2005 Nissan Maxima

SERIOUS TRANSMISSION ISSUE. IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE WHEN IT SHIFTS FROM 2ND AND 3RD GEAR, SOMETIMES IT ONLY GOES HIGH ON RPM WITHOUT GIVING ANY TRACTION TO THE WHEELS. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION KICKS WHEN I PUT IN REVERSE AFTER A WHILE OF BEING DRIVING THE CAR. I HAVE ALREADY CHANGED THE 3 MOTOR MOUNTS BECAUSE THEY WERE BROKEN BUT I NEVER I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE DUE TO TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. I LIVE IN MEXICO AND APPARENTLY IT'S VERY COMMON ALSO IN MAXIMAS IN MEXICO. *TR

THE VEHICLE JERKS HARD WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, AND REVERSE TO DRIVE. WHEN DRIVING IT WILL SHIFT HARD FROM 1ST TO 2ND. IT WILL SLIP BEFORE RAMMING IN TO GEAR. THERE IS ALSO SLIPPING IN 4TH GEAR. WHEN TRYING TO ACCEL ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL SLIP BEFORE DOING SO. REPLACE FRONT & LEFT ENGINE MOUNT, FLUSH TRANSMISSION FLUID BUT STILL DOING THE SAME JERKING ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE . *TR

MY 2005 NISSAN MAXIMA HAS 115000 MILES AND HAS STARTED SHOWING SIGNS OF WHAT MAY BE SERIOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. 1. TAKES ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO CLICK INTO GEAR AFTER THE SHIFT LEVER IS PUT IN "D" 2. VERY HARD JERKY SHIFTS BETWEEN 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST AND ACCOMPANIED BY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. 3. TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR DURING REGULAR DRIVING ALLOWING THE ENGINE TO REV FREELY THEN JERKING BACK INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD CLUNK. THE IS FOLLOWED BY A BURNT OIL / ELECTRICAL TYPE SMELL THAT GETS INSIDE THE CAR AND EVIDENT OUTSIDE AFTER STOPPING. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT: CAR DIDN'T IMMEDIATELY SHIFT INTO REVERSE AND WHEN IT DID, IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR VIOLENTLY. THE PROBLEM EVENTUALLY MANIFESTED INTO THE FOLLOWING: 1.) TAKING OFF CAR JERKS REAL BAD BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND GEAR. 2.) SLOWING DOWN, CAR KICKS & JERKS WHEN DOWN SHIFTING 3.) NOW IT'S AT THE POINT WHERE THE CAR STALLS /SHUTS OFF 4.) PUTTING THE CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT HESITATES ABOUT 5 TO 7 SEC. 5.) TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR UNDER 20M.P.H... CAUSING ENGINE TO REV UP TO 4RPM AND SOMETIMES 5RPM. *TR

TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHOWS SIGNS OF FAILURE. CURRENTLY, THE VEHICLE JERKS HARD WHEN GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, AND REVERSE TO DRIVE. WHEN DRIVING IT WILL SHIFT HARD FROM 1ST TO 2ND. IT WILL SLIP BEFORE RAMMING IN TO GEAR. THERE IS ALSO SLIPPING IN 4TH GEAR. WHEN TRYING TO ACCEL ON THE HIGHWAY IT WILL SLIP BEFORE DOING SO. IN TOWN DRIVING IS HORRIBLE. I HAVE TO TRY AND DRIVE THE CAR IN MANUAL MODE BUT THAT DOES NECESSARILY HELP. AFTER DOING FURTHER RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT THIS GENERATION OF NISSAN MAXIMA'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NISSAN IS ALSO AWARE BUT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR
