I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE CLUTCH WASN'T "FEELING NORMAL." AS I SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR, THE CLUTCH PEDAL STUCK TO THE FLOOR AND WOULDN'T SPRING BACK. I TRIED PUMPING ON IT, THEN MANAGED TO GET MY FOOT UNDERNEATH IT TO PULL IT UP AND THEN DOWN SHIFT. WHEN I DEPRESSED THE CLUTCH AGAIN AND ATTEMPTED TO SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR, THE CLUTCH STUCK AGAIN AND I WAS STUCK IN 3RD. I FINALLY EASED ON THE BRAKES AND HAD TO INTENTIONALLY STALL MY CAR.

AFTER 60K MILES, THE CAR HAS DIFFICULTY SHIFTING IN REVERSE. ONCE IN REVERSE, THE CAR DOESN'T ROLL BACK AND IT REMAINS IDLE AS IF LEFT IN PARK. A FOREIGN TRANSMISSION REPAIR SHOP OWNER SAID THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT USER ERROR, AND THAT NISSAN/INFINITI HAVE NOT BEEN HAVING ONGOING TRANS ISSUES WITH MANY OF THEIR MODELS, BUT REFUSE TO CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY FOR MOST. NISSAN/INFINITI USA WILL EASILY GOAD CUSTOMERS INTO PAYING $8K TO INSTALL A NEW TRANS, HOWEVER.
