That sucks man, I don't know much about the vdc on the 6mt, but I don't like it in general... I have a 5AT and I tried a 6mt 3.5 L maxima that would roast at 30ish mph... on a test drive.

I think you should check it out though, Good luck, I'm drunk, more intelligent responses to follow.

At first telcoman, I thought... then I realized you just screwed up the quote tags. That post would really have been out of character for you...

I just thought I'd quote this before you edit it, that way, the guys can come along and you a little...

I disagree. This is a common problem in some G's. There is a service bulletin on the clutch slave cylinder. Take it to the dealer and have them fix it!! Mine did it too....before replacing.

Oh, and the VDC will not affect your clutch. If you try and do a burn-out with the system engaged, it will simply cut power and apply brakes to the spinning wheels.

This is too funny!

FYI... this is the EXACT same question I had when I first bought my 05 G and decided to Google the answer... BAM... that's how I found NICO!!



Follow Joes advice!!

If you try to spin the tires with VDC on...you are going to find that you won't go very far. VDC will cut your throttle back and squeeze the brakes on the loose tires until they stop. With VDC off, you should have no problem destroying some rubber if you really want too...

Yes I did screw up the quote. I may be an old farht but it took me awhile before I figured out how to edit a quote and reply to it without the whole long quote.

It took me months before I learned how to post a photo.Then again some of the younger members don't know everything either.
