Hi all,
I am a recent owner (about a week) of a 2000 Maxima SE, 5-speed manual transmission.
I've noticed starting from a standstill some vibration while I'm engaging the clutch into first gear. Once I'm in first, no problem. Transitions from first to second, second to third, etc., are all very smooth. Has anyone else had this problem, should I have the car checked, is this normal? The car only had 34 miles on it when I purchased it.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Dave

I have a vibration in the gas pedal...
its almost like a buzz (if you can feel a buzz 
it varies with throttle. Like getting a foot message. doesnt always do it. its only annoying because I know it shouldnt do it. I suspect its some exhaust mount resonating...

I believe he was referring to clutch chatter...
I've been told by a long time Nissan mechanic that clutch chatter is notorious in the manual transmission Maximas.
I don't think it's possible to fix it, but I just put in Redline MT-90 and it seems to have improved a lot, like 50-75% better. I know the manual trans fluid has NOTHING to do with how the clutch/flywheel engage, so I'm still thinking it's all in my head. Hopefully, after some more driving I'll be able to convince myself it's still happening.
