This is my 1st thread and want to thank you for your help.

I've read that the automatic transmission (1992 Maxima, sorry I don't know the engine but NOT an SE) is not really soft on this model. But mine is weird. When the engine is cold (this morning by example (-10c)) everything is ok, but when the engine is hot and I RESTART the engine, the third gear (the worst) give a kick. I tried to give more gas, less gas, remove the overdrive, switch the power/comfort and nothing better...

PLEASE help me

 

so you've got burnt fluid.
change it and hope that you didn't burn the clutches too

 

you could always try some lucas tranny fluid or auto glass not a long term fix but a quick fx it will help a little i know its ment for a auto tranny but we put it in my friends probe when he burtn the cluth and it worked for a little bit till we could drop a noew one oh yeha this guy ^ hes really smart to listenin to him

pssst... he's got an automatic trans

 

how would fluid help a burnt clutch, as long as your input shaft seal is good?

 

I did a 5-speed swap on a 94 ve and im having problems with the clutch slipping. Ive put a new flywheel in a new clutch and still once it gets warm the thing just slips like crazy. Ive already gone through 3 clutches trying to figure out wat the problem was and NOTHING! Does anyone know what could be doing this? maybie the hydrolic lines? Well somone please help! OH and also it starts to slip most when it warm and i press the gas pedel all the way down. thanks in advance

 

TO bearing maybe

 

does anyone else know maybie someone whos done a swap before?

 

talk about thread hijacking.. guys, the guy who started this thread has an automatic.. in case you missed it :-)

 

ohh.. duh.. LOL........i would say try some tranny honey... (lucas) it might help.. it might not.....it seems like you are geting "morning sickness" which is when you turn it off and turn it back on it acts up or when you first start going on a cold morning.. it acts up

 

definitly change the fluid.....it hurts the tranny sometimes cause the old fluid holds crap which helps the clutches grib..so new fluid will make a slippping tranny slip worse.
but thata not your case.
maybe something inside...
is there a seperate relay for each gear? I heard of the gears not enguaging right because of electronic problems ...maybe get a scanner on it and see what it says?

 

Ok the oil is changed and basically everything is new. I have hooked any of the electrical wiring up since i swaped it but, would that make any diffrence since its not an auto any more? Please help i might have to sell it! the transmission guys dont even know what to do...

 

To the thread starter:
You need to get your transmission fluid flushed and the problem should be helped if not completely solved.

To the guy with a slipping clutch:
Did you make sure to break-in your clutch properly?

 

Ya the transmission guys are asking me to get help from the ORG, cuz they dont know much about 5-speed swaps

 

did they completely change the fluid? and you could get an atf cooler to help the tranny.

A 5 speed swap isnt that hard, theres info in the stickies.

Hi,
I know I'm a newbie as far as this site is concerned but have been around the block with a nissan or two.
The guy with the auto trans acting weird "The automatic"- If and I mean if you put tranny honey it and it happens to help at all WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT" all you are doing is a very short term fix to a serious problem.
The reason why your your tranny is working fine cold is because of the fluid temp and viscosity- cold fluid means thicker fluid, which does not bypass seals and bad clutches as quickly, giving you the feeling of a good trans, once warmed up the fluid easily bypasses seals which brings on lower pressure to your clutches causing your problem.
Your proper fix is to overhaul or replace with used - depending on the extent of damage in your current trans once torn down.

and your engine is a VG30E
