I just had the Fuel Cut TSB done today at my local dealership and I wanted to tell anyone that has a 5 speed that has not had this fixed yet....do it. My car is so much more consistant from a stop in first and the annoying pulse at low rpms is gone. Make your appointment today (it might take some convincing to the mechanic, but it is worth it.) 
out.

I got mine fixed on Tuesday. The service guy that took my keys said they were not going to do it. "We just don't fix TSB's when customers ask us to." I had shown him a print out of the TSB and told him he will fix it or get the service manager in here right now. Needless to say, I got a call 1 hour later, my oil was changed and my TSB fixed. The bucking in first gear has gone and now feels much better driving in 1st gear.

Help.

I can hold the RPM anywhere else in the band except for there. It just won't happen. Plus now I am experiencing jerking or hesitation at highway speeds. This is not a happy camper here.....

ECM Reprogramme
I've posted this a few times elsewhere in this forum...but just so anyone who may benfit can see it...one more time:
Present a copy of the TSB and then press by contacting Nissan Canada\North America if they give you the brush off: see below for our successful resolution.
Yes, this Full Cut problem is significantly reduced by the re-programming of the ECM. Both my wife and I were seriously unhappy with all the "jerking around" at low revs in first gear. Our dealer here in Canada said, "Drive it and the problem should disappear." Well it didn't! I copied the TSB and took a copy to the dealer..."That's an American TSB, you have a Canadian vehicle." I contacted Nissan Canada...same message, "Your vehicle is Canadian emissions certified; doesn't apply to your vehicle. Hmm, said I...the emissions certification label indicates California!
I kept pressing for resolution and finally the service manager (who was a bit annoyed that I had contacted Nissan Canada to complain - which of course was referred back to the dealer - and that I had information they knew nothing about) agreed to have the car in to check the ECM programme. Well, guess what...the tech hooked up the computer programming unit with the ECM programing module card and lo and behold there was an update for my ECM, and it had exactly the part number noted in the TSB.
We have noticed NO adverse consequences of the ECM re-programming and that nasty jerking is MUCH reduced. Perhaps still a tiny bit twitchy, but we're both happy. After 22 years of automatics (Pontiac Lemans - yucch; Mazda MPV - not bad for a family van) it is a joy to get back to car you can actually DRIVE! Takes us back to our 1972 BMW 2002...and our friend with a BMW 325i loves the SE 20th Anniversary!
If you are bothered by this problem...this update works.
