As posted before, my auto box is fooked, I was driving down the Mway (about 70 ish) when the revs suddenly went up, I realised my overdrive had stopped working. traveled another 10 miles and pulled into a car park. Tried to reverse and it was like my back wheels had locked up and wouldnt reverse. couldn't go forward so had no choice but to wellie it and the car did move backward jerkily jumping off the ground I think something must have snapped inside the box. set off forward and 1st and 2nd gear sounded like 2 pieces of metal being rubbed together (a bit like the noise you would get if you had no brake pads and it was metal on metal) when it eventually got into 3rd (would only change by stabbing at the accelerator) it run fine. got to a mates house and checked the fluid level. was a little bit low so topped up. Tried reverse and nothing at all! no matter how much I revd the engine, left the car overnight then drove it 45 miles home, same problem with 1st and 2nd, normal running in 3rd. 3 days later needed to go somewhere urgent so drove the car, it kept stalling untill the engine was a bit warm. Now obviously there is something seriously wrong but would it be repairable with a recondition. Im having serious problems locating a box and realy dont want to convert to manual. can you still buy a brand new box from nissan? any help would be appreciated. Oh for a few weeks before I had a flashing power light on start up but didnt realise this was a diagnostic thing so never bothered counting the flashes.
