1996 Nissan Maxima
Automatic Transmission
Mileage unknown, will approximate at 130k.
When I first start the car, I shift it into reverse and back it out of the driveway. No Problem. When I put it in drive and gently step on the gas the car does not go anywhere at first. I need to shift in and out of drive and gently accelerate again to get it to move. Once on the road, it is 100% fine. It runs fine and shifts smoothly. About 30k miles ago I had the transmission fluid changed. I used the good synthetic stuff. I check the fluid regularly and the color and level are exactly where they need to be.
Is this an indication that my transmission is on its way out? Any preventative maintainance I can do to extend transmission life at this point?
The car has always been absoloutly babied, always been driven VERY gently.
Please let me know.
