lately i've been having this problem with the tranny. I have an 01 maxima.

its a randomly accruing issue but quite noticeble when going up an incline. At around 50-60mphs and going beyond 60mph, my transmission seems to get stuck at 2.5k. I have to stomp the gas pedal all the way down to make it "jerk" out of it...after which it works as it should
anyone else had this problem ?

 

Sounds like an MAF problem.

Try cleaning it with CNC MAF cleaner first to see if it makes a difference.

 

^^^

 

i cleaned the MAF a couple of months back...

 

i had this problem with my 2000, it turned out to be the MAF it was pretty cheap considering I bought it new from the dealer. threw it on no problems since.

 

So what? Do it again.

If it doesnt help, then you will need to replace your MAF sensor.

Costs about $100 and take 30 minutes to install.

 

Exactly,^ many people think just because they've cleaned it than their problem isn't their maf, or the cnf maf cleaner adds a lifetime warranty on your maf. Go 2 threads up of ddown" need help ASAP! " or something by mu_036sp. Exact same problem.
