i have this odd hesitation/slippage problem whenever the gas has only 1/4 left or less. if i stomp on the gas or even accelerate quickly, i get this hesitation and some odd slippage from 1-2nd gear.. could it be the fuel pump? tranny? the thing is when i have plenty of gas like 1/2 or more, i dont have this hesitation problem. i could stomp on the gas and the car would go without any problems.

there are no codes, no leaks, and i also used premium gas. if it was the fuel pump, i probably would have the hesitation problem regardless of how much gas is in the car right? however, this problem only occur when i have 1/4 or less gas left. another thing, if i accelerate slowly/normally, there is no hesitation problem. and another thing is it only seems to happen after driving for atleast 20-30 minutes.. any ideas?

Also i found this thread a bit familiar to my problem as if i press the pedal half way it will do this wierd slippage but if i floor it, all seems fine :\

btw i have a 00 maxima

i also noticed i may have warn/bad motor mounts left drive side A and Right side passenger uppers

im just running through the forum since this issue is kinda buggin me but could this be a TCM issue? ive only had the car for 5 months i hope its not my actual tranny dieing since it doesnt always sliip

my tranny takes more time shifting from 2nd to 3rd than 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th.

i think there is a TSB for 00 - 01's REGARDING the 1st to 2nd sluggishness

Where could i find this TSB?

i have 02 maxima .. when i press the gas padel ..its like some one pulling me from the back .. and all f sudden one kick/jerk then its fine all the mechanic i take it to .. oh the car is fine .. ummm
