tranny doesn't shift outta 1st

[nismo_pilot]

if the gear looks like someone beat it with a hammer when you pull it out, thats what i mean by obvious, something like that doesnt just barely go, it GOES....

the revolution sensor just gives vehicle speed im assuming, the govenor actually creates the pressure for an upshift

Keep this post going... I have a 92 Sentra with the same exact problem. I just cant get that cover off to get at the gov Gear. I took the C clip off but I can't get the cover to pop off.

tap the edges around the cap, not the cap itself, a few good times to break the seal, then the fsm has it coming out with pliers...... wd-40 or pb blaster is probably your friend here

nismo pilot is the MAN! After getting to cap off, I popped the governor out and you are correct, the plastic gear doesn't just wear out a little bit, it goes and it was obvious, I'll post a picture for future references to this post. Thanks for bearing with me on this one, if my first born wasn't named already for the past 18 years, he'd be named nismo pilot! Went to the Nissan dealer to try to get the plastic gear and was told it wasn't a serviceable part and I would have to buy the whole governor assembly for $215!!!. I went to a transmission guy I know and he set me up with his buddy who does foreign transmission work and that guy set me up with just the gear for $8 (because he does a lot of these fixes!). You can't even believe how elated I am that this is over.
For the guy with the 92 Sentra, I used a flat bladed screw driver turning it so it contacted the raised portion of the cap and housing it wedged it up working my way around the cap. Once it raised up somewhat I could get the screw driver flat between the cap's edge and the housing and continued to pry it up and out, just be careful, I pinched the O-ring and cut it. The manual shows channel locks being used grasping the raised portion of the cap, and turning and twisting to get it off, which looks easier but I didn't have a set big enough. I had a piece of gear break off, and the transmission guy siad don't worry if it drops down into the transmission, it wont get tangled up where it drops into. Mine was a pretty big piece and it stayed in the shaft. With all the transmisson fluid I couldn't see it, but my governor wouldn't slip all the way down so I knew something was down there. I dont have one of the extractors ( the kind you push down a knob on the top of the tool and three or four little jaws come out the botton) so I had to drain the oil so I could see it and used a coat hanger, (straightened it out then bent it in half to make tweezers) and stuck that down the shaft and was able to extract the piece. Good luck, and remember - nismo pilot is the man!

if youre re-using the valve part and just replacing the gear, make sure you clean it out really good with some brake clean or degreaser, and then re-lube in tranny fluid before it goes back in, itll extend the life of the valve, glad to hear you got it figured out, let us know when its running again

Ok this has me excited. I was just going to junk the car but I can't do it until I give this a try...

Back on the road - first shot!
hopefully the photo shows the bad gear

[98blazerRI]

Ok I got mine out. Doesn't look quite as bad as yours but didn't look good. How do I get the gear off. Is there a secret on how to get that little pin out.

[kpring]

Take something equal in size (try a finishing nail, just grind the point flat) and hammer it through. Pin should come out fairly easy. The gears on mine were pretty ground down and I think that made it weakened to the point where a cold morning put enough stress on it that it fractured like it did.

FUCKING HILARIOUS!!! TWO MONKEYS FUCKING A FOOTBALL!!!
but glad you got it fixed anyway.

[98blazerRI]

OK bought a new gear and it seems a little longer than the original. Is this right? I put the gear on and it doesn't seem to go all the way down. I plan on cutting the gear to the same size as the original.

[98blazerRI]

Cut it down and got it to fit. Doesn't seem to be the problem. I am noticing it will shift to second but that is as far as it will go. Any other ideas?

Thanks
