Stuck in first gear auto.
Hi Guys,
New to the site and having a issue with my transmission on my 2000 Maxima in Australia. Today the transmission has gone from great and smooth to not changing out of first gear. I read on another site that you can reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery for 15 mins to reset the shift points. I did this and it worked for about 3 kilometers then back to the old problem. All fuses are ok. Could this be a shift solenoid or speed sensor problem. Any advice welcome. By the way, fluid is in good order with no burnt smell.

1st Gear
Hi Guys from Australia,
I am new to the site and have had a problem with our 2000 Maxima or as they are known here a 5th generation. Today our transmission has gone from its usual smooth shifting unit to staying in 1st gear and not changing at all. I read on a site that the ECU can be reset by disconnecting the battery for 15mins to reset the shift points. I did this and it came back to its old self , only to last about 3 kilometers then back to 1st again. No dash code lights or any other issues. Fluid appears good, not burnt and level is correct. Could this be a speed sensor or shift solenoid problem? Speedo and entire dash is working normally. We have only had this car for a week and have already had to change the starter motor. Any help appreciated. Rob

When mine acts up like this, I do a quick hard rev and it fixes it. Usually afterwards if my SES light was off, it will come on. My O/D light flashes about 16 times as well upon start up.
