clutch knee syndrome

I was walking around Downtown Denver this weekend and my knee was feeling weird. Not hurting or anything, just felt like I had lactic acid buildup in my knee. I guess I need to get more used to the stiff clutch of the Maxima eh?

I'll have to start doing weight excercises

I drove my friends Accord, and his clutch is so much lighter than mine. Does the maxima have a relatively stiff clutch, or am I just not used to it?

I've got steering elbow >>

Been feeling tightness in my elbow joints lately since moving to the big city and having to steer around all of those potholes.

Heh, the max's clutch feels like butter to me, since it's the first hydraulic clutch I've owned/driven. First two weeks it was real tough cause I couldn't even tell I was pushing on the pedal, it felt so light to me.

Back in the days of aimless teenage wandering in my old acura...now that was optimal conditions for clutch-knee right there...cable clutch driving around all through the city w/traffic and stoplights for hours...

yeah driving in rush hour traffic is a PITA. Like I said, my friend's accord feels like my gas pedal..its that light

I think if I would've learned how to drive a 5sp on it instead of in my max, it would have been a lot easier. I don't see how you can stall that car...of course now I don't understand how I could ever stall my Max either

i agree with blizz this is the first hydrualic clutch for me too and it still feels like butter for me... my past vehicle was so hard at times in traffic i would have to use both feet with a semi heel-toe going cause my leg got so tired... lol
