Is a juddery clutch common?

Ridiculous, all of it. While this manual is not the smoothest I've driven, it is one of the most precise. "Juddery"?..... MORE rpms man!! Learn how to properly drive a manual before commenting. I know, I'll get flamed for this, but I've driven manual gearboxed cars from Audi's to the Z and everything in between. I just don't see all the complaints. Just get over it and learn how to properly drive one or go with the 7AT.

Wow!

I won't be flaming you, as I fully agree....

Yeah, I must be screwing up by not checking the speed of my synchros. Whatever guys. I've been driving manuals for 16 years and this is by far the clunkiest, roughest transmission I have owned for a manual. It still moves the car forward which is what counts.

I have driven a manual every day for 25 years now, many cars, and this one is the worst. Annoying, but I can live with it. Given time, I can probably adjust and figure out what it likes, which seems to be lots of revs. Any car has it's faults. My 9 year old Camaro SS is fantastic compared to this Nissan, better feel, much smoother. Less precision can actually be a good thing.

Yes but it's funny to see friends start questioning their manual driving skills when they try to drive the car!
