95 Maxima slipping automatic tranny help.
Well I guess i got what i deserved. Theirs a long straight country street by my house, it is about 35 degreese outside and motor is a little warmed up. Well its rainly out here and i put my car in 1st gear and floored it at 20mph roll and it burned out on the wet cement all the way to the top of 2nd gear. after that the car seemed OK.
Well not till i came to a complete stop i realised the tranny was slipping badly off the start. it does it in Reverse and in drive, i can let off my brake and give the car gas untill 1500RPMS it starts to barely move and then after 1800 it takes off normal. In reverse its the same problem.
Whats going on? Did i mess the tranny up?

well first off how many miles on the tranny?
and did you change the fluid regularly?
if you change the fluid/filter at it's intervals, it's going to last for while.
i've beat the crap out of my tranny when i had my 3rd gen.
and it had 174k on it.
check your fluid level and condition. if it's dark looking and smells burnt well the tranny could be gone. also your shifter could be out of whack too. if it's off your gonna get the same results.

When i got the car 5 months ago I changed the 2 CV Axcels and added 2 quarts ATF Fluid. i forgot what kind it was but they said the book recommended it for my car. Not sure if this is original tranny or not but car and motor has 266XXX miles. the tranny still shifted like it was brand new the entire time i had it. i put more than 8000 miles on it since ive had it without a problem with it.
The other day i did a burnout and the tranny would NOT shift out of 2nd gear, it took off from 2nd gear and never left 2nd gear untill i turned the car off and back on. that scared me so i drove it soft the next few days. now this lol.

ur clutch plates are prolly tac welded... but yeah, it could be in limp mode and you just seem to be giving us odd information.. also your car wasnt stuck in 2nd it was in 3rd. thats limp mode. your TCM could be fried, your planets could be gone theres a million things that could be wrong.. actually more like thousands. Anyways, Stop doing burnouts in the rain, thatll throw her in limp mode.

so maybe if i disconnect the battery and reconnect it will fix? if so no more burnouts for the maxi unless i do 5spd swap. if not ill see what a transmission tech thinks about it becuase i dont know a thing about automatics.
Thanks for input tho.

When it happened i drove it from the grocery store home which is less than 0.5 miles. i dont wanna drive it until i check the fluids tomorrow. but i check the fluids every few days and when i last checked it it was still full and clean. unless it leaked out all the fluid all of a sudden it should be good. if alls good ill try disconnecting the battery and go test drive it.
ill let yall know how it goes tomorrow.

dude, hate to say you got what you deserved, but you can't do burnouts on wet roads with autos. the fluid could be perfect, but the torque converter could very well be fried. plus, putting dextron tranny fluid in is a no-no. you dont top off unless its low, and then i would change it with level 4 trans fluid. 2 just eats up the gears. and, give her a break, imagine being 75 and someone making you run in place in the rain as fast as you can until you had a stroke...

Well, this morning i dissconnected my battery for 10 minutes and then started it and checked tranny fluid and it was a tad bit over the full cold line when idleing.
Took it to a tranny tech and we went on a test drive he said it was driving like it was low on fluid but its not. then half way through the test drive it stops slipping completely. now its back to normal he didn't know what to say about that lol.
What could of happened? i drove it 52 miles today and after that test drive it hasn't slipped not once. maybe my sensors in motor making tranny mess up?

you mean i'm slow at pulling it out.
i said it takes me about an hour and 30 minutes.
and travis that is odd. unless your filter is clogged. or either your tcu was'nt doing something right.
when i had first gotten my 4th gen i only had 1st and 2nd or either 1st or 3rd. or all 3.
in park you could rev the car either cause it was still in gear.
and one day just like that...it gave out...somewhat.
got her home.
and put it in reverse...it worked like a charm no slipping or nothing. lol!

Well it started slipping today. i was driving it for awhile and i didn't notice it till i caught a red light. and when i took off it slipped then took off. after 5 mins it stopped doing it out of nowhere.
could it be a clogged tranny filter?

Well, I had my CEL checked today and i had one new code.
The transmission tech gave me a paper that says. Code No:P0600-ECM recieves incorrect voltage from A/T Control unit continuously.
The transmission tech said he thinks i need to change my Gauge cluster because he once had a maxima in the years ago that had same problem and they replaced gauge cluster and solved problem.
Well i messed my cluster up tryin to put my white faced gauges on.
So what do you guys say? replace it and see what happens? has anyone had this problem?
Thanks guys!

no offense homey, but uh most hondas uses the speedo gauge to get a reading from the trans. and shift points. and some have a speed sensor.
if your speed sensor was bad on your max you ses or check engine light would be on.
you can replace your cluster to fix the broken speedo needle. but it wont get rid of that code.

CHANGE OUT YOUR TCM, ITS LOCATED BEHIND the radio ITS an silver looking box with a large harness attached to it, it should say m1 or something like that on it. That the tranny computer right there. If that goes bad your car goes into 3rd gear and stays there aka limp mode, this might help you

I took out my Radio the other day and put it back in expecting loose wires cause it went out. well maybe i knocked the clip loose or something when i had it all apart.

Well the problems continue with tranny. i dropped the tranny pan and changed the transmission filter and gasket and the fluid was still new so i used it and threw in a court of lucas stop slip.
well tranny still doing same stuff. it will randomely slip 1st gear till like 5mph and 1500rpms and reverse slips.
it sometimes hits hard when i take off from a light because it goes to 3000RPM's and then catchs the gear and jerks and takes off fast.
The transmission tech told me put new speed gauge in i did. no change, i put new filter and lucas in and same stuff. im gonna see what else he says for me to do tommarow.
But i want to see what you guys think about this problem im having. the tech has been in business and owned for 20 years and hes never seen this problem. he told me its taking off in reverse and drive like a standard. if i slowly give it gas it will feel and sound like a standard.
Whats going on guys? thanks alot for ANY input.

you can also use the trans from a 96-99 I30t, but it has VLSD and uses different axles.

travis no offense but your mechanic,whose been in the auto game for 20 years, told you to replace you gauge cluster, thats a red flag right there.
not all imports are the same.
also if you do decide to grab a lsd tranny from an i30 make sure you get the driver side axle too.
i had to get one, cause the maxima that i got the tranny out of had the i30 one.
oh it's worth it too imo.
