All,
I've got a 2K Max SE, 5spd (54K miles) with what appears to be a noisy clutch cable or mechanism when depressing the clutch. I had a friend peek into the engine compartment while I repeatedly operated the clutch. The noise seems to originate from outside the transmission and from what is visible, a cable with a rubber boot over it, under the intake/airbox tubing. It is kind of metallic squeak/groan noise. I can shift fine with no resistance or binding and there doesn't appear to be any other associated problems, just noisy.
This is my first Maxima. I consider myself reasonably handy with tools and have done complete clutch/brake/struts/CV axle/water pump/timing belt work on a previous vehicle ('89 Jetta).
Has anyone with a manual Maxima had this problem? If so, what was the fix. NissTech, your thoughts?
TIA
