Question About The Clutch

boxienuts · 05-27-2018, 09:32 PM

I personally am not comfortable with mods under warranty. That said I have recently read all the issues with the stock nissan manual transmission. This is my 3rd 370z, I have had a 2012 black 7A and 2015 silver 7A, mainly because my wife made me because she can't drive stick, but then she only drove each of those cars once or twice so when I wanted to get a Nismo as my 3rd I went with manual. I had a mustang GT 5.0 manual back in the early 90s and it was fun to drive. Had I know about all the clutch issues with 370z when I made my purchase I would have probably re-considered. I will say the manual is more engaging, but worrying about when my next flat bed tow will be suuuuuucks.

Don't worry about it until it happens. That's the way I look at it. Wouldn't be the first time I had to call AAA.
