I had 2 350z's before my 370 but neither clutch was as annoying as the 370z. It seems to have so many different resistance pressures depending on how far down the peddle is. by this i mean as you just begin to apply pressure to the peddle it is extremely easy to move for about 1/3 of an inch, then from about 1/3 of an inch to about 1 inch it is slightly harder to press, after about 1 inch the pressure pushing back on your foot increases again. At about 1" above fully depressed it becomes slightly easier to move again. I am able to feel these points while depressing, and releasing the clutch. the differences in feedback pressure at these positions is anything but gradual, it is instant and almost clicky. I assumed this was just how the 370's were set up and it didn't really bother me until about 7k miles... on the release the border between the first 1/3" and 1" actually began to audibly "click" and its not quiet! I have looked at the mechanism of the peddle and i cant tell what is causing it. I am not a mechanic, just a fellow car freak, i was wondering if any one else knows anything about this, or has the same problem........And i don't know how the entire mechanism is supposed to be set up down there but the amount play in some of those connections surprised me.
