my 2001 maxima... is currently being treated at the e.r. :-(.... automatic tranny problem... my guess is my torque convertor gone bad as well as tranny is slipping.... thank god i bought this car from the honda dealer... yes i no .... honda dealer.... but wit that 5 year bumper to bumper warranty.... mannn i am unstoppable... ok let me stop... but basically iam takin my car to the dealer to get it fix... and my 5 year bumper to bumper warranty started this past september wen i bought it... oh well... any ideas how this mite have happened... please post....

first gear won't drive until it reached 50 to 55 hund. rpm kicks in hard in to 2nd gear... and jus red lines doesn't go any further than 2nd gear...

 

Damn, shoulda gotten stick.

 

honestly its hard to find em... and wen i do find em... its with 99,000 to like 120,000 for like 11 thousand bucks... i bought this for 13 thousand it had 57,000 miles... and i had a family friend working there...

 

how hard is it to do a manual tranny swap in this car....?

 

Wow, i'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure once they fix it, it'll be good as new so you know the history of it. Start fresh.

 

i like you... hearin that makes my heart beat better ... *smiling* yet still sad

 

Manual tranny swap? ahh guna cost you a bunch...deff not worth it..you gota change the whole tranny so mayb like a few thousand..stick wit auto then.

 

welll if they do put in a new tranny... i was planning on asking them if they can do a manual tranny swap... i have warranty on the car... so either way... they are still goin to fix the car regardless for free from my understanding... but i was wondering that i can throw in that idea of having it manual... but it's jus an idea... i don't no of any problems they wood come across into doing this

 

it would cost more money to swap everything out. I had a transmission replaced on an old honduh and i was wondering the same thing..but the way it worked for me was because it was automatic..i got an automatic..if i wanted manual..it would cost alot more.

i'm assuming that if you did ask them for a swap they would tell you that swapping isn't under the warrenty and would cost u the full price of a replacment and a swap where fixing the auto would be free.

 

ya i suppose i can stick wit that and save the money for suttin else

 

I would be much sadder if the car wasn't under a warranty...then you would be sad and broke.

 

gotta love an auto magic. i got one lets my other hand be free to explore female passengers. he he he he he

I'm going to the dealer tomorrow with the same problems. My tc has trouble engaging when it is cold outside, then always jerks the car when I hit the brakes and pass through 39mph. My trans also shifts crappy too, not as bad as yours, but the shifts aren't smooth. Good luck with yours.

 

Sorry to hear that. Should be able to get it fixed. I was considering the tranny swap but decided to stay w/ automatic. There was actually a recall on 98' maximas purchased from my dealer at that time (2002) due to tranny issues. Good luck though.

 

lol thanx guys

 

Yea, anyone know about how much an auto-manual conversion would cost? I'm thinking about doing it in a few years.

 

id say about 1500-2500 depending on where you buy parts and get it done

 

mmmm not bad but maybe more expensive

 

to do the auto to manual swap wouldnt one need the trans, slave cylinder, all hard and soft lines, ecu, pedal assembaly, clutch flywheel, axels(not sure about axels)shifter, boot, ****, etc..... the way i figure it wouldnt the parts alone be over $4000 PLUS labor??????

 

5 or more grand for sure

 

well labor you can do it yourself if you know what you're doing. The parts can be that cheap if you go to junkyards and stuff like that. Brand new parts would cost much more so yeah probably around 3-4k.
