Re: Delayed Throttle Response in 2013 Kizashi

Sorry nevermind I found a proper repair manual on here :)
So throttle body is 12nm
PCV is 2,5nm
MAF is 0,9nm

Although I think I'll keep some of those on during cleaning now that I saw the positions

Re: Reverse gear crunching

I thought the complaint was grinding when trying to engage reverse with clutch fully depressed. Sorry. It now sounds like the finicky reverse engagement is due to coarse non synchronized mating and wiggling the clutch pedal is perfectly acceptable. Alright thanks for your answer :) I mean I didn't ...

Re: Delayed Throttle Response in 2013 Kizashi

I also changed my spark plugs recently and cleaned my MAF, TB, and PCV valve. My Kizashi with 104,000 miles with the manual transmission runs very well. Do you know where to find the torques for those things by any chance? I'm guessing the one for spark plugs is in the manual but I wouldn't know wh...

Re: Reverse gear crunching

Hmm the other gears go in perfectly though and reverse goes in fine if I pull the gear knob into gear and lift the clutch a little. Does this still sound like a clutch problem? Someone in another thread stated that this behavior is even normal because the Kizashi doesn't have a synchronizer ring for...

Re: Reverse gear crunching

Did anyone here fix/identify cause of the problem? Already tried bleeding clutch and changing gear oil but it didn't do the trick for me

Re: Trouble Shifting MT Into Reverse

So does anyone know what the cause was by now? I have the same issue, already did clutch bleeding and gear oil change but it didn't help. A shop I called the other day said it's probably the synchronizer ring but someone in this forum said there is no synchronizer ring for the reverse gear on this c...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

I did the clutch bleeding thing to fix the crunchy reverse gear (manual) and to be honest it didn't fix the problem. Now I found a solution tho: If I just hold the gear lever back while I start reversing it works everytime. I feel the lever kinda "twitching" once but then everything is com...

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

Thanks for the heads up :) so far I did the manual transmission oil change and clutch bleeding, I think it made things better but I still need to do some reversing after cold starts to be sure

Re: What Did You Do With Your Kizashi Today?

My car has around 100k so thanks for your suggestions! I'll definitely look into the belt tensioner. I assume spark plugs should be fine because the car got regular service and it's running very smoothly. And I'll do the cleaning as well. I should use break cleaner for that right?
