I own a 99 Maxima ES 5 speed. At low speed it bucks when you back off the gas. This is identical to the problems reported by 5th generation Max's where there is a TSB out on the fuel cut problem.
Any one else have this problem?

 

I don't understand what you're trying to say. If you say the transmission is bucking, then what does the TSB on a fuel cut problem have to do with the transmission...unless it's the engine that's creating the bucking.

 

OK. The engine causes the bucking but the impression you get is that a jerk goes through the transmission. The service rep at my Nissan dealer tried to say it was a clutch problem. I repeat, the symptoms are exactly what is being reported by 2000-2001 Maxima owners. There is a TSB to solve a fuel cut problem, but it only applies to 5th generation machines.

 

Ahhh, my moms 98 did that and I never liked it. Now, my 95 is doing it too! Both autos. I hope you find out what it is! Mine just now started doing it about a week ago.

 

Mine has always done it. . . I think it is a normal thing on these cars as I know a couple 4th and 5th gen owners with the same problem. . . It is annoying, but it only happens at really low speeds and it doesn't happen all the time, at least not in my car.

 

same here.....i sometimes feel like accelerating does it too.....
