TRANSMISSION. I JUST PURCHASED A 2006 MAXIMA. IT WILL SHIFT VERY HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND. IT IS JERKING, THRUSTING FORWARD AND THERE IS A MAJOR DELAY WHEN YOU SWITCH FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. IT IS KNOCKING WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE. IT DOES THIS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WARMS UP A BIT. WHEN DOWNSHIFTING TO 2-1, IT SMACKED REAL HARD AT A LIGHT. I WAS IN THE CAR WITH MY FAMILY. THIS IS NOT GOOD. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT NISSAN TRIED TO DEVELOP A TRANMISSION THAT COULD THINK FOR YOU. IT IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP AWAITING TESTING. PLEASE RECALL THOSE TRANSMISSIONS NOW BEFORE THESE UNITS GET TOO OLD.
