Consumer states burning type smell from engine or clutch area and vehicle lacks power. Dealer removed transmission and found clutch disc worn out. Clutch assy. Replaced, consumer has had to have the clutch replaced for the the third time because bushing that holds the clutch between the flywheel and the transmission which was installed was not the right part for the model of the transmission in consumers vehicle, but was installed anyway, because of inproper fitting it caused the clutch to wear prematurely and has caused some damage to the transmission.
The clutch assembly emits an intermittent groaning sound when the clutch is engaged in 1st and reverse gears. I have visited two Nissan dealerships over 14 times and had the clutch assembly replaced twice and they cannot resolve the problem. Fenco parts (www.fencoparts.com/bulletin_9924.htm) has issued a tsb about possible transmission failure due to this problem. Nissan has refused to acknowledge any problem.
