I have an 04 pathy and it hesitates or some call it a flare in second and third, mostly third. It only happens when it has been sitting and is cold. If I take mu foot off the gas it will then just go into gear, but if driving, will rmp but nor go into gear. This happens for the first few miles of driving until it warms up. We did have a dlush done etc. I almost want to say it started after, but we only for thw teuck the wnd of January and had the flush etc and tune up done almost right away, but for the few times I drove it before the flush etc. I do not remember this happening. Another weird thing, if I warm the car up. In neutral there is no issue, but just warming the car up in park does not help, it will still slip a bit foong into second and third until driven some. Once warmed up, no issues. This is my first Pathfinder and first older truck. Really love it. It had a clean car fax, one owner and mint. No tow option so I know it was not used for towing. It has 105,00. On it but looks new. Also had new exhaust and muffler, new breaks, new tires, rear shocks, and I foeget what else, and no rust under neath, plus recall was taken care of and I think new ateuts too.
