I finally had my TCM replaced today. A few months ago I had the shift solenoids replaced, but the car still felt sluggish and sometimes hung on the 1-2 shift. I made about 5 WOT runs today and everytime it was perfect. The 2-3 shift also seems quicker to me. My car is waaayy out of warranty(94k+), but nissan payed for it under goodwill! If your auto has the slow/hanging shift problem doesnt hurt to go to the dealer and try. Its like driving a whole new car again. Thank you Nissan! There is no way I could afford to replace both those. I thought i was gonna be stuck with a poor shifting tranny for a few years.

 

I wish all dealers were so nice around here. Or at least one.

 

must be a midwest thing because they suck in MD too!

 

Which dealership in Cleveland. I live in Akron and it would be nice to know where to go to get good service when needed.

not fair! i wish my dealer had that kind of courtesy! even though i have the 100K bumper to bumper (AND im under 36K) they still give me hell about covering anything under warranty!! grr...

 

I had the same problem and changed my solinoids and TCM. The car shifts perfect now, but I had to pay out of pocket for mine. 475 for TCM and 350 for the solinoids. The dealer over here would have no part of fixing it.

 

it probably doesnt hurt that i know some people there....i also fixed their service computer once for free. so i think they put in a good word for me

 

I have a similar thing happening but figured it was just part of the experience. About a 1-2 second delay in automatic shift from 1st to 2nd...like it doesn't want to catch. Is replacing TCM good for this? If so, what is normal cost (part+labor)?

 

The TCM you can do yourself its behind the sterio. The solinoids I had a tranny shop change them. It cost about 225 to change the solinoids and flush the tranny.
