2k3 3rd grind???
i have a 2k3 it just broke 11,000 yesterday and i've been somewhat concerned with the shifting..Its been like this for a while but i always forgot to address it to .org members and well whenever i am at a high speed and want to get on it a little.. I down shift to 3rd and ONLY 3 rd gear and it makes a grinding sound...i have no clue why it is doing this...maybe the teeth are worn out? i don't understand how this could be i don't grind or miss my shifts so what could it be? all input could be helpful?

i used to have the same problem on my 2k2. i cant say that i know the reason for it but i ended up having my transmission replaced by the dealer free of charge. the new tranny has not had any similar problems.

MIne grinds 2nd/3rd and fourth in both my 2k2/ and my 2k3..
I used REdline MT90, Amsoil 2000 and Nissan OIL.. No luck... Both cars, same tranny, same problems.
I have driven 3 other 2k3's. Same crap.
Learn to live with it until it goes BOOM.. 7years 160K warranty will cover it

Hmm.. here is the break down.
2k2 Maxima 6speed
0-20,000kms - Nissan fluids - SUCKED @SS
20,000kms - 33,000kms (R.I.P) Amsoil Series 2000 - major improvement for the first 5 K then back to the same old crappy shifting.
2k3 Maxima
0-10,000kms - Nissan @ss fluid - sucks crap
10,000kms - 30,000kms - Redline MT90 - Much improved shifting - cold weather not tested - still grinding
30,000kms - 37,000kms (current) - Amsoil Series 2000 - Same as MT90 - a littel better when warm, grind bizatch when cold.
GOing to go back to MT90 to see
