nissan maxima transmission

Solonoid Control Assy mentioned in the link) would cause such a symptom Id think or the default of some input sensor such as the throttle position sensor or others. why cant mechanics - specifically aamco - figure it out they dropped the tranny inspected it said its fine. hooked it up to there computers and the only thing that came up was the 02 sensors. i found this while searching the net httpnissan-maxima-car.blogs....html

cland7890 wrote Hi guys - My 2000 maxima is giving similar symptoms i.e. the tranny going into neutral while driving. Its a very scary experience -- I was driving on the freeway when suddenly lost power even if I stepped on the accelerator and the engine is giving some loud noise. Thanks to bpomps for posting the solution ... I will go ahead and purchase the Speed Sensor but I was wondering if this item issue has been raised as a possible Recall Notice This is a potentially safety issue. Thanks -Conrad ahhh the ol maxima issue... i get goosebumps when i see a reply in my inbox because i get flashbacks of driving on the highway and all of a sudden the car going into limp mode. it took alot of time and money but i learned alot about the car and working on it. the big thing was changing the fuel filter in the tank that thing was sooooo dirty oily and had metal fragments in it I have since moved on from the maxima because i was done putting money into it. I got an older model audi that has a V6 like the maxima but the audi V6 has a supercharger on it -- ill never forget you maxima and the problems you gave me but it was a learning experience and I was the person who figured out the issue after no one could... wheres my award mr. nissan president

Aside from submitting a complaint with NHTSA have you done servicing on your transmission Which model year and what mileage do you have in your car. The Infinitinissan transmissions are reliable and your car or the 6th Gen maxima could be an exception. transmission problems are more common with the Lexus ES350 and LS460. I flush the transmission fluid in all my cars every 2 years plus a bottle of LubeGard Red and never have had any transmission issue (knock on wood).

MarkC Unless you have purchased an Infiniti Elite Extended Warranty your Powertrain warranty has already expired. If you have an extended warranty better stick to OEM fluid - nissan Matic-D PN 999MP-AA100P which can be purchased from IoS - infinitipartsUSA.com at a discounted price of 5.61quart. The capacity of your transmission RE4F04B is 9 quarts. If warranty is no longer covered then its your call

I believe the 2nd gen Max (and its contemporary Stanza and Sentra) all used the RS5F31A manual trans. Might want to double-check that (the maxima in question should have its trans model number displayed on the VIN plaque on the firewall). Just be sure to get that same model trans and youll be fine. Keep in mind though that nissan packages the same transmission with different bellhousings depending

if i dont need to cause then Im going to have to junk the car and i love it. I read up about this and heard something about limp mode but i dont really know what that is. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you How often have you been replacing the fluid and what type and brand have you used I have had good service with the latest Castrol blend made for imports that is equivelent to nissan

maxvq wrote Hey everyone I was wondering if anyone has a step by step procedure of how to properly change the transmission oil on a 1997 nissan maxima I cant seem to locate the oil filter or the drain plug and Im hoping someone cal help me Thanks With most transmissions you must drop the pan to change the fluid. Often there is a filter located inside there. There is no filter like you would find for

MCovington wrote There should be a plug located on the bottom of the trans pan. This will only drain about 3 to 4 QTS of fluid. Check your book on how much it holds. The trans filter is a metal screen and is a bugger to get out and clean. You can have a flush done at a dealer that uses genuine nissan fluid or other shops do it too for about 125.00. I would have it flushed so you can get all the fluid

IM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE U DO TO YOUR CAR OK I know this is old but its help me alot so i want to help anyone who is having the same problem... my 01 maxima was slipping and change gears very un-normal I went to the nissan dealership and they told me that my transmission control module TCM was bad. They charge me 120 to look at the car. They also told me it was going to be 1200 to replace

WTF Given how ridiculously RARE and HARD-TO-FIND manual transmission maximas are... youd be committing sacrilege if you did this Sell your manual transmission maxima and buy one with an automatic. The automatic ECU can be made to work with a manual but NOT the other way around AFAIK-- its physically missing a connector or something. Itd be less labor intensive easier and hell youd probably make money on the deal since manual transmission cars are so rare. www .nissanforums . coma32-1995-1999-chassis133355-manual-trans-automatic.html

I believe the transmission will last until at least 310000 miles or more. However when I first bought it a couple of months ago the transmission fluid had not been changed in a while.. The fluid was dark and way over due for a change. The transmission had a strange shuttering feel after it shifted. I thought -- well here come the transmission troubles. So I did some research and found some years nissan

I have a 2000 nissan maxima se and i experienced the exact same thing. i was riding about 90mph on the interstate when that occurred..it felt like the transmission slipped and all of a sudden i hear a loud bang and it started shifting normal. It also slipped out on me in the city and lasted about 2 minutes before it settled back in and started shifting normal. on another occassion i was on the interstate

