A/T additives?

Does anyone know if its good to put additives to A/T, I am not sure if I have a 4 speed or a 3 speed with O/D (am sure I have O/D) sometimes when I push the pedal it kind of hesitates before conecting the speed after 2nd.

Thanks for your comments

Have you already put any additives into your tranny?? If so what are they?

BTW you have a 4 spd auto, not sure if Maxima's ever came with a 3 spd, maybe on the 1st gens...

3spd with O/D = 4 speed

oh, IIRC the 1st gen also had a 4speed. (mines been gone 10yrs)

you can try to add some lucas, but most additives won't help if it's an actual mechanical failure.

there is a solenoid pack in the trans, I believe, the 2nd shift solenoid may be sticking.
those are my ideas of the moment

I Haven't Done Any Aditives, Made A Oil Change With Dextron Iii For I Recently Bought Car W 95k Miles And Oil Look Dark. It Also Had A Bad Shift Position So Am Not Sure If No Oil Change Or Missuse Damaged Transmition. So Again If There Is No Pressure It Kind Of Make An Deficient Change After Second And At Full Pedal It Kind Of Holds Rpms Before The Last Shift.

Thanks For Reply

Mine is doing something similar. It shifts beautifully when accelerating, but every so often when there is no pressure on the pedal while coasting, and pressure is reapplied it will get confused about what gear to go in. heh
