Asked by James
I have a problem with my 2006 Nissan Navara D40 2.5 diesel. It's an automatic and it seems to be stuck in third gear when in Drive (D) and won't go up or down through the gears when needed. I try to put it in first, second and third gears manually, and while it says on the dash that it goes in to the gear, it seems that it's still in third. It still goes in to reverse and still goes in to 4x4 and 4x4 low no problems. Do you have any idea what it could be?

22 Sep 2022Honestly, this problem could be caused by anything from a transmission that is worn out to one that is simply low on fluid. It could even be caused by a bad earth somewhere on the car or something as simple as a blown fuse.
You need to take the vehicle to a workshop that can electronically scan the vehicle and hopefully turn up a fault code that will pin-point the problem. Without doing this, you're simply guessing at what the problem might be and will end up replacing parts you didn't need to.
