I have noticed that when it is cold out, my tranny starts to slip. But when it warms up again, everything works fine. I did have the fluid flushed at about 60,000 miles. Any insight??

Thanks

 

Could you explain a little more about how it "slips" when cold?

 

I mean when its cold outside. The engine could be warm but the ambient temp is usually about 49 or less when it starts to act up. I could be sitting at a light, and when I depress the gas the car will rev up then jerk into gear. Then sometimes the car while cruising on the interstate, will jerk when trying to accelerate to change lanes. RPM's will go up, then the tranny will finally shift wwwaaaayyyy after it normally would. I hope I was clear in my explanation.

 

did u check the level? mine did that when my level was to low...i then filled it with LUCAS stop slip...its some thick stuff but no more slips...i have a 2000 w. 55k on it

 

Good explaination.... check fluid level per owners manual as Deiz2k says. Could be a bad line pressure selinoid, bad valve body, or a shot tranny. There is a TSB out for the selinoid and valvebody but with that mileage, you may be S.O.L. Clearly this is not normal and should be checked ASAP.

 

Yes the first thing that I did was check the level. I guess its time to go to a stealership...

 

how many miles when you bought the max? im thinkin of getting extended warranty just for teh tranny, i think nissan made the tranny to go bad after the 60k warranty is up. most of my friends nissan tranny went bad between 60k to 90k.

 

Bad valve body. Same thing happened to me at 53,xxx but Nissan replaced entire transmission, (this was before th Valve Body TSB came out for 2k2's.)

 

A few miles over 27,000. I have an extended warranty in effect until 100,000 miles.

 

mine was like that at around 70K. i let it warm up every morning before i drive it. i dont floor it like i did when i got it. (every once in awhile) but it is still goin, now at 100,500. the engine is still strong!

 

When your car over revs without gaining any speed you know that you definitely have a transmission problem. I recently had my transmission replaced by my local stealership.

 

Damn... my tranny is starting to do the same once again. this will be the third tranny. original went out at 42K second at 53K ive got 64k right now. Do you see a pattern? WTF do these trannies only last 11K

 

Its definitely irritating, I drove all the way to work this morning in 30 degree weather without any issues...

 

So it looks like we are gonna be paying the $tealership a visit this will be my third time. God they must love me there cause they just keep giving me tranny's

 

i think you're driving like an idiot if you're on your third tranny...

 

I have a similar problem with my 02auto now that its cold out, when the tranny shifts into gear i feel a jerk as it shifts, not everytime but most of the time. if anyone had the same or is having the same problem let me know. thanks, tranny only has 47,000miles

 

my 00 auto with 118k on it does that. when i first start it up it slips from 1 to 2. a tranny guy said that it is not worth getting a valve body or tranny for becuase it works fine when it is warm. i just take my foot completely off the gas right before it shifts and let it shift then i put my foot on the gas slowly. just my experience

 

Not an idiot more of an enthusiastic driver. I do alot of mountain driving on the weekends with my friends. ive installed a B&M oil cooler and have done the stage 1 vbmod and run on race atf. You cant call me an idiot driver when you see other members tranny's going out even though they dont push there cars like i do. I see the mods you have done to your Max and it seems to me the only reason your tranny is still fine is because your going fo show and not go. You could argue with me that our cars shouldnt be driven this way but like i say "To each, there own" Do what you want to your cars cause thats what they are YOUR CAR

 

i have a little over 63000 miles on my car and just had the tranny replaced a few weeks ago.i had the same problems before it wouldnt go into reverse anymore.i have the extended warrenty but the bill would have been 3200 if i didnt.

 

you pay for it you drive it how you want to!i always drive em like i stole em!

 

who are you talking to.. me?

 

That's right Buddy. It's my car and I will drive it the way I please. I'm not saying I go hotrodding around town. On the weekends I do but only on mountain roads where I'm not endangering the life of tons of people. Don't get me wrong it's 100% safe to drive the way I do in these areas but it's better than flying next to a handful of cars with people getting home to their families. Oh just read my sig.

 

uh...you don't know me, my car, nor my mods. i'm done with this, this is stupid.
