"rolling" when in gear?
hey guys, haven't been on in a while cause of work and junk, but was just wondering if any of you guys are having a problem, if it is a problem, with your '03/'02 6 speed max's rolling when you're parked and in gear. of course, this doesn't happen on a flat surface, but even the slightest degree will start rolling her. i know that it's going to roll if it's on a larger hill, but even a very small one? is there something wrong w/ my clutch? it feels weird and at times hard to shift, but then again it's always been like that. tia.

with a 6spd, doesn't matter if the car is in a inclined surface or flat. If the car parked in 1st gear or whatever gear, the engine is off. It SHOULDN'T still be moving.

Ever since I make sure it's always left in gear AND the parking brake is on, and tell my wife to do the same. At 60K that timing belt is gone for sure.

CCS2k1Max -- timing belt?
I was under the impression Maximas had timing chains.
When your chain starts to stretch or gets out of adjustment you will hear a loud ticking/clacking as it hits the top of the cover. This can be as simple as a 20 minute repair to tighen it back up.

Do not use the gear shift in place of
the parking brake. When parking, be
sure the parking brake is fully en-
gaged.

If even the slightest incline causes the car to roll when using just the trans then you have a problem. As new as the car is this shouldn't happen.
I know some cars will roll when reverse is used but I only use 1st.
As far as resting the weight of the car on the gears. What kind of a load do you think is on them when you nail it off the line or chrip 2nd.

As for the rolling while in gear, I am not about to try to "duplicate"...

Now that the crappy OEM pads are broken in, the sticking hasn't happened any more.

wow, thx for all of the help guys. the reason why i typically don't use the e brake is cause when i used to do it all the time w/ my svt, it would get locked and am kind of afraid that it'll do it again. but i have been using it ever since i learned that it rolls when i'm in gear. but thx again for the help guys.
