2nd to 3rd gear slip (over rev)
Could a bad speed sensor cause the transmission to slip when shifting into 3rd? (it goes into neutral for a second then shifts)
New fluid, new filter, had a flush.
It slips 1 out of 10 times.

You don't need to upgrade or fix anything except for the VB.

Sorry, I'm not sure.
Someone else will need to chime in on approximate cost on that.
Transmission guy must not know crap about Maximas.
Try another shop where they shut up and do what you tell them to.

Just bought this: TRG-RE4F04B-HD2
(http://www.summitracing.com/parts/trg-re4f04b-hd2)
How bad is 1st to 2nd shift at redline? I already need a new transmission mount and engine mount!
Hopefully the shop says they can install it!!
Thank you everyone for your help! Miss this place. My car has been broken and un drive-able for 2 years now.

Save yourself some money and fix your own mounts if it looks like something you can do.

VB mod should remedy this. I had this flare up from 1-2 @ 37k, got a VB at 40k, and I'm at 155k and it hasn't shown up since, in 10 years/115k. Solid and crisp as a rock, and very clean fluid.

Had a tranny shop open up the trans. My 3rd gear clutch was shot as well as some seals he said. Had him replace all the clutches and whatever other parts were worn.
kept the shift kit.
getting car today. should have fixed the issue.
Motor mount and trans rebuild $2020
Sorry all but the shift kit may fix some peoples issues, but it did not fix mine

I am totally regretting the HD2 kit.
I do NOT recommend it to anyone.
The 1st - 2nd shift is STUPID. The car jerks and my seat shakes.. every single time.
The transmission seems to be running hot.. dipstick is hot.
Paying to have the valve body returned to stock very soon.
Heads up to all..
Hope all the rough shifts didnt damage my newly rebuilt transmission..

^^ Hm, I'm not sure why all the issues. But maybe the regular kit is better for most people after all 
I think it really depends on the health of your tranny and TC when you put the HD2 kit in, whether it will work well or not. If the tranny is already in bad shape, not surprising in that case that it works like crap.
I have no 2-3 flare, and there is zero issues of shifting 1-2, unless at WOT you dont even feel 1-2 its so smooth most of the time.
