| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 nissan max se, 6 sp manual transmission. My clutch failed completely out of the blue at 76k miles, currently has 98k. I can barely shift in for the first 20 minutes from cold start, it slips out of gear while driving, sometimes the clutch loses pressure. The dealership was of no help to me. I have been driving stick exclusively for 20 years and this is the worst clutch i have ever driven. I constantly have shift shock and the car is not enjoyable to drive, whatsoever. |
