Just curious, do you race your car or power-shifting the auto-tranny?

Or you can do this... start the engine select reverse and left leg on brake (push hard) and right leg on the gas... push hard the gas and your car jump like horse (I did about 7-8 times) and will be fine but for 2-3 weeks and you can try again and again and again.... (depends)... but its better to go to the dealer

this prevents the car from lurching forward or reverse when the tranny engages around 2000-3000rpm (my tranny was slipping a few weeks ago too )

UPDATE!

Both 02 sensors are bad and will be replaced.

Dealer said they ran the car from 0-90mph with no slip! WTF? Do they run it on a dyno?

Dealer said they could not replicate the reverse problem. I told them keep trying, there IS a problem!

I asked them to do a line pressure test, they told me if it is ok it will cost me. The last tranny that had the EXACT same problem had low line pressure so I may bit the bullet.

same dealer?

I would leave my car there overnight and tell them to check it the next day since the problems occur more often during cold start.

Ya no $hit! At this rate I might as well just boost the $hit out of it!!!

[maxi-overdose]: Same dealer that replaced it last time.

Update: Asking Nissan corp to pay for any tests needed to be done to find the problem. They are contacting the dealership to resolve this.

Ok I am getting two new 02 sensors but the tranny will not duplicate the problem for the dealer. Line pressure is ok, stall at 2200rpm.
