Consumer Description

MY 2005 MAXIMA 3.5 SL IS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I SHIFT FROM "PARK" TO DRIVE (FORWARD OR REVERSE) THERE IS A NOTICEABLE LAG BEFORE THE GEARS CATCH. ON AN INCLINE IT IS VERY NOTICEABLE. WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A WHINE AND A DRAG FEELING AS IF THE ENGINE IS STRAINING BECAUSE IT IS IN THE WRONG GEAR. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS RUNNING THROUGH ITS GEARS THAT IT APPEARS IT EITHER MISSES A MESHING OR IT IS JUST SPINNING FREELY AND WHEN IT KICKS IN THERE IS A JERK BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND THEN WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN. THERE IS A JERK AND THUNK SOUND. SOME TIMES WHILE STOPPED AND SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE A NOTICEABLE LURCH FORWARD. I KNOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION/GEAR MESHING IS OFF BECAUSE MY GAS MILEAGE IS OFF. *TR
