I just bought a used 1998 Altima, 5-speed transmission. I am very pleased with the car but I have a couple of questions and concerns
1- is-it normal that the clutch pedal is rather stiff ?
2- Shifting is stiff too, sometime it takes force to put into gear, some time it does not go easily into gear and I have to put the stick back in neutral and try more than one time.
apparently it is normal on these models, does any one else experienced the same behaviour?
P.S: I had it inspected and the mechanics said everything runs strong. I am just wondering if it is a normal behaviour for the Altima. I have read a few posts on the internet and apparently it is a problem called imprecise gearbox. I have driven many Toyotas and WV but never experienced that before.
