i would have to bet on the speed sensor
Faulty vehicle speed sensor.
A very common cause would be the output speed sensor. It is on the driver side rear of the transmission.A very common cause would be the output speed sensor. It is on the driver side rear of the transmission.
No, but it could effect how the transmission shifts.

What problems will a bad speed sensor cause on a 1999 Nissan Maxima
cam or crank sensor
The trans is electronically shifted so the sensor being bad is a likely cause.
Typically, a bad "speed sensor" will provide an incorrect voltage input to the vehicles computer. That, in hand, would cause a problem in the speed-o-meter reading, as well as shifting problems.
The odometer gets its signal from the speed sensor, so if the (tailshaft) speed sensor is bad then the odometer obviously will not work
Yes
The vehicle speed sensor is located in the transaxle. If the technician forgot to pop the sensor far enough back into the hole, the tranny fluid could potentially leak out. I know, because this happened to me when I replaced my Speed sensor.
