Odd question for those who managed to have the dealer perform the TSB, did you notice a dramatic improvement in the way the tranny shifted? And if so, how long did it last? Reason I'm asking is, little over a month ago, I had the TSB performed. While I did notice the improvement, it didn't seem to last, if anything as the time passed, the hesitation has actually gotten a little worse. I have an appointment tomorrow to have this looked at, I'm not holding my breath but at this point, anything over what I have now is an improvement.

 

Actually looking again at the tsb, i recall that they replaced the solenoids, as per TSB, but I'm not sure they did anything with the TCM, maybe thats next?

 

i had my soleniods replaced around 12k and it cured almost all of the slippage. i had the tcm replaced right before my 3yr/36k was up with the most updated tcm just in case. be sure to also check the fluid level and condition.

 

Thats really weird, I had taken in my 2k about two months ago...and the dealership took the car for a test drive. The mechanic had a comp. hooked up to the ECU and printed out all the gear timings. They finally told me that the gears were in spec>!>>! I still have the same problem though! It's delayed shifting from first to second.

I appreciate my 2k2 maxima over the 2k because of this problem. Otherwise 2k all the way (mainly because it's better insulated)!!!



EDIT: messed up on spelling

 

I was told the same thing, but they are going ahead and replacing the TCM anyway, since the TSB recommends it.
I must say though, I did get a tranny flush done a couple of days prior to taking the car in. It seems the day I had it done, I didnt feel any difference, however in the days following I definitely felt an improvement in the way the car shifts. With my powertrain warranty running out in the next 1k miles, and the Warranty Gold policy currently in limbo, I'm figuring may as well have it replaced now, then worry about it later.
