Well I have had my truck since about November and this problem hasn't seemed to go away. When I take off and the truck shifts from 1st to 2nd it shift very rough. After looking through some of the older threads, it seems like some think this is normal. That's fine if that's the case. But then there is the fact that when I take off and have to give it a lot of gas, sometimes it won't downshift at all, and sometimes when I come to a stop..it just stays in 2nd gear and never downshifts to first. Now I did have a problem with losing first gear when I bottomed out the first time I took it off road, but this only happens occasionally. What really annoys me the most is the whole problem I have when I go to pull out quickly and it doesn't downshift, or when I'm driving down the road and I want to speed up and it just sits there a few seconds and then it downshifts when it's almost to the floor. Is it a Nissan thing, or should I be worried about my transmission? I don't know when the last service on the transmission was, or if it ever was serviced and I am at 91k miles. Would a transmission service (filter/fluid change) fix this? I'm stumped. The fluid doesn't smell burnt and it isn't discolored..thanks in advance for any help.
