This is my 2nd 4th gen max i have a 96 5 Speed maxima. Even my last maxima gave me the same problem. Going on high speed shifting from either 3rd to 4th or 4th to 5th my car 'sttutters' or take 'hiccups'. It become fines after doing that but its annoying as i cant keep a steading shifting the engine take 'hiccups' and looses some speed and then goes fine... i bet alot of people had the same problem please advice how can i get rid of this problem ?

I never had that problem on my 5speed. BTW, I did replace my coils on time before it started affecting my engine performance. I also have a new set of NGK-V plugs so check your plugs too. Sometimes, the hiccup occurs when you are shifting erratically, not releasing the clutch pedal smoothly. Even though you are at high speeds, quick and smooth clutch release is key.
