Can anyone help? Monday ill take it to the shop to get it checked but until then can anyone help.

I have an 05 Z automatic 35th anniversary. This has started happening for about a month now. The car feels so much slower. Basically cruising on 5th gear and if i slam the gas it doesnt shift down anymore, just stays in 5th. Also it doesnt hold gears long enough to reach even 5k rpms...

In at 36k miles. I havent had the fluid replaced but ill have it done on monday at z garage in san jose. Also is it better to flush transmission fluid or just drain and refill?

Can anyone suggest anything? I havent been driving it hard at all.

Thanx

 

a flush is better, but when the fluid costs like 1X$+ a quart it can get expensive. a lot of shops struggle to flush it as well, they can only drain out X amount of quarts without the proper tools, so you may just be replacing as much as you can.

too me this doesn't sound like a fluid issue, but for your sake I hope it is that simple. good luck!

 

Lol thanks for the support. Do you thinks its a computer issue? What if i reset it?

 

Sounds like the transmission is broken. 60 months is the drive train under warranty? Nissan may give you a new one.

 

I have a salvage title. They said its voided because of that.

 

let us know of the outcome sir.

 

It works fine if i downshift it manually. Im hoping its the computer. Ill try resetting it tonight

 

Oh sorry about that.
