MAJOR Transmission Problem

[BruceJ30]

Alright, imagine that. Problem after problem...

Well, i was pulling up to a stop light. So i was braking, going about 15 MPH, and then it went green so i stepped on the gas to accelerate. I DID NOT floor it or even put the pedal down halfway, i just barely put in gas. Just enough to start accelerating again. And then right after i stepped on the gas, i heard a noise and then the car jerked a little. It's hard to describe on here, but it was as if the car was in neutral. So i went down through all the gears (D,3,2, and 1) And still had nothing. No power and the car just revved. So i had to get out in the road in the middle of the night and push it to the nearest parking lot.

What do you guys think the problem is? I don't think the transmission blew because i had no problems with it before this happened. So I'm guessing the torgue converter?

I checked my transmission fluid, and it was at the appropriate level.Also, i changed the transmission fluid, and filter about 9-10,000 miles ago.

Didi you check the CODE from TCU?

[BruceJ30]

No code.

I'm almost positive it's the torque converter.

Your probably going to have to replace the whole transmission, OEM would probably be not worth it because the cars not worth that much. I took a chance and dropped in a used one from the boneyard. Been working fine for about 15-20k now and cost like 600 total.

Alright, that sucks.

Some are lucky with junkyard trannies, however we have seen owners who have bad luck going thru 2 or 3 before they give up and come to us for a Nissan [JATCO Tennessee Factory] remanned unit. [$2500 installed]

If you have to pay $500 for swap labor vs do it yourself 5 hours.
