I guess its normal for the Familia. It because my gf was looking to buy s 2nd hand sentra months ago and among other cars we tried, there was one sentra a/t which had a very pronounced shift-shock. It was strong enough to jerk your head backwards for half-a-sec... The guy trying to sell it said it was "normal" for that model sentra. Sheesh!!! I didn't mention I already drove 3 other sentra a/t that day and another 4 before that day!
And that guy was a sales guy from Nissan UN Ave pa!!!!
