BIG problem with transmission
As I was driving today, I speed up to pass a jeep and get over a lane. ( I drive an automatic) so I slow down so that I can make a right onto the highway. As I get ready to go I noticed that The transmission was acting up a little. well I go to turn out and my car wound go into 1st gear and and took forever to gain acceleration. So I left the car in the parking lot for 4 hours and then came back to pick it up. It isnt still doing the exact same things it was doing before but know I can hear it and feel it slipping gears. This is crazy! why the hell does nissan put such cheap transmissions into their cars?? I am so pis*ed. This gives me an even better reason for getting a 2k2 6speed. Hopefully the dealership doesnt give me any crap about it. I am mad!

happened to me too. don't know what it was but i'd been disconnecting my ecu a lot then cuz of some wiring.
after a little while it returned to normal, but very disconcerting. a week later i got the service engine light and went into my dealer who reprogrammed my cat converter parameters. no problems since.

I hate hearing and feeling my second gear not catching when I give it gas to speed up. I'm glad it only happens around 35mph. I bet if I open up the transmission oil pan right now, Imma find lots of shavings.

Nissan Engineer:
OK boss we finished the engine, it was a long design time but we finished a few days before deadline, i think were ahead of schedule, its a great engine.
Chief Engineer:
Good just bring the transmission u designed along with it to the factory and we can put it together.
Nissan Engineer:
Transmission?......I knew we forgot something, i think we can just put a buncha gears and parts together overnight.

THATS THE DISCRPITION!! Mine started doing that exact samething.....acted up.....mysteriously went away......BUT......then it comes back a few thousand miles later.......you first notice it during a WOT getting on the highway.....get up to about 3600-4000rpm and things seem to not accelarate like they should, and you watch as the tach needle s-l-o-w-l-y works its way up the scale.......next week the car won't spin above 5,000rpm, it won't shift to the next gear either------then BAMB! Heeeeey, theres third!......At this point you have a few days below 3500rpm, of really nice smooth, quick shifts while the TCM tries to accomidate.......by the end of the week your like me.....nursin' it 50 miles away to a dealer who knows what they're doing
