Car: 1990 300zx NA

Post

Hello,
I just purchased a 1990 300zx NA auto 2 seater car. Engine needs rebuild as it sounds to have spun a bearing. Engine does start but when took around block transmission won't shift out of first.

So here are my questions.
Is my car equipped with the RE4R01A auto transmission? After doing research its all I can find.

Are 300zx's equipped with a Limp Mode that would keep transmission from shifting? Previous owner stated all started at same time.

Good place for interior trim pieces? Need some basic trim parts, but need all the cargo area parts.

Thanks and I apologize, I looked through the forum but couldn't find my specific answer. But Im also not very computer savvy.

Re4R01A, yes, R03A for the TT. Limp mode, no. Our limp mode has to do with the RPMs, not the transmission at all. I'd pull codes from both the ECU and the transmission and see what codes come up. May be a blown shift solenoid, may be something worse.
