Hey everyone, I was hoping for some help. My 08 G35 sedan makes a small noise and strong shift in the wheel when im doing relatively sharp turns in the car. It only does it going less then 5mph hour. The best example is if Im pulling out of a parking spot and turning left. The wheel is not maxed out but when i start to turn it does a small shift movement. It like something is slipping. I have taken it to the dealership and they have said that its the stopper on the rack and pinion and that it cant be fixed cause that is how the car is made. I def do not agree with this since it wasnt happening when i bought it. Can someone advise me on if they have expierenced this or how to possibly fix it. Thanks for your time -Mike |

here is question: guys - is there a clutch in an automatic car? i say yes...the dealer says no. i know its a "torque converter". however, there is more to it than just that.... tell me what do you think on the web, out there? just for info.... i may go to pepe infiniti for service. Infiniti of Englewood is filled with limited experience kids, who leave your car in a sloppy condition.

Replying to: sportsfan (Feb 17, 2009 7:28 am) Probably what you experienced is a terminology confusion. Most often, I suspect that when a repair shop addresses a consumer, they will use the term "clutch" to refer to the clutch and/or clutch pedal found in a conventional standard shift transmission. Maybe they just didn't want to get into all the esoteric uses of the word "clutch" for electronic overdrives and "manumatic" transmissions.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 17, 2009 8:42 am) You are dead on. I told the young man that the theory is the same, while we may be using different terminolgy. Still, he was steadfast that there is no clutch in an automatic car. He asked me "are you sure about that? I've taken transmissions apart", when I told him that all cars have some sort of clutch. I told him that I would bet my last dollar and his too (I made a joke out of it, to lower the tension abit). He stuck to his position. Btw, thank you to blogger who gave me the "howstuffworks" link. I'd read it before, it's a great info source. I think it's a great conversation and gives us mere car driving mortals an understanding of how our vehicles work, when we take our cars to the mechanic. - The fan... |
