well.... took my 03 tourin to the dealer on saturday 7-23-05 for 3rd gear grind, tikin axel, and window grease.

lets see what they tell me on monday when they call me back to see what the deal is....

keep u kats posted on the outcome..

 

Have you heard back from the dealer yet? I'm taking my '03 in tomorrow for the same three things. Are you refering to the 'tikin' as when maybe you are turning and braking at low speed and it pops a little? Kinda like you ran over something?

 

what's the verdict on the tranny? I took mine in today, no word yet.

 

i just called the dealer and they told me they the car was bein tested and the testing was gonna take a bit longer because they gatta do a hot and a cold test...

my "clikin" is anytime i stop, accelerate or go over bumps but i dont get a "pop"

 

got the call frm the dealer and they are replacin the trany, fixin the axl and the grease on the window. i should have my car back on thursday..... WHOOOPPPPPY...
looks like a happy endin afterall, but well haffta wait and see.

 

Is your clinking coming from the front? When you turn the steering wheel at low speeds? Because mine does that and it's been worrying me. Does it seem like steering or axles? I get very slight grind occasionally in 5th gear. Should I be worried about that? I'm just afraid that if I take it in and they replace all that that it won't run the same afterwards.

 

I get grease on the windows sometimes too, but it's really faint, just always streaks on the inside of the windows. I have almost 26K miles so I want to get this stuff fixed before I go out of warranty. Is this all stuff I should worry about? Thanks! Later,
Fletch

 

Sorry about this last post, I just want to subscribe to this thread and forgot, .

 

My is 05 with 14k plus.miles... I have the clicking noise from the rear axle every now and then.....especially when i go into gear..... it sound like metal on metal.... any one have any idea......no window streak... nor tire feather thus far...tires are still look really good though..

 

There is a tsb#04065 From nissan out for the rear axle clicking. Mine is getting fixed on fri for same problem.The dealer had to order parts,says they have to rebuild the rear axles.

 

Good deal! I got a call from my dealer as well, and I am getting a new tranny too!! They didn't have it in stock, so need to overnight it. I should get my car back on Wednesday, they said..

Hopefully this new tranny will fix all my grinding problems..
btw, getting new clutch too, which is good timing since I am at 47k miles!

 

if they change the "tranny" dont that include the clutch too?

 

Hey Apex, what dealer in Houston is replacing your tranny? Thanks

 

Baker-Jackson Nissan

 

I think so... I asked them anyway, just to make sure..

 

There's 2..north or south. thanks

 

Sounds like everything is working out so far for everyone in this post. I took mine in this morning and they are going to replace my tranny covered under the extended warranty. I have 37k miles on it. They have to order it and will get it thurs. Would the window grease issue be covered after the normal warranty is over? I'm going to tell them about the pop when I take it back in for the tranny...

 

Is this clinking in the steering in the front or the window grease or the 5th gear grinding things that I should get replaced? Or are they things that if they aren't bad maybe I should just leave alone?

 

Fletch - I've heard some take their car in to get the grease fixed. I would maybe wait until there are other problems and do it all at one time. Here is a Tech. Service Bulletin for the 'clunking' sound. http://www.infinitihelp.com/Ownershi...es/03088-1.gif I'm going to get them to look at that. It sounds like to fix it they just need to tighten up some bolts.

As far as the gears, mine got worse over the last 6 months. Mine was 3rd gear so I noticed it more than if it was 5th. At first it did it so rare that the dealership said they couldn't get it to grind. Now it does it every 3rd gear shift above 4k rpm. What might make you feel better is that the tranny is covered up to 60k miles.

 

Oh sorry Fletch, it pops it seems like only when I am turning, but I could be wrong...
