#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.
#3984 of 4048 Humming noise from passenger-side rear area by dr_rebel Apr 08, 2009 (8:45 am)
Hello all,   I recently bought a used 2001 Nissan Maxima SE with ~50,000 miles on it. The car is in great shape except for one thing. There is a humming noise coming from the passenger rear area. It starts around 25 mph, then gets loudest around 40 mph, and then it gets quieter (and higher in frequency) around 65 mph. The frequency increases with speed. It alsmot seems like a vinration that somehow gets transmitted through the suspension, I can even sense it with my feet when driving.   I was convinced that it was the wheel bearing, so I had both passenger-sode wheel bearings replaced. The noise is still the same. The mechanics have been trying to blame it on noisy tires. I have Sunny SN3800 225/45R17 tires on it, which are almost brand new. At low speeds, especially when coming to a stop, the tires are very loud (they sound like riding a mountain bike on a road).   Any ideas what this noise could be? Is it the tires, or something else?   Thanks in advance for any suggestions, as this noise drives me totally crazy.   Martin Replies to this message: sanjaysdca (Apr 08, 2009 11:55 am)

Replying to: dr_rebel (Apr 08, 2009 8:45 am) If I remember correctly 2001 comes with full size spare. Swap one wheel/tire out and see if sound pattern changes. If it does then may be its tires.   Also try asking on maxima.org forums.
#3986 of 4048 2003 SE, 72,000 miles by easypar Apr 09, 2009 (10:09 am)
No problems with the car, although the blower motor is noisy in cold weather, which we won't have much more of here in CO until this fall. I'd been kicking around getting a new car, I like the new Max but the price-ouch! So we're considering keeping this a few more years.   Obviously we don't put lots of miles on our cars since I quit work, I was a sales rep putting 55,000/year back then. The Max is a solid car, ride is OK and it hasn't had any maintenance issues. I did the rear brakes about a year ago and the front about 2 years ago, I replaced the battery when I did the front brakes because my local shop had the brand I wanted and I was doing some TX to CO trips to ski and didn't want to get hit with one on the road.   From reading all the posts on here there's nothing inherent with Maxs that I should worry about, but I have never changed the tranny fluid or plugs. I know this engine has a timing chain instead of belt so no worries about that bill in another year.   Are there any issues out there that any of you suggest I take care of? Even a couple of hundred $ per month in maintenance is much less than the hit on a new car. Although in a couple of years there might be some '09 Maxs on the used market.   BTW, oil and filter every 5,000 miles, tires rotated every 10,000 and I run 85 or 87 octane regular gas. 27MPG highway, but I usually keep it right around 70 or a tad slower.   Thanks in advance.   easypar
