can a 215/45R17 be used to replace a 225/65-17 tire

Sounds like the thrust bearing. Greg.

Or a sticky master or slave cylinder.I doubt they would be anxious to fix this, but maybe if you pushed hard enough.

Sounds like your seals are worn out. Bad seals don't allow the fluid pressure to keep the clutch packs engaged fully which does not transmit the rotational power. It feels like a slipping manual clutch but when you rev it up, the pressure builds and then the clutch pack engages, but then slips as the pressure bleeds off. You can pour in a can of that tranny fluid conditioner which has some kind of methyl ethyl ketone chemical that swells the rubber seals. It'll help for awhile but it won't be long until you be standin' still!!! Mine cost me

Or the clutch packs are just shot at 180K...

It's too late for that to fix anything..

Exactly.

So you bought a Kia? Did you mistake it for the Toyota dealer?

though i had no idea on the precise diagnosis, i've been planning on the car kicking for about twelve thousand miles anyway. i would rather spend 6 or 7k for a new civic/corolla/sentra than have a rebuild. i'm about to start law school, so i need to have a car that i can rely on for the next three years without problems. anyone here ever drive a sentra? worth a damn?

btw, is it common to only experience these symptoms when driving uphill? i just don't get why this isn't a more frequent occurence.

I've got an 01 SE Automatic. I've gotten as high as 28 MPG highway and usually average 18 - 22 MPG city.

Ok ,thanks.

Well, I have two issues when braking only:

The struts (or the strut mounts - whatever the problem is) is more of an annoying sound than anytihng else. I had my share of annoying sounds with my '01 VW, so I just don't feel like hearing them anymore. :)

Move the tires around on the car - if the 'shimmy' is reduced or gone but the 'pulsation' is still there you have at least 2 problems - bad tire(s) and 'warped' (probably heat damaged) rotor(s).

you may have 2-3 different problems.

Hi,

Any one with a 4th generation Maxima had had work done to repair the torque converter clutch in their auto tranny? The SEL came on and I read the code, then cleared the code. It has come on several months ago. It was cleared then also. No drive-ability issue exist yet, but I would like to know what is involved in having this repaired eventually.

Thanks,

Ok, of all you Maxima owners out there how many own a standard and how many an auto? I am considering buying one and initially wanted the 6 spd standard but it is hard to find. Most of them seem to be auto. Should I just go with an auto? I like the standards just because they make it a bit more fun to drive.

The standards are much more fun to buy, but as you noticed fairly rare. Still, they are out there if you're determined enough.

Still running great and looks fine, getting around 23-25mpg, and no horrific repairs to date.

I love this car, but alas, I should start saving money for a new one

I don't know anyone that owns a new Sentra, but I did own a 94 Sentra (5 speed manual) prior to buying my Max last fall, and I can tell you that it was absolutely reliable. In fact, I think very few economy cars could ever come close to it for durability, reliablility and low cost of ownership. Other people that I know personally, who had the same generation of Sentra, also share my sentiments. I can only hope that Nissan has been able to maintain that standard of quality with the current line of Setras.
