transmission get stuck in 5th gear sometime?

[Rohanmax14]

2004 Nissan maxima 101,000 mile on transmission 5spd auto.

It get stuck from now on. No cel on y not? Could this be cam crank sensor?

In past we clean throttle body n we touch buttle fly anybody know what buttle fly look like so I know if we touch that or not?

So the car just stays in 5th at any speed? Does it start off in 5th?

[Rohanmax14]

No is only do that while driving down the road. If that happen I pull over n shut off the car n after 2nd crank everything back to normal.

When was the last transmission service? What is the level and color of the transmission fluid? Is the CEL on?

FYI, the 2004 Maxima has a 'drive-by-wire' electronic throttle actuator which has very sensitive components. Nissan does not recommend cleaning the Throttle Body (and butterfly valve) due to possibility of damage to actuator/sensors.
