Default Please Help.. Got A Few Problems!!

well first of all id just like to say that this car is my baby lol...but anyways lets get to the points.... ok first when i go in reverse and press the gass and go back there is a clicking noise im guessing coming from the rear... also this happens a few times when i take off...my car has about 12,700 miles on it and im getting a notchy 2nd gear .. when i go real slow its hard to shift to 1st also< somtimes... after driving the car i put it in neutral and let the clutch out and it sometimes makes a pounding rattle and i cant stand it ... sometimes at idle it sounds bad to.... i know this has been issued but any updated advice?!?

take it to the dealership and have him look at your rear axle. I am going to Bay Ridge nissan for the same problem. This is the second time i have had this problem. I had this problem at about 4,000 miles and now i got it again at 9,000 miles. i will let you know how it turns out. I think they just have to tighten something

As far as the clicking goes, I'm sure its your rear axle. There have been other posts on this in this repair section. As far as the notchy shifting and problems with tranny, it seems you might have the dreaded tranny issue. Since car is still under warranty and problem persists or gets worse, go take it in and have the tranny replaced.

That is cool, but why wait. Its more than likely the axle nut. Everyone just gets it re-torqued and it fixes the problem. I actually tightened it myself and the creaking is gone. And yes it is the same creak. It makes the noise in the first couple gears and always when you take the clutch out.
