Unless it has a lot of revs. I feel like a boy racer. What's wrong? It's an automatic, please help O Wise Ones? TIA

Move into a Cul-d-sac ! . Had a similar thing happen in a Camry ( drove to work fine but could only get up to third on way home ) and it was g/box failure sorry to say. Prepare for the worst I am afraid.

Have you checked the oil level in the transmission?
Thanks all of you. It's a 1998. I'll give my trusty mechanic a call. Sounds expensive then?

Sorry to be dense buyit59 but how can I tell? There's no clue on the registration. It's an 1830cc

Hezwez-Beeing a 1998 Nissan Bluebird 1800cc it will have a four stage normal automatic gearbox. Before going anywhere I would just check your transmission oil level

Sorry Hezwez. I left the mb . Think you will find the 4 speed auto cheaper to repair than the CVT type . Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Theres a clutch in automatics that can stop the car from going in reverse if its worn.
My toyota vista will not work in reverse, it feels like its in forward and reverse at the same time, just locks uo, cannot be pushed either. Also, it still goes forward in neutral. But not properly. Also, feels like when a manual gbox with the clutch slippng. Won't change up correctly under power. I put some 500mls fluid in it, helped a bit, maybe put the rest in as it was slightly low before adding the fluid.
But, that and other stuff, will scrap it fir $250 - 300. Paid $300 for it. Its got a foot operated handbrake. And two effin great flat spots on the rear tyres.
