7AT acting strange after car was in body shop for seven weeks
2009 G37x Automatic Coupe, 74k miles
I've done a lot of searching and found a lot of discussion on throttle lag and slow shifting but I don't think any of them really line up with my specific issue. I know absolutely nothing about transmissions so my description will be terrible... Sometimes when I'm off the throttle for a few seconds like at a stop sign or turning a corner then apply the gas the car will act like it is in neutral, rev, and take a few seconds to catch a gear. The harshest example I can think of is when I was at a stop sign that was uphill, moved my foot from the brake to the gas and gravity started rolling the car backwards like it was in neutral while it revved to a few thousand RPM before engaging a gear and moving forward like everything was fine. This type of thing has also happened turning corners, off the throttle -> turn the corner -> back on the throttle and the car acts like it's in neutral for a second in the same way. I've had a short, rough history with this car.
It's really hard to describe the problem, if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I did the ECU reset a few times with no noticeable results. I'm lost. |
Could your accident have affected anything where the transmission cooler and/or lines have been damaged? Did the body shop have to remove or replace any items related to the transmission and possibly neglect to refill or check the fluid? I would have your fluid checked ASAP. Good luck |

The driver side radiator end tank has a small heat exchanger for the trans fluid. If they had to disconnect the trans lins to that exchanger, that could be part of the problem. |
I just started having similar issue with my 2010 g37s sedan. while driving to work it was jerky when shifting and would get stuck in D it would not listen when I shifted to sport (manual mode) and would also not listen to the paddle shifters when I would try to manually shift the car.
I also noticed that it would not let me use the shift know to shift it manuall in sport mode. Had to pull over and turn the car off and open the door then restart to be able to restore it. it happened 3 times on a 20 minute commute never given me any issues before. and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. would low fluid be a cause? I haven't seen any leaks. |
