Every engine will run with new plugs placed at any angle. Some engines run better with the plugs indexed, and the plugs last longer. The VQ is one of those engines.

The tranny could be puked, but it sounds more like a bad shift solenoid. Is it throwing any codes? If the solenoids are ok, then it could be a sticky valve in the valve body. Have you ever had the...

I'm almost positive the '95 Max had an electronic trans control, but it didn't have Drive-by-wire, DBW. The cable systems were a little more crude but probably adhered more to the traditional auto...

You guys are correct. It is the TCC unlocking, which is perfectly normal, at about 40-43mph. I never understood why Nissan would program the TCM like this though, every auto I've ever had unlocks...
