1996 V6 nissan maxima with auto.

when i go from P or R to D the car does not move. It acts like it is stuck in neutral. I have to go from D to second then back up to D then it drives normally. Any idea where or what to look at ? Thanks in advance

shifter bushings. they're made of soft plastic and wear our over time, causing this problem. there's one on the tranny cable at the tranny and one on the bottom of the shifter assembly. veyr common problem. about $5 in parts. replacing them isn't horrible, but I can't give you a real estimate on time since I haven't don ehte job myself.
