Today while driving i noticed something funny. 1st and 2nd gear are good and strong when i shift into 3rd and floor it the rpm go up drop then it goes... kinda hesitating like it wants to go but its thinking about lol... is this a sign for a slipping clutch?? Tia

 

anybody???? i changed my fuel filter today didnt help much, gonna try to change the spark plugs tommorow and see what happens...

 

run for codes, check air,fuel filters,clean throttel body, and so on

 

can i check codes if i dont have a check engine light on???

 

Sure can. Read the stickies for how.

 

anyone else want to share their similar experiences or just simply give me some input on this??? Ive already done the following: cleaned tb, changed fuel filter added fuel injector cleaner, and am going to replace the spark plugs tommorow to see if it helps any... otherwise im stumped...??? Tia

 

my slipping causes vibrations and fast drop in rpms, usually happens in the morning after the tranny has had all night to leak some gear juices onto the clutch.

 

Im really wondering if this is a sign of a slipping clutch i will try to post a video up tommorow... 1st gear is great as well as 2nd i dont know what the problem can be??? I can start of in 4th gear as a friend suggested to see if the clutch is bad... When im in lets say 3rd, 4th or 5th gear and put the gas pedal to the floor the rpm goes up then drops like 500rpm quickly then goes back up before the max begins to move.....

 

Yes, it is.

10 char.

 

Dayyumm... where can i get the clutch replaced in CT for a good price???

 

If you got any maxima meet buddies you could just do it yourself with help. But if no one has mechanical skills then prepare to spend about $400.

 

Fairly easy to DIY if you are half of a mechanic.

 

400 just for labor. Clutch is usually around 700 - 800 with parts.
