Nissan Pickup problems

[Ham]

I have a 1992 Nissan pickup- 6 cylinder sports edition, automatic transmission. The problem is that when I accelerate it makes a ticking noise. My friend believes that it is the valves, but I'm not sure. There is also another problem that I think has to do with the transmission. This only happens every so often, but when I go to accelerate after being stopped, it takes a good few seconds for the truck to actually move. Then when I am actually moving, it doesn't shift at all, and the RPM gets really high (obviously). I guess a way to describe it is that it feels like it is slipping back in to neutral. After I bought it last year, I have brought it in to be fixed. The mechanics couldn't really find anything wrong with it, but they replaced the TSP. After that was put in, my truck was running fine for a long time. But just recently it has been starting to run funny again, where it feels like it slips into neutral after stopping. I want to get it fixed before I go off to college. Does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas of what might be wrong with it?

I have a 95 Nissan Pathfinder with the same problem, passenger side. It ticks when i accelerate, especially if in gear. It seems to tick at every RPM, it sounds kinda like a motor cycle. Its gotten louder in the past month. Is that the same as your problem? My pathfinder is a stick shift. If I were u I'd get rid of my transmission and its components. If u want reliability get a new tranny. If not, run it till it dies then change out what broke. I'd at least make a when the tranny dies fund.

Hey, go to search at the top right of the screen and in the "search for posts by a specific user" field type in 95pathfinder and you will find an article in the honda forums about a civic with like 39 posts called "weird buzzing when acclering". I've posted in there. It addresses the problem we were having. Check out my posts and the replies that came after it. Everything before my first post is useless.
