Replying to: boogie560 (Mar 12, 2009 10:05 am) Maxman7 here, Hopefully for You the screaching Your hearing is just a loose or dirty drive belt, If it seems to get louder or change when You turn the steering wheel it is more than likely a belt. If You are mechanical at all You can fix that, There are Two belts on it and two adjusters one for each belt. One is located by the altinator on top of engine,and other is located by the power steering pump,on the lower part of engine. On each of the adjusters there is a adjusting bolt and a locking bolt. Make sure to loosen the lock bolt before trying to adjust the adjusting bolt,and make sure to tighten the lock bolt back after adjustments have been made. For referance the lock bolt is on front of adjuster and the adjusting bolt is on the top. I cant name off the lbs. spec,s off the top of My head,but if Ya need to now I can get it off a download for maxima,s I have,and I can give You the site to download that from. It is the program that actual Nissan tech,s use to go by and it covers every single nut & bolt on Nissan,Maxima,s. If it turns out it is not a belt issue it may be a worn out timing chain tensioner , that is a very common,bad design on 04 and up Maxima,s that requires pulling the engine out of the car, a real bummer deal. I hope this helps You. Maxman7
#3976 of 4048 Maxima - 98 - transmission issue ? not sure by vwakode Mar 24, 2009 (2:19 pm)
My 98 nissan maxima is giving me hesitation when trying to speed up on the ramp, even after I had my transmission rebuilt last year (spent approx 2700) . I took my car back to the aamco and they said they did not find anything wrong with the transmission (computer readings).   I had rebuilt my transmission last year with Aamco, less than a year after my car almost stopped on the road. wanted to keep the car for 2-3 years, and here you go it started giving me problems again. I have done all the services needed for the car but not sure what to do now?   98 Nissan Maxima - GXE 194000 miles currently 185000 miles approx when the transmission was rebuilt by aamco.   Any advise?

#3979 of 4048 transmission makes clang noise in and out of 2nd gear by birdboywins Mar 31, 2009 (5:14 pm)
I am the original owner of a 2K2 Maxima with a 6 speed manual transmission including the HLSD that has 104K miles on it. I noticed today that the transmission would sometimes make a quick clang (almost like a bell ringing, except it doesn't reverberate) shifting from 1st to 2nd and then from 2nd to 3rd. If I am very careful with depressing the clutch, I don't hear the clang. And it doesn't happen downshifting from 3rd to 2nd.   I haven't had any issues with the transmission prior to this. I am on the original clutch. The car has seen mostly highway miles and it is regularly serviced. The car has been great except for the rear brakes rusting out at 85K.   Anyone have an idea what this is? Replies to this message: 530ir1150r (Apr 01, 2009 2:14 pm) birdboywins (Apr 01, 2009 4:51 pm)

Replying to: birdboywins (Mar 31, 2009 5:14 pm) My guess is synchronizers. I'm also guessing you have never changed your transmission fluid. I'd change the fluid first using Red Line fluid and see what happens. Replies to this message: birdboywins (Apr 01, 2009 4:51 pm)
#3981 of 4048 2004 Maxima - question on ABS rear sensors by laurai Apr 01, 2009 (4:45 pm)
I have a 2004 Maxima SE, 6 speed with 126,000 miles on it. The ABS started making a "humming" noise. Note: Neither the ABS or Brake lights had come on. My dealer diagnosed the problem and stated both rear sensors would need to be replaced. After the diagnosis I drove the car 8 miles and the lights came on. My husband replaced both rear sensors - much cheaper than the dealer's quoted price. However, the lights are still on. My husband drove the car about 3 miles thinking the computer would reset itself - it did not. He also disconnected the battery - still it did not reset. He turned the key slowly and the lights are still on. Question: Does the dealer need to reset the computer? Is there another ABS module that has gone bad? Thanks for the help.

Replying to: 530ir1150r (Apr 01, 2009 2:14 pm) Thanks for the suggestion to change the fluid - I'll give it a shot.
#3983 of 4048 Re: 2004 Nissan Maxima CD Player Skipping issue [aamu_allenboi] by aggiedog Apr 03, 2009 (10:41 am)
Replying to: aamu_allenboi (Jan 01, 2009 11:13 pm) That problem dates back to the 02 model. I had mine replaced 4 times. Once they put one in brand new and didn't ever turn on. The last one worked for about a year before it started skipping and it graduated from just doing it in cold weather to all year round. Best you can do is go aftermarket. Crutchfield probably has one that will fit right in there. I just traded my 02 in two months ago. While I miss the car a little, I don't miss that jacked up cd player.
