Clutch TSB and Hesitation TSB....Dealership refusing
WEll I took my car in for the Clutch TSB and the Hesitation TSB, because my warranty is about out and I want to get everything taken car of. They called me and told me that the fixed my clutch noise and it had nothing to do with the TSB. He said that they lubed the slave cylinder. Sounds like BS to me, and I told him that if I come pick my car up and it still makes that noise I will be ****ed. Then he said that they can't perform the Hesitation TSB be I have voided my warranty with my Injen. I told him that he is full of **** and that he can't make those claims unless he can prove it. and after I said that he was like..." well we really havent looked at it in depth yet, I will call you tomorrow."....So yet again the F*cking Dealerships are trying to F*ck me a new one.

Anytime deals see a visible mod on your car they pull your warranty.. You should have brought the car back stock so you won't have to hear any BS from them. But you are right though, they cannot refuse it unless they prove that your mod caused the damage. Just bring it up with their head office.

Clutch TSB? What is the cause of the clutch TSB? I am getting an odd noise during some takeoffs, especially of the car is rolling back a bit and I start to go forward. I've been meaning to take it in, but if I could go in armed with a TSB that might help.
As for teh dealer, I had the same prob with the hesitation issue. I ended up going to another dealer who I found through the forums here. He was actually the guy who posted the original PDF of the hesitaion TSB.

If a howl or groan noise is heard as the clutch pedal is "released" (as the vehicle starts moving), · A new clutch disc with updated friction material is available to repair the noise. This incident, if it should occur, can be duplicated by gradually releasing the clutch while accelerating with a light throttle. See this bulletin for further detail.

I just had my clutch TSB done and that noise went away which was good, BUT after that I started getting some loud metalic vibrating sound at low rpms when car is already in gear. So I went back and they said they fixed the noise by adjusted heatshield. They were right that noise went away. I guess heatshield was vibrating and making that sound.
Now when I thought everyting was fine, car started making very strange sound couple days ago. Whenever I am in gear or starting to engage in gear and I am pressing on the gas I hear this creaking, clicking sound.
Very annoying. I thought it was coming from the pedal when I was pressing on it, but the sound doesn't come up when I just press on pedals without engaging in gears.
I am bringing the car back for them to look at AGAIN. Really frustrated that that clutch TSB caused so many other issues. Nissan service is just plain horrible.

What's the latest opinion on the clutch howl TSB? My 2002 6-spd just started doing it at about 16k miles.
Is it really worth getting the TSB done? It sounds like it fixes the howl problem, but a lot of people ended up with other clutch related problems.
I don't know much about clutches, but is the friction material that the TSB calls for being replaced what normally wears out in a clutch after 100k miles or so? In other words, if my clutch was completely worn out, what other parts would they replace?
Thanks!
