My tranny on my 03 touring started to wind and clunk. I Took it to Rosenthal nissan in tysons and they said i needed a new tranny.
The tranny was replaced with the new CD009 version but they mated it back up with my original cluthch assembly saying it was fine with 30,000 miles on it and didnt need a new one WTF!
. I come to find out from Browns in Sterling that a new clutch disk was also called for under warranty. I took it back and was like what the ****!,
they apologized and said that they missed the note that called for the friction disc. They replaced the disc, pressure plate Due to some hot spoting, and the drive shaft (vibration). Got the car back and all the original problems were still there if not worse!
I took it back again and went on a test drive with the owner, they agreed to do another tranny with a whole new clutch assembly.
I got the car back and everything seemed fine until i noticed a strange clicking grinding sound when puting the clutch all the way to the floor. I took it back and the owner/boss said he couldnt hear anything when his master tech said he could here something strange. They said they had to wait for the nissan engineer to come out to take a look and advise them. 1400 mile later and the sound is more apparent i have a test drive with the SOB and he aknowledges the problem stating that the clutch peddal is to high and need to be adjusted, The rod connecting to the master cylyder is being alowed to much movement causing it to be pushed in more than it needs to and causing the teeth to make a noise. I thought doing that clutch adjustment was bad for your clutch? Im tired of being bojangled i just want my baby back in perfect working condition!

yea.. the ppl over at rossenthal nissan/mazda are a pain when it comes to repairs and warrenties.. you have to do your homework before you to go them and you've gotta school them before they'll do anything! but if you work with bill or tony.. they are good guys and should be able to get it done! good luck on getting your baby back!
