Nice car.
I used to post on Maxima.org, but quit after I sold my problem child 89 SE. I also can't get there from work anymore. It could get pretty snotty there at times.
I would pull off the top cover and use some kerosene. If there is any gritty material inside the trans, you may want to disassemble it, clean it well and reassemble it. I've acquired some pretty crappy cars and not had any with the trans fluid come out like jelly.
