Iv been reading these complaints bout Pedals sticking for awhile and never had the prob but noticed that there are two Code Number Trannys. CD008 and CD009. CD008 has an Inline Orifice on the hard line comeing off the M/C going to the Flex Hose and was wondering weather this may be a factor.
If there was a blockage Prob--- Hi pressure allowing pressure to be applied but a blocked orifice not allowing pressure to be released.
Input Please

 

Thanks for the listing the possibility. Mine stuck last week and i have a 2005 roadster, 1600 miles. How do i find out what tranny code i have? if you think it would help pindown the problem, i can forward this to my service guy at the dealer and maybe he'll tell me what he thinks...? I did get a response to my thread last week that rumor thinks its related to cold engine, which doesnt bode well for me as i'm in alaska. unfortunately all i can get is generalities, when i'm really looking for supporting facts, like what dealer did someone take it to & when, so mine can follow up and compare notes. ~jp

 

Well --I have been following it --although I do not have the prob--I have an 03---But it doesnt make sense and is dammed dangerous and seems wide spread--- This is just a shot in the dark
Brakes will do that cuz the inner flexible line calapses and allows fluid to enter but not exit---
I do not yet know year breaks as far as which is which---Thought I would chk tomorrow. Either way ---0008s have it and 0009s dont

 

I've had both
008 stuck when i was holding the clutch in while reving to 3k (like getting ready for a launch). If i pulled away the clutch would get stuck inbetween and i would roll forward at the clutch would get stuck while im at 6K rpm. It happened 3 times, in both hot and cold weather.

009, no problems doing that in hot weather. Ill find out about cold weather though. Much better transmission, even better feeling clutch if they did something to it. It doesn't get stuck anymore.

 

008 had the orifice --009 didnt---And I do know this --There was a clutch change----One for the 008 and another for the 009. It appears the flywheel and the discs were different, There is a little diff installation proceedture and the 008 flywheel appears to be a flat faced conventional where as the 009 has a flat raised surface. I have 2 in my shed out of an 03 and a 04 and it seems to me ---Oddly enough, that they are like the 009 raised surface, non orificed design.
Its raining out and Im too lazyto go out there now and look which they are. Will in the morn.

 

What Im getting at here with out being hasty is ----If there is a stuck pedal prob, can it be fixed by going after market clutch ---ACT,JWT whatever and replacing the 2 piece hard line and orifice with a 1 piece 009 hard line that has no orifice

 

i'm forwarding this to my service manger and see what he thinks. i hate to replace warranty items to after market so soon, but if it sticks again i'm definitely considering it. Relieved to see someone else thinks its dangerous. in all the other threads and general www blogs, everyone talks about how inconvenient, performance, cost to repair etc., but i seem to be the only one that was connecting it to pulling out in traffic to match speed, or passing someone and trying to get out of the way of oncomming traffic, when it could stick and i'd be without power or control. Scared the crap outta me with the possibilities last week, because i drive the edge by knowing what my car will do and the minimum room i need to make the move. I'll post whateve i find. they did wait the 90 minutes on hold with nissan america to get a logging number because they took it as serious as i did, can appreciate that, unfortunately they couldn't make it repeat the failure go figure

 

whoa this is kinda scary to read, I have a 06 and have not had any problems with the clutch sticking in cold/hot weather and shes running about 6000 miles. I do however recall this problem on my previous VQ (MAXIMA '99)
It seems that there was a problem with the hydrolic cable, it was leaking but never noticed it. until one day she just died lol
hope this helps errrr somewhat! haha

 

It appears that the flywheels I have are of the 009, non orifice design and they came out of an 03 and 04.
Those with pedal sticking problems---are u later models or earlier?

 

I have an 06 with 3200 miles and my clutch stuck for the first time yesterday. I was doing a 2500 launch on a backroad and the pedal stuck 80% of the way and burnt the **** out of my clutch. I thought maybe it got stuck on the rubber mats until i tried another launch tonight.. this time 3000 launch and it stuck again! WTF?

I pulled over and did two more launches (2000 and 3000) and no problems. I'm lost...

 

The point to this thread is to get people maybe "unlost" I have heard all the "possible" reasons and none have made sense to me and I KNOW clutchs.
I dont want to get too far of the subject of the inline orifice and what yrs it was used and wheather there is a corelation. ----
What I want to know is---what yr was the 008 ( orificed line ) introduced and maybe discontinued and is there a relation ship between those yr cars with sticking Pedals

 

I have an 2005 Z and I think I have this problem. I've being experiencing this symptom, when I shift gears and let go the clutch pedal it sometimes stays down and takes a few seconds to come back up. My car has lost a lot of performance and I wonder if this is the reason why, maybe cause my clutch is out.

 

Ok --we have 3) 05s and an 06 that have had the prob so far, If u hav had the prob, add to the list ----Yr and mods if any to stock F/W ,, Clutch,, Hyd lines

no Mods here. hmmm very interesting, all listed still appear under warranty... did the rest of you report this to your dealer? I suspect at least one of you did, but did they then forward it to nissan america? NA is telling my dealer here in AK that they have no other reporting of this problem, which i found very hard to believe after all the posts on here and other blogs

E***zy, do you know what the Nissan Tech forum is about[like a direct line to NA?], is it worth forwarding there for further tracking?

I like the theory of tracking to specific year, but i've found google search blogs that refer to same problem on 2003/4 as well...

 

Mine has stuck ever since I got this new transmission. I could have sworn its the 009 build too.

found another stick and burn on '06 with 1700 miles on the www.nicoclub.com site 'hunchback', tried to report it to his dealer in KS, but they acted like he was crazy. I sent him a post asking him to register here and add his stats to the thread...

 

As I said --I have not encountered the prob in my 03 but I was talking to a friend the other day that claims he has,in his 04. I was just trying for a common denominator that might narrow down the culprit. I have yet to get an answer to when the inline orifice came into being and weather it is still used.
As far as NA not having any reports, thats crazy because there seems to be a lot og guys that are complaining about it, that was what got my curiousity going.

 

What complicates things is that the 008 is the one with the orifice but the clutch line and the tranny are 2 different things. A 009 tranny can go in to the car without changing to 008 line.

 

EXACTLY! When they replaced my transmission, they put the old clutch/flywheel back in, which means they probably used all the same parts for it. This issue really pisses me off. It makes me feel like I'm driving a civic.
