04 maxima Transmission issue (Yupe me too now)
my tranny starts shifts into drive .. drives for a bit and then loses it ... the car does not engage in any gear
i have to wait and let it sit for a little bit before i can start again ... get abt 2-3 miles and then it just slips of the gears and revs up like its in neutral
i can shift from D to P without even hitting the breaks ...
Time for a new tranny ?
anyone else exp this problem ?

Did you notice any of below symptoms before your transmission behaving like this? According to winterfraust on this forum, signs of transmission going out are:
1) slip from 1-2 and then hard bang
2) no engagement from 2-1 on light deceleration then a hard bang
3) trans stuck in 5th (5at)
4) no engagement in any gear
How many mileages in your car? When was your last oil change? How's your oil looking right now? How about motor mount? I am just following all common check points advised by many maxima owners on this forum.
I had not bang shifts but like kind of some rough shifts from 2-3 and 3-2. I simply drained and refilled transmission oil and now my car shifts much better. However I still get R-D and D-R knock. My next plan is to drain and refill twice again (in another word transmission flush to remove 85% of oil) very soon.
It’s bad man to deal with couple of high ticket items repair in our cars.

Thant's bad.....big "Boo Boo" from Nissan and don't even care about clean this up. I am planing on drain-refill transmission oil twice together with radiator coolant drain-refill as well. I am also adding radiator relief what Chern has been using in his red maxima I believe.
Edit: I scanned my car at Autozone (No CEL light) and showing no codes what so ever. I am not sure our transmissions are just going out without spitting any ODBI codes ahead of time. I am at 113k right now.

Don't mean to hi-jack the post but my tranny just died!
06 w/ 123K miles.
My mechanic has found a tranny at the junkyard with about 40K miles on it. My question go for this one which will be about $2100+. Or go with the one from Nissan (re-manu?) for $3500+ ???
Oh, and i'm still paying monthly payments on this car! About a year left.
But you know what, I still love my Maxima
