Once you understand and get used to it there is no problem at all.
I agree the throwout bearing sure leaves alot to be desired.Very noisy brand new??We can only hope it doesn't get any louder as time goes on.
On any other american auto a throwout bearing that makes that much noise in neutral with the pedal fully released needs replacing.Thats usually after about 60 to 70 thousand miles!This is a new Nissan design so time will tell.
