Does it seem to bog down when in reverse as you accelerate? If so the trans maybe stuck in forward gear (mechanical problem) resulting in both forward & rev being applied.

SOURCE: Nissan 300zx no reverse or 4th gear.

Hi,
The first place I would look is the shift linkage for wear and a sloppy connection from wear.
adjustments may be made as a possible fix on the linkage rod.
Glad to be of assistance - Please rate the response - I can learn from your rating. Thank you

SOURCE: I can't shift into reverse. All other 5 gears are

My VW is not shifting into reverse at all; I think a certain person was driving and mistakenly pressed the gear shifter down for all gears--reverse is the only gear you press the shifter down first in. Doesn't grind, 1 2 3 and 4 work but no reverse no reverse lights.
I've read several complicated (can't see scenario's) posts on screens and linkage and a cable fixed one guys problem but still no solutions.

V6 3.3L The sensor is located underneath the air intake manifold on top of the engine block. This should take an experienced mechanic about 3-4 hours to replace.

2001 Nissan Xterra 5 speed manual 4x4 wont won't shift into 2nd, 4th, or reverse.

Probably issues with Shift Solenoids. You need a transmission specialist or an auto electrician with a pro grade bi-directional scan tool computer that can tell the solenoids to operate and confirm that they did. Or it is the powertrain module that is at fault.

I drive a 2001 Nissan Xterra. Noticed that the middle part of the compressor is not turning to work the A/C Meaning no cool air..how do I get the compressor going again?

check the fuses and relay to ac compressor. if relay is bad the ac clutch will not engage. if its getting power and still will not work, it may be the clutch mecanisim is bad.

My 2000 xterra will not fully engage into 4wd. I can feel it shift, but the front wheels will not lock...

When was the last time you shifted to 4WD?

If you do not use 4wd too often then try this old trick.

Next time you're going off road try to do the shift to 4WD,shift to reverse and drive in reverse for 6-12 feet.
(no gas //1 mph //SLOWLY)

Driving backward for few feet help the gear pickup the lubrication and let the gear sync up better.

Check your Xterra gearbox lube schedule.

Whining noise when engaging 1st or reverse.

i had a nissan pickup that would whine in all gears except 4th...it started out with 1st then reverse then went to the rest...solution was new transmission...or rebuild cause the syncronizers or the gears them selves are being chewed up...the new transmission was cheaper then a rebuild. or take it to somewhere that will do free diag on the transmission.
