has anyone had a problem with slippage while in 3rd gear? either when i'm braking or accelerating while in 3rd gear, it sometimes just pops out and goes into neutral. i have a lot of "play" with that gear - when it's engaged, it moves around a lot.

i hate to go in to get it fixed with such a vague problem. any help is appreciated.

thanks!

Synchro problem?

thanks, but i'm not sure what that means. could you explain?

synchros basically are what eliminates double clutching. they allow the gear and the collar to make a smooth connection at the same speed before the dog teeth actually engage the gear. simply put your tranmission needs to looked at by a good mechanic and parts will more than likely have to be replaced. hope this helps.

since your in Colorado Springs try Academy Nissan first for a diagnosis then once you know what parts you need find a shop to do the work for you. firestone at rangewood and woodmen does good work not sure if they do transmissions but give them a call anyway!!!

Anytime just ask.!!!
