Can you provide more details? What kind of 'hangup'? Do you mean it has a delayed shift or that it does not shift at all?

When flooring it all the way from 1st going into second there seems to be a dealy when shifting.
Also when flooring the car real quick and then releasing the accelerator pedal the engine seems to stay at the high rpm for a few seconds.

This must be something wrong with the ECU
I've heard lots of people with this problem.

made on or before 4/00. its not a defect. its programmed that way. The core demographic of buyers of the maxima (males 45-60 yrs old) dont spend much time at near wide open throttle, so they never see the delay. Its only with agressive driving. Its programmed there to provide a more luxury feel. (not the delay, but the slip between 1-2 shift... the delay is a side-effect of that)

I thought the maxima was suppose to be driven aggresively.

IT is made for that kind of punishment.

the majority of max owners dont drive aggressively. its a grocery getter.. A very nice, fast grocery getter, but one none the less.
