Hi,
I have a question and maybe someone could help. I have a 3rd gen VG Maxima with a 5spd tranny. The problem is that it feels like it is hard for it to put it in gear, esp when going from 2nd to 3rd gear when the car is moving. Sometimes it grinds when going from 2nd to 3rd and sometimes when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone else? Do you think i have to bleed the system, need a new clutch, maybe a tranny problem? I know its not the clutch pedal adjustment, i just did that, but it didn't help. Thank you

Bleed it again and see. Could be a worn clutch now. If it's not these things, your 3rd gear syncro is going out.

 

Thanks,
I'll try bleeding the system, it hasn't been bleed for a while. I hope it's not the clutch, i had it replaced about a year and a half ago. It's a clutchmaster's stage III. I'll let you know. Thanks again
John
