I know you guys know about the 3rd generation transmission slipping problem. i cant be the only one. i had a maxima and it had not even 100k miles and the transmission started slipping. i had to rebuild it, and it happened 2 more time after i had it rebuilt.

so i go to buy a new maxima, and the same thing! this car has 175k miles but still. the transmission does the same exact thing.

my experience with maximas tell me that they make hell of great engines but when it comes to transmissions, especially automatic ones.....the transmissions just dont last!

anyway, i wanna buy this maxima anyway and have it rebuilt or something. but i want to know. Will it pass inspection so i can get a sticker even with the transmission problem. i mean its not that that bad.....it still drives fine if you dont push the pedal down too fast. so if you drive regular on the street, u shouldnt notice the problem until u get on the highway. but maybe on the highway, u would want to use overdrive sometimes.

Will the maxima pass for an inspection sticker with the transmission slipping?

 

every state has their own inspection laws.
i assume you're in MA..if they don't drive (dyno) the car to the point your tranny slips then you should past. they don't care how it runs..they worry about emissions and safety.

 

Didn't you just ask this???
