I have a 98 Maxima Automatic 240 K started to notice this past week
that when the vehichle shifts to the next gear it seems rather abrupt
and causes a a bit of a jerk when switching gears. More prominent in
the lower gears but I think it is there in all ..... any ideas???
Thanks in advance

If you've never changed the fluid, change it with Dexron fluid. Could
be all it needs.

On the other hand, the friction material in the maxima tranny has a
typical lifespan of 150-175,000 miles, so you may have simply worn
through it.

If you need a replacement tranny, your best bet is to get a used one
from a junkyard, rather than a rebuilt, which are less reliable and
more expensive. That's just the weight of opinion on this board, I
have no personal experience.

My '87 Maxima did that until I got the tranny fluid changed and It shifts
fine now. I thought the tranny was going out on mine and turns out all it
needed was a fluid change.
