02 1.0 auto problem reving higher than normal - spuds
can anyone help with a problem our nissan micra 2002 1.0 auto has developed. it starts no problem and like normal when getting warm it holds itself in a lower gear to keep the revs high to warm up faster. but unlike normal when it is at normal temp it just wants to keep reving at higher revs. example
if at 30mph its at 1400 revs for no reason it jumps upto 2000revs and still doing 30mph and more often than not will not engage final drive ( 5th gear ). now i know to chech the level of gear oil which i did. and it was not pink so i have changed the oil and its not pink but still i have this problem. if i was a betting man id say if this was my twist n go scooter that the belt is slipping and thus not moving the variator out far enough to engage its last gear postion. thanks for reading
