370z clutch noise?
 

Just wondering whether anyone is experiencing clutch noise problem when pressing and not pressing the clutch. Especially, when I'm pressing the clutch down I can really feel it in the pedal. Dealer says its a characteristic for the Z's :rolleyes: Thanks guys for the input.

I can hear mine engage and disengage.

Normal. Actually, my G clutch sounds just like my Z. Sorry, but this has been discussed numerous times.

Yup, when the car is cold the clutch can be heard, but after warmed up it goes away.

It's your throwout bearing, it actually gets replaced everytime your clutch is replaced. They can actually get fairly loud depending on how you drive. No worries just doing its job.

I also find that there's some throw out bearing noise in my 370 when it's cold, but like it was said its gone within a few minutes.

i actually love the mechanical whining of our trannys. and yes the clutch is a bit noisey.

its a sports car.....

its your throwout bearing. thats strange though, isnt your car new? shouldnt need to be replaced yet.

^^just because you can hear something doesn't mean it's broken. I have asked other people when in the car, they never hear anything though......

I had put up a video of the noise a long time ago. Here is a long thread about it...

Pilot bearing and it should not be making the noise means the clutch assembly is out of balance. Burning that bearing.

I can feel my clutch is out of balance at idle. Taking to dealer if they say it normal. I am going to hit them with a brick!

Engine is noisy, clutch is noisy... Gotten pretty used to it... Since my ex nissan s14 is same... Should be ok.
