Description of the problem	I purchased a 2004 nissan maxima and it all seemed fine for a bit but once i hit around 90k miles, the transmission started having problems. First, when i shift from park to any other gear. It seems to either hesitate to shift into gear and once it does it shifts in a horrible knock! I took it in for service and they replaced motor mounts. I suggested it may be the transmission, the dealership ignored that. Now, it continues to do the same problem as well as slip gears while in motion. It usually slips from 1st to 2nd, or 2nd to 3rd. It causes the car to rev and shifts when it wants. That makes it snap even harder. This to me seems very dangerous and i don't know what to do because my car just ran out of it's extended warranty. I don't have the money for a transmission repair. Also, there has not been a fire, property damage, or crash that i know of. However, this is an extreme safety hazard on the road.
