Help with dealer repair dispute on Clutch shudder

fisherg · 07-20-2010, 09:04 AM

I have been having a running dispute with my dealer on the clutch action on my 370Z roadster. I complained a few months ago and the dealer insisted it was normal. I am getting drivetrain shudder when I start off in 1st. I have to slip the clutch above 1500 rpm to hide it and sometimes that does not even help. Now the dealer is insisting that they cannot feel anything and don't want to do anythiing to the car. Over the weekend I test drove 3 other 370z's with 8-10k miles on them and they were all very smooth with no shudder and felt very different. I know all the Z manual transmissions make chattering noises but you should not feel any shaking in the drivetrain. The car is in the dealer now and I getting pretty frustrated with all of this. What does everyone else think?
