Re: Xterra Transmission ???

It could be the fluid and filter. Transmission fluid does break down over time and thins out, so if it's been that long since the fluid was changed, it may be time for some fresh fluid and a new filter.
Another possibility would be a slight blockage in the valve body. Not necessarily a full on clog, just a little gunk that may restrict the flow of fluid and cause the delayed shift.
