My 1998 Maxima recently had the onboard computer reset. After a couple weeks of driving, I noticed that suddenly one morning the clutch was grabbing near the bottom instead of right at the top. I know that the Maxima is supposed to "adjust" to your driving style, so here is my question:

Is the clutch grabbing lower because of the way I drive, or is my clutch going bad? Having the pedal go closer to the bottom before grabbing does "fit me" better, and the clutch/tranny isn't slipping, I just wanna be sure this is an adjustment by the onboard computer and not my clutch going bad.

Can anybody here confirm for me if in fact this is one of the things that the Maxima's computer will "adjust"?

Thanks.

hmm weird, all I know is that the clutch system is closed. meaning there is no imput from the computer or any other system in the car.

 

There's something on this in the faqs.
