What does it mean when U have an automatic transmission..and it does not shift until the needle hits redline...? even under grandmother driving style?????

This is what my 99 nissan sentra is doing...I hope its not a MAJOR issue that will cost ALOT of money to fix.......

so...why aint my car shifting when its suppose to?????? any guesses?

throttle cable for a transmission issue? hmm.

was the car not shifting properly at any time before this happened?

trans fluid good/need to be changed, or the filter?

yea in my 93 mustang the car will occasionally not shift or it will shift very late. I took to a local mechanic and was told it was the throttle valve cable. I am just going with what I was told.

Don't quote me on this but I think this sounds similar to something I heard and the fix was to replace the vacuum modulator.
