Nissan have confirmed I have problems with my solenoids in the auto box.

 

Problem: Car wont drop from 2nd to third gear.

 

On inspection the

 

shift A

shift B

Overrun clutch solenoids dont seem to be energizing when energised from the loom

 

Line pressure solenoid seen to be working OK

 

 

Whats the the procedure to follow from here. Do I replace the first 3 solenoids???

 

She is a Jap spec SWB Jan 1994 series 3 car.

 

Are the solenoids in the Jap autobox different to the UK spec

 

solenoid?

 

Thanks

Roy,

 

Don't mess around with replacing 1 of them. The shift 1/2 and LP solenoids are fixed in the same pack anyway(about $110 from Courtesy Nissan -and 4-5 day delivery). Also replace the faulty one.

 

"Line pressure solenoid seen to be working OK" Thats what I was told. Its not worth leaving it if you have to drain the fluid and drop the bellypan. Trust me! These degrade and fail over time.

Would the failure of a/b and clutch solenoid cause the symptoms described?

 

What does the LP solenoid do as a matter of interest
