That can't be interpreted as most Z's ever produced have a shudder from the clutch. The clunk is most likely inherent but clutch shudder is either signs of overheating, worn parts, misalignment or whatever e.g. lack of experience or improper engagement of the clutch. My vette now has a shudder because I just installed a Center Force DFX ceramic pad clutch. CF even advises its customers that the shudder is possible after install so it was no surprise to me. I can eliminate it if I release the clutch at higher revs. Some have already stated this for the Z. Maybe folks aren't releasing their clutches at a high enough rpm? Yes, they are out there and then come here and complain. But that doesn't mean all or most Z's have a clutch problem as some would surmise.
