Hi,
I have a 1992 Nissan Maxima with Automatic Transmission. I have noticed that in the last couple of weeks, when I brake and if the car stops quickly, the transmission sort of stalls and the whole car seems to go to neutral and a couple of seconds later, the car downshifts to its lowest gear - the gear you go into when you start to drive from a complete stop. Any idea as to why this is happening? Otherwise, the engine seems to be running fine. No warning lights. If I brake slowly, the car seems to downshift smoothly. But on congested highways it is hard to brake slowly :-) Also, on no occasion has the engine stalled and turned off.
Any help or advice would be deeply appreciated.
