Transmisson Problem

Hey guys I did a quick search and really didn't find an answer that was satisfying. With that said, recently i have been noticing some harder shifts than normal when just driving normally. Usually first to second. Also it seems as if the car is some what laggy when taking off from a light. Finally tonight when driving home I was stopped in a small incline and when I started to go the car reved up but didn't move. It dropped the RPM's and then took off. The car is a 2002 Maxima with 33,500 miles and no CEL. Any ideas or insight as to what it could be?

Thanks in advance.

Well could be your transmission solenoids, as will as many other things

Do you have any codes?
Does your O/D light flash when you turn the car on?

My advice is to get it checked by a mechanic
