Dear fellow big bro,
I owned a 7 years old nissan sentra n16. Recently i notice there is a lapse (few seconds) when I engage the gear from P to D but R gear no problem.
This happens only when the engine is cold.
What could be the likely cause. Clutch plate wear or gear box problem.

In fact this happen after I change my gear box oil recently. If it's due to gear box oil then I think both forward gear and reverse gear will have the same problem.
The issue is I only encounter lapsed in engaging gear forward gear, P to D.

7 years. Mileage already clocked more than 200k.

Calling for expert help. Lately i encountered problem with my nissan sentra N16. The engine stalled suddenly on 2 separate occasion. I was lucky this happen when i was trying to park my car and in another occasion when the engine was idling. I cannot imagine if this happen when the car travelling on highway therefore i need to get it fix fast.

I learned from other forum that many Nissan Sentra encounter similar problem and this is due to sensor issue- cam and crank sensor. My car is 7 years old and clocked almost 200K mileage. I am wondering anyone encountering similar problem. Can some one help to point out what could be the possible cause and if indeed this is sensor issue, where can i get it diagnose and how would it cost to change the sensors.

Please help. Thanks

Im having problem with my nissan sentra n16. It's like having trouble to start the car, i mean the starter is struggling to crank the engine. Initially i tot this is due to battery problem and i changed my battery. It lasted for 2 weeks without any issue but again the problem came back. U need to start 4 to 5 times before the engine comes alive. What could be the possible root cause here. Can anyone help.
