My 1982 Auto transmission Maxima diesel will shift from 1st to 2nd but not from 2nd to 3rd. It was about a quart low on tranny fluid but is topped up now. This is my first slushbox. 140,000 miles. Any ideas?

Your email to me must have gotten lost in the spam storm (I get ~120 spam emails/day). Please re-send it, and be sure to put "Datsun" in the Subject, or it could get deleted again.
I met you briefly at the 6th Annual Seattle BioDiesel Conference a couple of weeks ago. Sorry we didn't talk longer -- I was trying to stay focused on the panel discussions, and they had no breaks! I sat for six hours!
It's likely that one of those threads will give you the clue you need: vacuum leak somewhere.

Al,
I found and patched the same hole in the vacuum line as in the photo - I guess the electrical tape must have fallen off! It shifts fine now.
The HVAC fan started working after I fixed the vacuum link. It seems to be electric, but could the fan actuator be vacuum connected? Or is it a coincidence?
I will spend some time in the car to see if I love it enough. If not I iwll be selling it.
Thanks for your help.
