Hey I heard about this site in playboy and i'm a girl that needs 2 car pros! I think that I may have a problem with my transmission I plan to flush it asap but before I did that I was hoping for a little help. I have never owned a nissan and got this one for free. I have no idea where the drain plug is and could use any info anyone has. The car came with NOTHING I have no manual. It has starting shifting out of 1st a little too hard for my liking and has a bit of a rough ride in 1st gear. When it idles it is kinda chuggy, that's the best description I can give. If I put it in neutral it is a little less "chuggy" I know it needs an oil change i'm doing that as soon as it stops raining but help this little girl out. I don't know too much but with a little help i'm sure I can figure it out! Thanks!

Hello .. thanks for the donation .. much appreciated

I suspect you may have a fault on the transmission internally and a flush will not cure the fault ... you posiibly have a faulty solonoid or torque convertor .. you really need to have the transmission looked at by a transmission shop ...

Hope this helps

Sounds like it might be a bad trans or maybe the converter is staying locked. I would like to know if there are any codes in it first. I know its an obd1 (need an obd1 connector)but depending on what month the 95 was built is might have an obd2 connector that works also.