Sunday when we were installing the new transmission axle seals. The passenger side went fine but when it came time to install the driver side seal we noticed a problem. The yard had actually sent me a VLSD auto trans so the seal and axle were different. We proceeded to install the new motor and trans into the car and get the wiring and hoses all hooked up. Monday morning I called the two biggest nissan

any drain and refill. Run the engine for 100 seconds while shifting gears stop engine then drain fluid. Add the exact amount of fluid that was drained. Repeat this process 3-4 times. At the end of the drain and refill sequence add a bottle of LubeGard Red ATF Protectant. Make sure you dont underover fill the transmission fluid. For the pan drop and drain and refill you may need 15 quarts of nissan

Do the transmission Self-Diagnosis starting on page AT-50 of the FSM. If its anything electrical (solenoid sensor) the test will bring it up as an error code. From there you can ohm test most every component at the connector to verify the code. httpwww.nicoclub.comFSMmaxima2001AT.pdf loystock wrote .......Your transmission problem may be due to the condition of transmission fluid dirtyclogged transmission

Hi Azubike I have been searching inetrnet for several weeks and finally got your post. I have nissan maxima 2002 and having exactly the same issue (word by word) that you were having. Since there are no more posts on the topic I really want to know what was the diagnosis of the car and how did you repair it Please if you are still using NICOclub.com please help me out Kind Regards

Have you checked the fuse for the wiper motor It should be Fuse 39 20A of IPDM in the engine bay. transmission flush is recommended every 30K miles. Better do a pan drop clean pan and magnets replace ATF filter install new gasket and crush washer then do a flush. At the end of the flush add a bottle of LubeGard Red (not black) ATF Protectant. Instead of a flush at the shop you can do multiple drain and refill (run engine for 100 secs while shifting gears then drain). Make sure the engine is warm and the ATF level is correct before doing any drainrefill. Always add the exact amount of ATF drained. The 05 maxima with Automatic transmission requires nissan Matic-K (7-34 quarts capacity).

My transmission is slipping....or that is what the mechanics who checked it said. maxima is known to be a fast car but I really chug along till I get to the third gear. The maxima revs to 2500 before it shifts to the next gear and a tranny guy said that his meter didnt show a second gear being present I have no idea what to do with a transmission ..althought I would like to give it a try. I am in

Thank you for the help guys. I couldnt get to reply earlier on and I apologise. I am getting tired of dealing with my maxima. Found a dealer who was willing to give me 3000 for the car. Most likely will trade this one in for another newer maxima. I sorta like the 4th gen body style better than the 5th gen ones. So might go for a 1999 maxima I guess. Are the 5th gens superior to the 4th gens in the enginetransmission areas other than the niceties that dawned in the 21st century

It lowers transmission fluid temperatures (always a good thing) and can help smooth out shifting. Its noticeably smoothed downshifts and initial shifts into reverse (less delay) on my Pathfinder. A Magnefine in-line filter installed on the transmission cooler return line also might be a wise addition to help keep the fluid free of wear material and other debris. I believe a 38 one will fit your maximas

A more efficient way of performing a complete fluid exchange one can use the transmission cooler return line to do a full fluid exchange. You will need 12 to 15 quarts of automatic transmission fluid preferably nissan Matic D A clear gallon jug something like an empty milk jug Another large container to store used fluid for disposal 1. Disconnect the transmission cooler return line and secure it in

response to transmissions still requiring certain properties of Dexron III and is a licensed fluid which meets the minimum specifications of Dexron III so if youre hellbent on using Dex III and want to ensure that it meets specifications use either a fluid which meets TES-389 spec (Mobil ATF DM does [ see label at bottom of this page ] which typically can be found at Target) or obviously nissan

Actually it looks like I got a couple wires crossed in my last post. The maxima years I mentioned actually use a slightly older variant of that transmission (the RE4F02A). So the recyclers are probably right. It might still work but it wont be a direct replacement...as the recyclers said some sensors would have to be changed out. I also noticed looking closely at the specs for the transmissions that

why not use a vq30 cheaper to build imo. oh and i have a spare 5spd lsd tranny lieing around from my 92 max. brand new rebuilt never used. let me know if you wants. formula94lt1 wrote I am considering the vgXXe as a mid engined project but wanted to clarify my options for a transmission that would readily work. Obviously the FWD maxima came to mind and I was curious what this transmission has been

Wow I feel bad posting here since this thread is so old but here goes anyways. The B&M trans fluid cooler is a great piece. Im currently using a B&M 6X9 trans fluid cooler on my maximaI had to add this to my set up when I got my transmission bulletproofed and a stage 3 VB moddue to the increased heat the VB mod makes. Installation location is ON THE RADIATOR. It comes with zip ties that hold it to

Have you done any transmission flush since the the transmission was repaired Its recommended to flush the ATF every 24-30K miles. Also the 4-speed transmission in the 04 maxima is problematic. It would be better to do a pan drop clean the pan and magnets replace the filter and install new gasket followed by a flush and addition of LubeGard Red ATF protectant. It may not fix the problem but not much
