Well it finally happened, my max seems to have a delayed shift from 2nd to 3rd gear. This only seems to happen after I have gone down the interstate for a while and things have heated up. My max shifts just fine around town and while its cold but after I travel down the interstate at 85 for a while then exit, come to a stop then take of it hesitates from 2nd to 3rd and the rpms jump while not in gear. Does anyone have any insight as to how to go about fixing the problem? What does the transgo cure? Im hoping this is all that I need.

 

Well, you said it: "it finally happened." Valve body issue presumably. However, run a scan check first and let's see what's going on in the tranny. By the way, how many miles do you have on your max, and what trim-SE or SL?

 

it already has been TOTALLY covered in the forums in like 20 pages.

Search for the threads and read em all.
Nothing to add here.

 

We just had the shift kit installed in my wife's Maxima. Shifting better than ever now.

 

Yea ive read all the links on the trans issue too.. jay i have the SAME EXACT symptoms as you state. i just removed my valvebody and sent it about 3 hours ago to level 10.. Ive searched alot and they seem to be the go-to.. What do you guys think??? WHich is better? level 10 or transgo??

 

no clue, I would send it to level 10 for repair and kit....

 

Any idea what that all costs. I love this car but it is and has been nothing but a money pit.

 

my 04 trans is screwed up already and then my, tranny ecu and the main ecu went out... what causes such a thing? sorry, i would start a new thread but this darn site wouldn't let me for some dumb reason.... ANY PLEASE HELP! and no its DEF not from old age for 2 computers to burn out at once.

Any help on finding cheap new ones???????

 

how do you know your ecu is shot ?

 

i got a mechanic working on it and when they replaced the ecu, the car now actually starts up. before it wouldn't what so ever.

 

Which kit?

 

AW55-50SN TransGo kit. The place we took the car to did for a total of $172.00, including new gasket, my kit, and fluid. They did an excellent job, and the car is doing great.

 

I have the same problem but i dont have to go that fast on the expressway.... Im thinking about replacing the transmission... Does anyone know a better transmission to replace the original Nissan transmission with because i dont want to keep buying transmissions every year(what seems to be the case for alot of owners)
My car has 105k on it now and this is the only problem, it hesitates sometimes it kind of kicks and bucks.
I dont know much about car an I have read just about every thread here
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry I would have posted a thread but i couldn't.

 

If you've "read just about every thread here" then you should be well aware of the options before you. Why do want to change your tranny without trying these options? Is your SES light on? Have you scanned your tranny to confirm if there are any DTCs? Is your 2004 a 4speed or 5speed?

 

What shop did you use???
