2003 SE auto will not shift into 4th gear
I have a 2003 Maxima SE auto (76k) that doesn't want to shift into 4th gear. It appears to shift through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd without any issue. I tried manually shifting between "D" and "3" and nothing changes. No CEL's and the only other issue I can find is the car is slow when accelerating hard from a dead stop. I did some searching, but to no avail. Anyway, any thoughts?

You could try running the self diagnostic that's built into the car and see what comes back with.

pretty sure that's most cars in general, my '08 CRV doesn't go into overdrive until its somewhat warm, granted the maxima does take a little longer until it goes into O/D

I've had that happen before when I did a burnout, but I shutoff the car shortly after & when I started the car A/T check light flashed but was completely fine after

Not to beat a dead horse but when you say warmed up? Do you mean it was sitting in driveway running and then you left? If that's the case we're not talking about the same thing. I can leave it run for 20 min and get in drive still won't go into overdrive. It will go in 3 maybe 4 miles down the road. The tranny has to be warmed up as well. Just to clarify
