Alright, im running in 2nd up until just before redline so i shift to third and nothing. I just totally lose all acceleration. Is it the transmission, me, or is it just the way the car is? Its like third gear is fifth. The rpms never get up fast 2500 no matter how fast i go. No, im not shifting into fifth. Thats what my dad thinks it is but it isn't, I know how to drive. The car is kinda old but isn't the maxima geared to pull hardest in second? I have more pull in fourth than third.
