Transmission Issues

[xpurplepandasx]

Hahaha... yeah... I'm a girl... Thanks for the respect. Most of my guys just poke fun at me cause they don't think I'll really do it, but I'm gung-ho about this!

A friend of mine works at Nissan and he's calling me a grease monkette... he's sorta my mentor... but he's the one that's gonna help me with this...

Here's the video that has the clunking noise when it goes into drive... The car goes great in reverse... but that's all...

Now... again... a friend of mine and from what I'm reading in manuals and forums, the sound could be from the fluids (which EVERY fluid in the car needs to be changed), but then my Nissan guru also said that we need to look at some disks (?) when we take the tranny apart...

I dunno... any other inputs from what you can see on the video?

most service manual will just tell you the home mechanic should just be concerned with the fluid level. but have you check your entire drivetrain? my car had really bad vibrations when i had an automatic and i thought the tranny was to blame but it turned out to be worn out u joint on the driveshaft, so check the rest of your drivetrain too.

you understand all these terms right? when i talk to my female friends about cars they dont understand much of anything so i dont even bother anymore if it just bores them.
