the transmission is not shifting gears when i drive it at low rpms , it does when i floor it
the oil is clean dont smell burn , anybody had this problem before?

Not shifting? or getting into top gear so soon that you're not aware of it shifting?

And if you floor it, it shifts? That's kinda weird. Fluid level correct?
yes it shift hard when i floor it , are this trans electronic? i had a problem like that with a pathfinder the tps fix it so i wonder if it has something to do with it

Not sure, but I don't think it's electronic.
According to my manual, for no 1-2 shift:
Check Range selector linkage, Vacuum diaphragm and piping, Kickdown solenoid, switch and wiring, and some other stuff in decreasing order of probability.
For excessively high 1-2, 2-3, and 3-4 shift points:
Check ATF level and condition, same stuff as above, and fluid pressure (line and governor).
