that's the tranny going bad. it's what happens when the fluid delays in moving the gear or when your shift solinoid starts to go. my suggestion is if under warrenty take it in, if not start saving for anew transmission and drive it till it dies. make sure you have towing and rental reimbursement coverage.

Switching to standard will be pricey...
im sure you can find a used tranny on car-parts.com for under 900 or so... labor is what is pricey...
how many miles do u have... and what year is your ride.... 4 spd? 5 spd?

Do you know if they person b4 you dad/mom/etc ever did any trany flush/drain ???
Does not sound good, but i would take it to a shop that you trust...
If you go into a place you dont know ... or never heard anything about, they PROB will just tell you its done etc...
Dont go into a place and say you think its bad, cause' they will just agree with you and take your $$$$... talk to family/friends and try to find a place ...
Good luck and Keep us posted

Went to the dealership this morning and let them take a look at it cuz its still under extended warranty and its not the tranny..... it was 2 of my motormouths...... the front and back was all gone and it was touching metal to metal that's what they said...... just got my car back and the noise and jerk of car was gone...... lucky it wasnt the tranny.... I was so happy cuz I didn't get any extended warranty on the drivetrain......

im having the same problem too. transition from 1st to 2nd gear shifts really hard. feels like metals rubbing against each other, but i got a transmission flush a few months ago. most likely the tranny?

Feel sorry for you dude. I had my motor mounts that went out..All 3 were replaced(only 2 were bad) and it came out to $1050 at the dealership. Luckily, I had extended warrenty and got it covered under my 100k and had to pay no deductible. Just to let you know, start removing your hp mods cuz if it does get covered; when they call nissan to set up a claim they will ask your service advisor a LOT of questions as to what mods does it have, do you drive it hard, etc.. Just giving you a heads up. With luck, all will go well.

yea i have an extended warranty on the car hopefully they dont deny it for my mods. do u think they would say my short ram intake was what made the tranny go bad and the motor mounts to break? they have someone coming out to inspect the car..

yea i hope they don't. I have an injen intake, just converted to short ram, so hope they ignore it.. and yea they do sell the Nismo, but the inspectors more of the problem over the dealership.

After my 02 GXE was totaled in an accident when I was hit by an 80 year old man at 1am...with a bum leg who fell asleep at the wheel while driving another 80 year old man home who himself was wheelchair bound. The driver had been drinking however was not charged...as there were no on-duty police officers available at the time....what a story...The car was an Acura EL which is only sold in Canada I believe....that's a dressed up Civic with leather...much smaller than my 02 Max...Anyway the insurance bought me a new car at the time. By Febraury I was driving a 2004 SL....what a mistake that car was...should had gone with the SE...anyway the car was in the shop every two weeks with something else wrong until July 04 when the Transmission died with only 15,000 KMS that's right KMS not miles! That's less than 10,000 miles! After arguing with Nissan and pleading with my dealer they took it back in November of that year...(we used to call it "The 4 o'clock Friday Afternoon Special" as we think the car was manufactured at that time! LOL! It was a bucket of loose bolts and I mean this quite litterally! It was falling apart. Luckily I was put in a second production run 05 SE. This car has done OK so far....the usual problems such as brake noises and shocks etc. The transmission in this one lasted almost 4 years or 100,000 KMS or 60,000 miles...which was recently replaced under warranty...and I have an extended warranty. Jimmy, why don't you approach a Nissan dealer and without mentionning said problem ask to purchase an extended warranty? Or start saving up for a rebuilt....Good luck!
