.. )

[All_Motor_KA]

I happen to not like graphics and flashy lights. He does. So what? Don't take my comments so serouslly it's an internet message board. And I still say take it to a transmission shop so they can look at it and tell you what's wrong.

[Red coupe]

I realize you don't like it but its the same as me going into a post you made and are trying to get info from and just ranting about how a picture I saw of you looked stupid ( people actually take pride in there car even if you don't like their style) Your post was off topic and completely unwelcome, as well as completely unhelpful, I think anybody could have told him that he could take his transmission to a transmission shop to get it fix...kinda a given, that's why he came here to get actual info, not critiques of his style. It is an internet message board, but that doesn't mean there aren't people on the other side

BTW Did you ever try the car in reverse???

If someone looked at a picture of me, and said I looked stupid over the internet I really wouldn't care. And it seems you care more then the other guy. Besides, why attack me? Atleast I say it in a jokeing way and still give him advice, go to a transmission shop. Unlike another post in this thread that just hacked his looks. I still say dont even try to **** with autos. Send it to a shop, most have free inspections and estimate anyway. They can tell you 20x's more then we ever could.

[FliMSiCaL]

it sounds like a power steering pump gone bad?? thats almost definitely ur fluid pump in there, thats not an easy one to fix. Rip out transmission and send it off to get fixed.

[Red coupe]

yeah if its the oil pump you might want to check into just buying a used one, could be cheaper then a rebuilt. hit up the classified sectionIf it was whining from the torque converter you could probably tell that it was coming from the back of the engine as much as from the transmission so I doesn't sound like that's were the noise if from. Unfortunately The pump Is generally a pretty snug fit but if you do drop the transmission you might wanna se If you cant follow the FSM directions and pull the pump, and check clearances and what not. I ask if you have tried reverse yet because all forward gear ranges use the forward clutch , while reverse only uses reverse clutch, so it would eliminate burnt clutches from the list. You might be able to tap into the transmission with a pressure gauge (if you have one, make sure it can handle the ~150 psi the transmission valve body sees in drive ranges or the up to ~250 psi in reverse)...that could tell you if the pump was working

All motor The other guys are just as bad I picked yours out because it was the last one I read and because you posted multiple here multiple times. I care because this is the engine section not general chat we should be here to discuss technical issues not bag on other peoples tastes. As horrible as he has managed to make the car look its completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. You cant really say you offered advise when you said to take it to a mechanic...that answerer applies to pretty much every question on this board I could just go through and say You should take it to a body show/you should take it to a mechanic/you should take it to an engine builder...OK enough drama for KA section lets leave this thread alone You made your point that its a poorly designed ricer car I made my point that their was no reason to make comments like that....now lets keep it to this guys drive-train..

[All_Motor_KA]

Indeed. But I really don't think he should take apart his auto transmission. I work on cars all the time and I would not feel confortable takeing apart a transmission just to send it to a shop later on. And as I was looking around I see transmission shops rebuilding for only $300. I say spend the money, get the warrenty, and then you wouldn't have to worry about it for a long time. Or just swap to manual :-D. Good luck.
