Mentioned everywhere....never completely answered (tranny)
Is it normal to have 1st-2nd and/or 2nd to 3rd shifts harder when the car is cold? The shifting is effortless as soon as the car reaches operating temperature.
Or is this the sign of a weak and aging transmission?

Yes, this is normal. If you are not running a CVT transmission, then switch to synthetic transmission fluid. This will help to alleviate those hard shirts on those cold days.

And yes, it is Nissan "normal" for the hard shift between 2nd and 3rd. My 02 auto SE did the same thing.

There is a TSB that says there is hard shifting when tranny is cold. Talked to Nissan cause I thought there was a prob and the mechanic said it was normal and they tune the trans to shift a little harder to give it a sporty feel, at least on the SE.
