Trying to diagnose a problem without being there first hand is a little on the difficult side. However, I can give a few generalities.
1) If the car is running and the clutch is out in neutral, then you try to shift into first. You may have a synch issue. I see this more with motorcycles, but it's possible with a car.
2) Notchy shifting will get better with time, as the car breaks in. It's just part of it's character.
3) If the car moves forward on a flat surface with the clutch pushed all the way in, it needs to be adjusted. This can also cause the issue in #1.
4) I have noticed that the clutch spring is not even throughout the throw. I do find if I heel and toe the clutch it works much better.
The clutch on the Z does take some getting use too. The only real complaint I have is it sounds like the motor mounts or transmission is loose sometimes as it pops, both on acceleration and deceleration sometimes, again depends upon how smooth one is.
