Why Nissan did things this way is beyond me, but the present set up doesn't bother me. It seems to me that the resting position of the pedal could start off closer to the floor with the bottom stop remaining where it is. This would eliminate some of that free travel and maybe make shifting more comfortable. That is, the extended leg could easily hold the pedal all the way down, but not have to lift as high to start engaging the clutch. To me it would then be more predictable just exactly where the clutch would begin to engage.
the high clutch is a 'racelike' feel because you are in a 'race car'

btw the Nissan sales MANAGER should have his screws on and details of every car. his front line salesman not as much. but as a manager you should atleast be able to read the spec sheet off each car in the show room. maybe 12?

when I was buying my Z the sales manager was a dink at a Nissan dealership. I got a used one at an acura dealership. he knew more about the fkin car than the Nissan guy.
