Hi all,
This is my first post on the forums (skipped the welcome section, as this issue is critical).
So, to the fun parts:
I decided to replace the tranny filter on my 2007 Nissan Versa 1.8S 4spd Auto today, because i Just hit 90,000 miles and I did the filter on my old crystler van and it shifted and ran much smoother.
I figured I would do the same easy change on the Versa. I have never been so wrong. After finding out that the nut was loose on top of the valve body, I removed it and got the new filter installed, pan back on ( couldn't find a gasket anywhere, so had to make due with RTV (even the stealership didn't have them in stock). And now the car won't shift out of park!
I tried rolling the car, but it's definitely in park, and even tried shifting, thinking it was stuck as if parked on a hill, but its not. I tired pushing down the shift lock button and still no luck.
I put the manual valve back on the shifter lever when I installed the valve body again, but I never put the shifter into the neutral position upon re installation (it wouldn't shift when the valve body was out of the car).
Any thoughts on this guys? I am about to tear the pan back off and get back on my back to figure this out, I am supposed to be leaving in 2 days on a huge trip with this thing, and I need it to be ready by Thursday!
