Mine was like that until I had the clutch replaced.

I think our Turkish member has a four speed automatic transmission.

If so, he should use the search feature and look up automatic......

Other members have posted about this problem in the past, if I recall.

Yes it is automatic, like what you said, İ have read some past posts and learn about transmission resistor can cause this hard shifting.

İs this okay with my 2.0 liter maxima ? Should I change this ?

Are these same part because it looks like that ?

A15 000L00 7626 (This is what İ have now )

31037-71L00

Do you have the 4 cylinder engine?

I'm thinking that you may have different transmission parts as well.

We on this forum are far from experts. Just a collection of people who help each other and share what we know.

I have the V6 2.0 Liter 24 Valve 140 Hp by the way you can see my car photo of my last post about low rpm. I have installed there. I want you too look at it.

Your car has a different engine than what most of us have. it is also intended for a different market. It is possible, even likely, that not all parts will be exactly the same. Specific parts,such as inside an automatic transmission might have different part numbers in Turkey than in the USA.

Some auto parts search engines ask which country you are in.

Solenoids for shifting are worn or the clutch packs inbetween the gears are worn. Exchange fluid for full synthetic about 10 liters. Also add an external automatic transmission fluid cooler.

The number that you found on the resistor (31037-71L00) is the same for the U.S. cars. You can measure the resistance of the resistor with an ohm meter. It should measure between 10 and 15 ohms. I think that the resistor is OK because all gears would shift hard if the resistor was bad.

If you are going to use a transmission oil cooler, it is your choice for custom fit or universal. They would both work equally well. Custom fit would be easier to install but would probably cost more money.

If you would like to look up part numbers for your car, here is a link:

The resistor is on this page:

Bar and plate designed for auto trans. They have a bypass for when the fluids too cold. Tube and fin is better than nothing.

Thanks for all information, is there any part number for custom fit or any advice for universal one ?

Low engine performance really causes a noticabley mushy shift in the re4f4o. Knock sensor will do it big time
