After getting my clutch swapped by some shady mechanic (I wanted to go to Nissan but my dad insisted his friend had the upmost expertise in clutches so i gave in) my car had the ability to shift out of any hear into neutral without ending the clutch. So as an example, I can be driving in 3rd, gas it a little and then be able to pull the shifter from 3rd to neutral withou any problem. Any ideas? I think it's not engaging correctly. What are your guys thoughts? Thanks!

Maybe I'm confused - you're saying that you can take the car out of gear without pressing the clutch? Pretty much every MT car I've owned will let you do that.

Really? I thought it was a bad thing. Because, I could have the car in 3rd gear at 5000 rpm and just pull it out to neutral without touching the clutch. That's normal?

Either it's normal, or I've owned a bunch of broken cars.

Same as with Chuck33079, every manual transmission I've owned/driven over the last 45 years or so would do that - especially under low/no load.
But I haven't driven a MT 370Z, so maybe Nissan did something "weird."

If OP's Z really has a problem, then I've got it too.

However, I would caution, you shouldn't need anything more than a very light touch to achieve this. If you have to yank it to get out of gear/into neutral, you are not at the right timing and shouldn't try.

How do you think folks can shift without mashing in on the clutch. It is not recommended on a tranny with synchros's though due to damage to the synchros that can be caused.

Yeah, you're good.
I'm now waiting for your CSC to go bad though...
