I don't know if the V6 would benefit from a look at the software. Good luck. Cheers!

I think when i bring it in for a flush, i'll have them program it with the latest software. We'll see what it does.

Didn't bring it in for a flush yet, but...... I signed up for the service website and looked through my service history and found this.

I'm thinking my car had the same problem as my dad's nissan xterra. Radiator and tranny cooler are 1 unit, some seals in the unit went bad and the 2 mixed at some point. So my transmission may be F'd???

There is a TSB for the transmission shifting issue when it's cold. The dealership programmed it for free and filed it as a recall. It hasn't been cold lately, and won't be for several more months obviously, and it hasn't done it since the weather warmed up.
