Female driver needs help! I have a Nissan Altima 2003 that seems to want to
redline when going from 2nd to 3rd gear. It starts out ok, but then you can
feel it lose momentum and the RPM's skyrocket. It's an automatic, never had
any real problems with it and just hit 55000 miles. I bought it new so
everything that has been done to it I know about. Can anyone help me on this
and give me suggestions as to why my baby doesn't want to shift properly?
Much appreciated!!

Take it in for service.

They should check the fluid level in the trannie, and also check for leaks
while they are at it.

Be aware that the standard fix for a busted automatic trannie is to replace
it. They should be able to find a decent used one, cost should not exceed
$2000 or so for labour and parts.

get it to the dealership, the transmission is smoked

depending on the vehicles in service date and mileage you may get a new
transmission for free.The vehicle has a 5 year 60k mile powertrain warranty.
