Replying to: rbarnett (Feb 28, 2008 2:36 pm) I may not be correct,however, I believe that clutch to be fluid controlled, hence there is no adjustment. Check the fluid level. Replies to this message: rbarnett (Mar 04, 2008 2:40 pm)
#380 of 424 Loose plugs!! by brianm6 Mar 01, 2008 (12:27 am)
Thanks to logmar for the info on the oil, got that done   I checked the spark plugs and found them loose, did not have to use a handle on the socket/extension to take them off!! I had no info on the torque for the plugs, I set them at 20 foot/pounds, should do the trick...may not be a bad idea to check your spark plugs if you are experiencing poor gas mileage and or loss of power.   If any one knows the torque for the plugs, would not mind knowing how far off I'am at 20 foot/pounds.... I agree with the reply to the clutch problem: you may need a new clutch unless your fluid is low (or has somehow gotten air in the system); then make sure your foot is always on the foot rest, never resting on the clutch unless you are shifting gears (I also believe in leaving the shift lever alone, unless shifting gears also...

Replying to: brianm6 (Mar 01, 2008 12:27 am) According to the Suzuki Aerio service Manual, the answer is 18.0 lb-ft, FYI.   V Replies to this message: brianm6 (Mar 01, 2008 10:27 pm)

Replying to: pychogirlfrien (Mar 01, 2008 8:22 pm) Many thanks on the plug torque, will correct soon. I was surprise to find them so loose, and 2 of them had marks of leaking compression (car has now ~56K miles)

Replying to: rbarnett (Feb 28, 2008 2:36 pm) Mine is an 03 but I had a mechanically gifted friend help me once by adjusting the pedal position ?? as it was starting to slip before it want bad. This may not be what you are asking but I did want to add that online I found clutch kits for around $200 when I need to start shopping. Someone in town had one laying around and let it go for around $100. MY clutch went early likely due to my kids letting their frinds learn a manual trans on my car .... just a guess but it happened aroud 55,000 miles or so... good luck !

It's a hydraulic clutch, and I don't know why that makes it any less adjustable than any other clutch. Granted most clutches don't have a huge range of adjustment, but my mechanic said that he could adjust it somewhat. There are wet clutches and dry clutches, but that is a whole different subject.
#386 of 424 Transmission Control Module by dkarasin Mar 28, 2008 (5:40 am)
I have a 2003 Aerio SX AWD with the 4 speed Automatic transmission. I have had two problems that seem to occur more when the car is cold. The car will not shift into 4th gear until the engine cool light goes out. The dealer told me this was normal but I have had this car since '04 and I don't remember it doing this until about a year ago. Also the car will not always shift into the low gears from a stop. I can manually do it this some times causes a code P0717. The dealer checked the wiring and then decided that the Transmission Control Module was bad and not covered under the 7yr/100,000 mile power train warranty. The cost is $770 plus programming and installation.   There is now way I can spend nearly $1000 to fix this. Has anyone used one from a junk yard? What years and models would work?

Replying to: bindy (Feb 08, 2008 7:49 am) I hate my 2003 Aerio SX AWD. It has had a host of problems but the brakes and abnormal tire wear have not been among them. I have 90k miles on it and I did replace the front pads once and did not do anything to the rotors (shame on me). This reminds me the next time I rotate the tires I need to check the rear brakes.   I have a second set of steel wheels 14" for snow tires. I run snows for two winters and then run the next spring and summer to finish them off. Last summer I bought my first replacement 15" tires for summer use.   Driving habits, tire pressure, and alignment all affect tire life and driving habits drastically affect brake life.   I hope you don't have other problems with your car.
