Hi Robert,

My 2018 Nissan Titan's gearbox has been quite harsh recently and itâ€™s tough to shift gears. Iâ€™ve heard that low transmission fluid could cause this: what do you think?

Thanks,
James

Hi, James!

It does sound like your 2018 Nissan Titanâ€™s transmission has a problem. There are a number of issues which could cause this, but having low fluid in your gearbox is the most common culprit.

If your transmission fluid is low it wonâ€™t produce enough hydraulic pressure to engage the gears. This would explain the shifting problem you're experiencing.

Low transmission fluid could also cause your gearbox to overheat so itâ€™s a problem you shouldnâ€™t let linger.

You can check your truck's fluid levels via the dipstick in the engine compartment: your transmission is a closed system so it should never be low.

If your fluid is low, it could indicate that your vehicle has a leak somewhere. In this instance, you should call down to our Service Department and let the Technicians have a look.

Thanks for the question, James! Please donâ€™t hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you ever need anything else.
