Hey,

I have a 96 Maxima GLE Automatic just recently i noticed that when im driving once and a while it will jump between 2nd and 3rd gear for a second before going into gear. Its got a full cattman exhaust on it and is throwing a cel for a knock sensor but other than that drive normal. it seems like a transmission to me but just hoping maybe it could be something else any help would be appreciated. thanks

12 years is good life for a FWD AT. A KS code will select a emergency lower ignition advance curve which can make for sluggish acceleration and shifting. Fix known problems first.
