Nissan Juke Common Problems and Solutions
Gearbox problems
Problem:
It is known on the Juke for the gearbox to struggle engaging some of the gears. It seems to be the case for first and fifth gears. A number of other problems could cause it.
Solution:
Sometimes, it just takes a bit time for the gearbox to settle in and the changes become smoother as the gearbox is warming up. There have been cases where a replacement gearbox was needed. Take it to a dealer to get it checked out for the exact cause of the problem.
