Check the
Vehicle Speed Sensor The vehicle speed sensor (VSS) (Figure 43) is a variable reluctance or Hall-effect sensor that generates a waveform with a frequency that is proportional to the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is moving at a relatively low velocity, the sensor produces a signal with a low frequency. As the vehicle velocity increases, the sensor generates a signal with a higher frequency. The PCM uses the frequency signal generated by the VSS (and other inputs) to control such parameters as fuel injection, ignition control, transmission/transaxle shift scheduling and torque converter clutch scheduling. That same VSS signal is use for the tachometer as well !

The most common transmission problem on a Nissan pickup is operating the truck with the transmission fluid low. Nissan owners needs to pull the dip-stick and see if the level is low. The fluid level must be checked when the truck engine is idling. Nissan pickup owners also need to look at the color of the fluid and see if it needs to be changed or just leveled off. The color must be transparent and not black or brownish in color. The owner must also smell the transmission fluid to see if the fluid smells burnt. If the transmission fluid smells burnt, then the transmission fluid must be changed as soon as possible. Over-filling the transmission fluid level also creates Nissan pickup transmission problems.

It sounds like the transmission fluid pump has stopped working correctly to generate the correct amount of hydraulic pressures to shift into 1,2,3,4 ect. Try having the pump replaced. Or it may be the transmission shifting cable. Either way a mechanic should do this. Thanks for asking!

Do you have an automatic transmission? Do you also notice a delay when shifting from Park to Reverse or Drive?

If so, check the fluid. Low or dirty fluid can cause the transmission to slip. Eventually, low or dirty fluid will damage the transmission.

If the fluid level is low, you may have a leak. Check the area where you park to see if there are any oil spots.

If the transmission hasn't been serviced recently, you may want to drain the old fluid out and replace the filter, instead of just topping off the fluid.

It's also possible that you have a problem with your torque converter. But start by checking the fluid and see if that fixes your problem.

Hi, this is a low fluid issue or, you may have ran it dry, in return, causing gear damage. check the fluid level asap and, if it is low or dry, you will need to add fluid asap.

This may be corrected by just adding fluid but, it may have damaged the internals due to the heat generated by the low lubricant situation.

okay. there could be a couple of problems with your transmission.
1). it's quite possible that the clutch discs inside of your transmission have finally burned out. Hyundai has been known for making faulty transmissions for the accent for the first generation models.
2). if the car doesn't go in first gear, try driving it in normal mode and not economy. the accent purposely pulls in second gear in economy mode, when warmed up, in order to get into the high 30 mpgs.
3). faulty shift control solenoid. These have also been known to be defective with the first generation accent (1995-1999).
4). Your transmission fluid leaked out, prior to the mechanic fixing it, and the high heat building up in the transmission as well as the low amount of fluid in the transmission helped to burn it out.
for options 1 and 4, you wont know the actual problem unless you pull the transmission out and examine all of the clutch discs.
hope this helps...

check fluid level od is first to go when fluid gets low
