Title: Running at gear 2 for a long distance :-(
Post by: dennis64 on December 07, 2011, 11:58:11 AM

Came back from midnight flight last night and without knowing, I placed my car on gear 2 and run for at least 20 min  :crycry:  Thinking that the car was not been run for at least a week and it was behaving abnormally.  Actually, it was the driver  :out: .  Noticed that after running from Simei to east coast park and immediately changed to D.

Will there be any damage to the car?

Tks!

What's your average speed when you at gear 2 ? High RPM and engine noise ?

Speed of 70 at gear 2 still under redline, so not to worry.

Dear all,

Thanks for the information.  I sent in my ride to Nissan for maintenance yesterday and they have checked my gear box.  Tested ok  ::)  But, I have another nail in the same tire (3rd holes alread)   :devil2:  Wonder why I keep having nails on that same tire.  Suspect someone is doing the damage. 

Anyway, I am happy that my ride is ok after the ******** drive on 2nd gear.
