Can anyone diagnose this?

an370

Hi everyone,

2014 6mt sport/touring. Owned since 2016, about 85k miles now. Original clutch (highway miles, daily driver).

Noticed a while back the car would make that rattling noise during clutch engagement only when moving from a stop. Used to be pretty infrequent, now it's becoming much more frequent. The entire car shakes, pretty violently sometimes. If I just give it more revs it does not happen. U joints seem ok, didn't notice any free play. Just seems like there is a lot of slack somewhere in the driveline and it's getting worse.

350z I owned previously had a similar issue, but it was much more mild and much less frequent, and it was just noise, no uncomfortable shaking.

No bolts are loose, all bolts (axles, driveshaft) checked with a torque wrench, everything is within spec.

Has anyone experienced this? Maybe it's normal Z stuff and I'm getting too old for it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
