Hey guys, while driving with me my dad noticed kind of a knocking when switching from 1st to 2nd gear. It seems like the car is a manual almost, like there is that little "kick" between the gears. Its not really bothering me, I just dont want it to be a problem that can get worse. This pretty much only happens 1st-->2nd gear, and happens most of the time. Thanks for the help!
my car has that little kick too my step dad said its a shift lock or somehting like that. what i do is right before it shifts from 1st to 2nd i let off the gas so it dont kick hard.but im sure thats hard on the tranny but it feels alot smoother. but thats just me

and also, does the fluid look and smell burnt??? if so, it's also likely to have been slipping and burning, and when does this occur??? is it intermittent or always???hot or cold???
Fluid is 100% good on everything, smells good, and to the touch is smooth, not gritty or anything. It occurs pretty much always, but for some reason i feel it more when i jam on the gas really quick.
My car kicks also when shifting. According to the manual this is normal because of the overdrive feature. It goes away after driving for about 10 minutes or more.
really? I noticed that as well, thanks for easing my concerns, usually it does go away after 10 minutes now that i think about it. Unless it could be something else, does anyone know? Thanks a lot guys! BTW, starforece, where are you in NJ?

My '92 Sentra GXE has this kick as well when shifting from 1st to 2nd
And it doesn't go away in 10 or 100min of driving.
And it strarted doing that only a couple of years ago. I tried to find a problem but nobody could tell what that is.
my friends hard shifting was due to really low almost frozen fluid we parked his car in a heated garage and swaped the fluids runs much better now
Nah, nothing so obviuos unfortunately.
I changed ATF and filter using Nissan OE parts, it's all the same kick. The old fluid was in good shape as well.
If you want to squeek your wheels, let off the gas right before it shifts, and in the middle of the shift, gun it, and your wheels will squeak. (At least mine do.) This is probably about as good for your car as sugar in your oil, but it's kind of fun.
Mine shifts hard, and has always shifted hard. I've been paranoid about the ATF level, but it has always looked good. No burning smells either. I would like to swap to a standard tranny someday, so I don't have to worry about this, but every time I get the money something always comes up... insurance, registration, school... jeeze.
