Description of the problem	I have a 2004 nissan maxima that is having transmission problems. It doesn't properly engage when upshifting, usually allowing the rpm's to rev up and then slams into gear jerking the car forward. I don't know of any events that have contributed to this failure. This occurs every time the car is warmed up. I have had the transmission looked at by a nissan dealer and a private transmission company. Both say it needs to be replaced. The private dealer attributes the problem to a lack of cooling lines going into the transmission and believed this would be a common problem. After looking online, it is obvious that i am not a unique case. People across the country are complaining about the same issue. I'm concerned that the transmission malfunction will lead to an accident, but cannot afford to replace the car or the transmission. According to several websites, replacing the transmission is only a temporary fix, as this problem seems to be a design flaw, so any replacement will be susceptible to the same failure.
