Attempted to shift and clutch pedal sank to floor and would not return, clutch did not disengage. Made it very difficult to get car out of gear, and impossible to reengage gear. Luckily was able to coast to a stop without accident. Dealer reported failed clutch line / master cylinder led to loss of fluid & inability to disengage clutch. *tr

I have been have trouble with my 2006 altima se-r since buying it at 52k miles. It's like everyone else; the clutch gets real floppy and looses pressure until it sinks to the floor and wont return. This has happened to me about 30 or 40 times since buying the car in october 2009, but i can't replicate for the dealer. They also say that they have never heard of this before, and nobody has ever complained about it to…

I have a 2006 nissan altima se-r. The clutch repeatedly looses pressure when the ambient temperature is hot combined with a heavy traffic situation. I have brought the car to the dealership several times and they say they have replaced the cylinder, but the problem persists. I did a little online investigating and it appears as though i am not the only person that owns an altima that is plagued by the safety issue.…

Manual Transmission
I have a 2006 nissan altima se-r with a 6 cylinder engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. Periodically throughout the last 30 months the clutch would fall to the floor while driving, making it difficult to shift. The solution was to catch the clutch with the driver's toe and raise it manually back into position each time prior to a shift. This is difficult, distracting, and dangerous and could easily cause an…

It was purchased new. 2006 nissan altima sl. When the transmission has disengaged i have been traveling freeway speeds and the cruise control is set causing a quick rise in the rpms-which is not good for any engine. *jb

During hot weather of after the vehicle is driven for extended times, the clutch will make a howling sound accompanied with a shuttering when released to pull off from a full stop. This event will also cause the vehicle to stall unless excessive revolutions (over 3000 rpm) are applied during release. In traffic or on a hill, this has caused the vehicle to…
