I'm sure there are tons of people that have the same issue as me. If anyone has fixed their transmission issues with a brand new TCM, please chime in. I don't know about everyone else, but driving my car like this makes me feel disappointed that I even bought the car...seems like Nissan shouldn't have let such a common problem slide without some kind of recall...but of course I know that would be way too expensive for them to acknowledge. I really like my car, but I'm hoping that getting the transmission problem fixed will make me love my car like I did the day I bought it...

Looking through the FSM it does give the valve body as a solution. Your car is out of warranty, a valve body is $1200 plus labor. Since most seem to be getting well past 100k miles even with the problem, I guess it is easier to just live with for a couple minutes a day than spend that kind of money.
I am on the fence about putting in the shift kit. I am sure it will fix the issue but with 143,000 on the transmission I'd hate to spend the money then have to do it again in 20,000 miles in a replacement tranny because my transmission is just flat wore out.
