Hello, i own a 02 maxima 6 spd

Last year i let my friend drive a fully loaded car, he revved up and dropped the clutch and let the tires spin. Ever since then, i noticed a loss in 1&2nd gear torque with a slight vibration. It has been getting progressively worse, but not too bad.

There is definitely a loss in torque 800-1400rpms. Its most noticeable when creeping few mph and taking off in 2nd gear.

Any thoughts?

 

better bring it to your mechanic... i think that's a serious problem..

 

Yeah.....dont let friends drive your car. Did you punch him after he did that? I would have.

Doesnt sound good. Possibly sounds clutch related to me but it couldnt have been good on the engine either.

 

Exactly what I was thinking. How many miles?

 

My thoughts are:

"Friends don't let friends drive stupid"

 

sounds like you are on your way to needing a clutch

 

Yea, it really doesnt bother me too much because i'm used to it but the loss of torque is annoying. The car has 100k on it with a stock clutch. Sometimes the petal gets half way stuck (doesnt spring back) so i think im due for replacement.
