2001 Pathfinder LE (Car Jerks b/t 40mph and 50mph) ???

Hey All,

I've owned the Pathy since this summer ... other than HIGH gas prices, and a new fuel pump, she's been running well.

However, within the past few weeks, there's been a slight hesitation when going between 40 and 50 mph. The car is already in 4th gear/OD at this point, not sure why it's 'jumping.'

Any suggestions? The Pathy has about 82,000 miles on it right now; not sure when the last tranny flush happened ... not sure if that would help at all or not. Has this ever happened to anyone? I pray there's nothing wrong with the AT transmission.

Thank you in advance,
Alex

PS: One piece of good news, I did get 18mpg on a recent road trip ... yeah!
