thank god for BG44K

after reading all about on this forum, i bought a can of it ($19.99) for my local nissan dealer. i had been experiencing hesitation and slowness in the car but after i put the cleaner in....big difference. it took a quarter of the tank for me to really notice it. however i still feel my tranny shift hard whenever im driving but its more noticeable <35 and that gets annoying. its gotten to the point where i sense it coming. any suggestions on how to stop it? TIA.

your tranny is on its way out.. if u have extended warranty just wait a little more to get worse then take it to the dealer for a new tranny under warranty

IS there a difference between BG44K and fuel injector cleaner?

trans and labor is $3600.00

take the car to get looked at, maybe the trans solenoids are defective. those are cheaper to remedy than an entire trans....

I might have a auto tranny for sale from a 2000 SE that I converted from AUTO to a 6spd manual. The Owner of the car will be selling his old auto basically to recover some of the cost. Since I'm waiting on a starter and a trans mount on his conversion that I did.... we are not going to sell the tranny yet till hes happy with his 6spd. No one has done a conversion on a 5th gen yet so its unknown what trouble I'm getting into till it starts up.

I like the sig picture, but what are you doing with the speedometer pegged out man??? Don't you know the cops with their Crown Vics can run you down!

That was me testing out my old SE-R with only 450WHP for that run- it would hit the rev limiter- 8600RPM in 5th like nothing. No Crown Vics where hurt in process- the speedo goes to 150 in that SE-R btw
