Hi my name is Kevin and i am new to Nissan's and the forum. I will warn you in advance - I don't know a lot about cars. :crazy:

I just bought an 2002 Maxima with an automatic transmission and 157K miles. I think it has a 3.5 liter V6. A few weeks after I bought it I noticed that every now and then when I step on the gas it would slip for a second then catch and it would make the tires chirp. It has happened a couple times in the middle of a turn and once leaving a red light also im not sure if its is abnormal but seems like there is more resistance than there should be when taking the car out of park.

I am worried that the transmission is about to give out. I'm looking for any advice that you can give me. Thank you for your assistance.

Welcome to NICO!

Have you checked the transmission fluid level? A low level could possibly cause your concern.
