taking car in for checkup...anything I should tell'em to look at?
Hi guys,
I got a recall notice about the alternator problem on the 1997/1998 Maximas. I'm gonna be taking my car in to get it checked out sometime this week. I remembered reading something about a possible problem that Maxima's had with their transmissions (on manuals) or something that can make it go bad if not treated early. I forget exactly what the problem was and forgive me for my vague descriptions. But I was just wondering what other things I should have my car looked at/checked out, and maybe replaced while I'm there.
Thanks.
