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.

Replying to: dkarasin (Mar 28, 2008 5:40 am) Great News!   When I got my car back from the dealer I read the warranty information. The manual states that the Traction Control Module (TCM) is covered Parts & Labor for 7 years / 100,000 Mi.   I wonder if that will fix the problem.

Replying to: shotgunpet (Mar 30, 2008 11:38 am) I have not seen a good one anywhere. Suzuki does sell the shop manuals. Be prepared they are not cheap. try the following.   ">Suzuki manualslink title   http://www.suzukipitstop.com   Then click on Vehicle information from the left and then Service manuals. They also sell Diagnostic trouble codes and service bulletins. Best of luck.
#391 of 424 A/T fluid changes? by carthell May 11, 2008 (8:39 am)
I have a 2003 Aerio with 77.2k miles on the clock. I'm trying to resolve a conflict between what the manufacturer recommends and what every other resource on the net suggests. My maintenance schedule says that the A/T fluid does not need changing until the 105k mile mark. Since the fluid level in the transmission case has not changed at all since buying the car off the lot new (wow), I'm inclined to go with that. Everybody else is stating that the transmission should be flushed every 30k miles.   Am I the only person here who hasn't changed the fluid yet? If you chose a more frequent interval to change the fluid, was the motivation precautionary or because of a specific issue?   -d Replies to this message: logmgr (May 11, 2008 12:07 pm) carthell (Feb 14, 2009 1:11 am) logmgr (Feb 14, 2009 3:29 am)
