Description of the problem	This issues is with a 2005 nissan frontier le. Shuddering at approximately 40-45 mph (seems to be while shifting) and sometimes between 80-85 mph. The sound and feel of this shuddering is very similar to driving over highway hazard speed bumps. I initially thought that road work had been done in certain areas and didn't realize the effect was emanating from my truck. Loss of horse power and miles per gallon are also a symptom of this issue. Some jerking movements in the lower ranges of shifting. During the shuddering it feels as though the tranny is trying to catch the next gear. If i accelerate or decelerate passed the above ranges the shuddering subsides till the next time i cross those ranges. This description is of the final symptoms at their very worst for my individual experience, leading up to this points has been gradual signs of the same issues beginning at the 50k-60k mileage ranges. Even though, to date, nissan corporate has known of this defect their dealerships/service depts seemed to be completely unaware of the issue till i was well passed the extended warranty (class action lawsuit imposed). At that point they became very informative of the problem and its symptoms. On several occasions (months if not yrs ago) i had mentioned these symptoms and was told fluids were checked and ok'd by techs and service reps, but reading into the issue now i have learned it is very easy to spot if you truly do know what you are looking for or actually check the fluids as i suspect they never did.
