Re: Burning clutch smell/transmission whine/click *UPDATE*

I had the transfer case replaced and the drive train fluids replaced and that did not solve the problem. Now the dealer is trying to tell me that the car is making those noises because it is being driven too aggressively. Any ideas? They say that there is a suzuki rep that comes around weekly or som...

Re: Burning clutch smell/transmission whine/click

Could the rear diff. fluid not being changed have something to do with the odor? I was never told it had to be changed at 7500. Ill mention when I go back. Also, are you saying that the smell isn't coming from the awd clutch because it's located at the rear of the car?

Re: Brake service

Is it possible that after only 20k miles I need to replace the rear brakes? The guy tried to tell me the rear pads come with less padding than the fronts. Don't know if that's really the case but I don't drive very aggressively so to have to change them already is annoying. ESP when I was quoted aro...

Re: Burning clutch smell/transmission whine/click

Just got back from the dealer. The clicking is coming from the transfer case. As far as the whine he couldn't say if it was related to the transfer case or not. And of course the smell wasn't very strong when I was there so they had no information on that. It's probably nothing but my paranoia. Will...

Burning clutch smell/transmission whine/click

Hello all, Recently I have noticed a burning clutch-like smell coming from the engine after driving short or long distances. I usually don't drive the car aggressively but whether I do or not the smell is still there. Also I have noticed a whine coming from the engine upon harder than normal acceler...

Re: New owner... a few issues

Does the Kizashi have a problem with its wheel alignment? I have not heard anything about it before and now I just read about it in 2 different forums. Does anybody have more information?

Kizashi Convertible

So about a month ago I had a dream that my Kizashi was a convertible and since then I have been obsessed with that idea! I jumped for joy a bit when I came across these pics on a blog. The pics are based on an Eos but it definitely works for the Kizzy! I kinda wish I could un-see these pics though b...

Re: Got a surprise "salute" from another Kizashi driver!

Kizashi's are so rare around me I have thought of doing the same thing when I see one on the road! Growing up my family owned a Corvette and the camaraderie between owners was always intriguing because something as simple as a car created a bond between two strangers! As I got into motorcycles I not...

Re: Quick poll - CVT or manual Kizashi?

I drive the CVT. For the longest time I wanted a car with AWD but manual as well. That basically left me with the Impreza, because of my budget, and because the SX4's were never appealing to me. Needless to say, the Impreza did not impress me much. The interior felt cheap, looked plain, and the radi...
