Ok I've had this car for 2 years now it will not switch to 4th gear at all it's not the oil being to low eather..... I've brought it up to 110mph and it just stays there. If I let off the gas at 85mph it goes to 4th gear but then right back to 3rd before I can even get on the gas. Please help it will be a big gas saver lol.

The 3rd to 4th clutch pack is probably fucked up. Mom does the same thing with first and second cause I got a blown bearing in my 1st to 2nd clutch pack

Hard fix?

Well you'd gotta rebuild the trans and replace it. Or do what I'm doing and swap in a 5speed.

You got the ca20e? If so you can rock a KA trans from a 240sx. Just use the CA bellhousing. It'll be cheaper to possibly get one shipped than a whole trans.

Can I use the 240 clutch peaces or do I have to use 200 peaces?

It depends on what transmission you use.

V6 and late model 4cyl(I think) use the same FS5W71C tranny as the 240 so yeah.

I tried doing that before posting this. Couldn't find anything on it

Pretty much (people correct me if wrong) ull need a s13 trans but the manual CA bell housing. S12 master/slave cylinder. Front half of the s13 driveshaft. Shifter hole will have to be extended some. I know I'm missing some things but asking around will find u those.
