    Cluthes in Later Model Maximas...

    Can someone explain to me how the clutches in the later Maximas are
    designed ??

    I tried a 92 and a 98 Maxima and the clutch is hard as a rock...
    They don't depress down like the clutch in my 87 Maxima...

    I thought there was something wrong with the clutch...correct me if I'm
    wrong ???

    What's the deal with the clutch in the later model Maximas ??

    In my 87 maxima, the clutch has about 6 inches of play if not more when I
    press it down, but in the newer cars I have driven there is very little -
    if any, play at all. The clutch is hard as a rock.

    any ideas ?

    thanks...

    Not sure about the 92, but I believe 95 or later are hydraulic. Maybe
    they had some sort of aftermarket high performance clutch or improper
    maintenance (something kinked or cooked hydraulic fluid from riding the
    clutch).

    The clutch in my 95 SE is over 10 years old (original, purchased May 94)
    and has always been easy. And that has included a considerable number of
    Solo II events (parking lot slaloms) and high speed autocross (2 mile
    track).

    Those Maximas you drove must have had aftermarket clutches put in. My 98
    SE when stock had a smooth and light clutch pedal. I 'upgraded' to an
    aftermarket clutch, it was stronger and could grab the engine like the
    OEM never could, but it was also tougher to push the pedal and harder to
    do smooth clutch engagements. Basically, you could teach a new driver
    on the OEM, but definitely not on aftermarket.
