Brake pads
Is it normal for the front pads to wear alot faster then the rears. My front pads look like they need replaced but my rears look like they are brand new and they were all put on at the same time.

The pre-99 coils were made by hanshin, they switched manufacturers to mitsubushi for the '99's and those are the ones that are notorious for going bad, the hanshin coils rarely ever fail, the overall design never changed and you can intechange them just fine, they are nearly identical except for the name imprinted on them. |

transmission noise question
well i have just had my clutch replaced about 2 weeks ago and before i had it done when i would turn on my car from cold start with the clutch not pressed in, you could hear like a kind of grinding noise while in N, then when i put it in gear and accelerate, the sound would go away but when i let go off the gas it would make a weird sort of grinding noise again on the de-cel. any ideas, the sound gets less noisy when its warmed up but its still there, espcially on 1st and 2nd gear de-cel. also i have recently started leaking trans fluid, but i think this could be fault of the mechanic that installed my clutch. well any idea's on what can be wrong with my trans?

Why not go back to the shop you had it done and have them look at it since it happened after they worked on it?

It sounds like he had the problem before hand. Anyways, read the excellent new write-up by deegeesman in the maintenance sticky in the 4th gen forum.

PM dgeesaman about a rebuild, he's about 2.5 hr's from you, but his experience with 5-speed maxima trannsmissions is well worth the drive.

umm maybe they are too bouncy? thats why it feels loose in the turns? maybe, maybe not? What kind of loose are you talking about (like not all your bolts are tight and feels like its going to fall apart)?

it feels like it moves horizontally, not too much tho, but enough for me to notice it.
my wife drove that suspension to the ground, i just installed these gr2s not too long ago, and then i started driving it, and i feel the looseness in the rear, i'll check the bolts through out the rear suspension see if any need tightning.
i just got done reading about a RSB, i don't think i will solve the problem but i think it may help...????
thanx once again

it could help the problem with the body roll (which may be your problem) other would be larger wheels and low profile tires, but only after you find out if your mechanically sound.

http://maxmods.dyndns.org/ this site is probably in this thread already but ill post it agian... this site IS GOLD!!!! use it, live it, love it!
I would say though get a strut bar, rear sway, and link up some tokico blues (I think those are the sturts that are close to stock just a bit stiffer.

Is this issue re: your foglamp bracket? Have you looked into replacing just the bracket? You might have some luck finding some used in good condition here
www.car-part.com
or a new one at a decent price here:

Interesting.............i pulled all the injectors out of my 99. 5 hanshins and a duralast like you get at autozone. Just got the car and it only has 70K miles, so apparently ALL SIX got replaced?

I would say that your slave cylinder is bad. Easy/cheap fix. Or you could of lost all your fluid and have a leaking line... but my guess is the slave cylinder.

I'm going to get semi techinichal here. It might be your pressure plate like the guy at work said, or it might be you're clutch hydraulics like the last poster mentioned. Either way it is something to do with your 'clutch release mechanism'. You push the pedal, that makes a hydraulic 'master cylinder' get pushed inwards, which transmit's that force hydraulically to the 'slave cylinder' located on the trannsmission bellhousing, the slave cylinder pushes on the 'clutch release fork' that goes into the bellhousing, this in turn pushes on the fingers of the clutch pressure plate via the throw-out bearing, the pressure plate fingers have a fulcrum pint and pushing in on them releases pressure on the clutch disc itself.... Mainly, it comes down to 2 things, either a faulty pressure plate or other internal problems, or a problem with the hydraulic release system. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder and look for leak's in the lines, than have an assistant press the clutch pedal while you watch to see if the slave cylinder is pushing in and out on the release fork that goes into the trannsmission. Buy a haynes or chiltons before asking for clarification on anything listed above.
