driving stick has been a work out for me in more than one way. My clutch pedal has been terribly hard to push down and all this time i lived in a lie thinking it was cause of my stage 1 clutch (exedy). I ignored the issues and blamed the clutch until other issues occurred which made me think twice (cant shift into gears). I thought it was the cylinders (master or slave) but thanks to a entrepreneur mechanic, i discovered the issue and it only cost me 2.50 and about 15 minutes of my time.

I had f*cking air in my clutch lines. After bleeding that b*tch, and refilling with brake fluid, i became the happiest man ever. I pushed my clutch down and it felt SLIGHTLY harder than my friends stock clutch. OMG what a difference. My clutch feels soo perfect its amazing. It grabs so well as always but now i'm not killing my leg to make smooth shifts. This was the final obstacle to a well driving car. In a month i had boost leak, oil leak, bad knock sensor, issues with car cutting off due to BOV letting out too much air, and the most evil one of them all, problem sshifting.

I drove today and just couldnt stop. My power is back, my shifting feels better than it has probably been since i bought the dam car. I'm truly happy and i appreciated today cause there are not that many days that you can really look at your car, drive it and feel happy about everything. Dont get me wrong i still have a trunk that cant open and my sunroof cover popped out of its hinges, but the driveability could nto be better.

Thank you maxima.org and all those i bothered about fixing these problems





















time for a dynotune
