  1. Interesting thread.

    I would not worry about the clutch, you can buy one with a new clutch and have it fail because of defect or poor assembly or bad treatment.

    Yes to the issues above about throwout bearing, i have also seen one pressure plate fingers damaged, and that was a long time ago. Doesn't happen very often, the bearing has to seize, and then the noise would change......

    seems to me its a good deal, counter a lower price because the Timing belt replacement.

  2. I have stock 2003 Se 4WD, part time.

     

    I took this with worn stock tires, ie the stock Bridgestone HT tires, around the Alpine loop in southern Co.

     

    This had mud, snow, and rocks, but not really rock crawling. Look it up online.

     

    Went up in 4WD high, came down in 4WD low for control. Open diff's,

     

    Bashed the hitch at the back a few times, otherwise it was fine.

  3. Now you got me wanting a tow hitch.. haha.. Just called a auto wrecking yard and they said they had a 2001 Nissan QX4 with a tow hitch on it that will fit my 2003 Nissan Pathfinder.

     

    Any truth to this? he wants $75, he didn't know if it was factory or not. if it will fit, ill go take a look at it.

     

    Thoughts....

    I have a 2003 Pathy, yes the QX4 is the same.

     

    A warning.... I put a U-Haul hitch on my sons 97 in about 98 and the two front bolts were wrong pitch, we striped them !!! Since he was only pulling a small trailer we left it.

     

    Fast forward to 2004, I buy a 2003. Order a new hitch direct from he manufacturer ( ie NOT Nissan)and front bolts are still wrong pitch.

     

    Check your bolts for front mounting holes before you damage something !!!
