Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Maxima / August 20052004 Max SE- 6 speed manual hard shift question
I have a 2004 Maxima SE 6 speed Manual transmission, and it is at 29K. Within the last few days, I have noticed that when cold, it is difficult to get into 3'rd and higher for awhile and shifting sounds 'mechanical' rather than smooth. Seems that after I drive it for a bit, it gets better. I have it in the dealer service today, but I wanted to post here to see if the techs were consistent with what some of the experts here might have to say. Is this a fluid change issue, a tighten/adjustment, or is it likely a part that needs replaced? I have an ESP on it, but still want to make sure they aren't doing unnecessary work on my car.

It's usually normal for the tranny shift with a little difficulty until the tranny fl;uid warms up. You might consider repalcing the OEM fluid with synthetic tranny fluid, which will perform much better. CD > Do you live in a cold climate?

But I would hardly consider 60 Degrees cold right now. In the winter, we hover at about 30-50 degrees as a high for several months. If this is the case, I have some serious problems ahead. My son works at a lube shop and could probably flush and replace the fluid in my tranny with some synthetic stuff for a discount. Which might be worth a try. Paul |
