Yeah, Z1 sells SS clutch lines for $29.00 on their site.

Unfortunately that doesn't fix the problem if you have a defective CSC, but it is a good upgrade anyway.

I guess I should have mentioned that it is one of the solutions. It worked for me, and just trying to give my :twocents:.

It should actually just be a matter of proving it is a safety issue. And a group of people is goiing to get noticed more than one random person here and there trying to get results. It shouldn't take an injury or loss of life for them to do something.

Stopping, sure no problem there. But what about the need to accelerate and not being able to? You're a sitting duck, changing lanes or trying to accellerate and get someone off your tail.... what if that someone is much larger than you? Say an 18 wheeler and doesn't have the stopping power when your car quickly slows with no brake lights? That happened to me. It was very scary. I managed to dig my foot back and pop the pedal back up to make my car function again fast enough to get out of the way but IT SHOULD NOT BE THAT WAY.

Additionally, this problem is WAY bigger than the Z's and G's. After researching this online it appears to be any Nissan/Infiniti that has a clutch. It's their parts in general. I found it Altimas and Maximas too. This problem is HUGE and they know it. Precisely why they don't want to open that can of worms.

Either way, if enough of complain to the RIGHT sources, instead of just griping on a forum, maybe something will get done. The links I provided are the people have authority over this and if there are this many of us dealing with the same issue and we all take a little time to make a simple complaint about the problem, then Nissan/Inifiniti will have no other choice.

did you try pulling the shifter out of gear? see the thing is cars stop and they break, and they do all of that fun stuff any way so long as the brakes work and the car doesn't uncontrollably accelerate (toyota) there isn't a really problem. Remember back in driving school when you learned about following distances? they are spaced out far enough to give the guy behind you sufficient warning to be able to see you stopping or slowing down and for them to either change lanes or slow down themselves. Just because no one follows these stopping distances does not make it the auto manufactures fault, it makes the guy behind you get either a negligence, or following to close citation after he hits you. Is it right eh not going there, but it makes your case harder. I would go in and ask a lawyer if you feel you have been wronged if you even have a case before you start rallying the people into a mass lawsuit. Lawyers were invented for a reason and if you feel wronged they are the ones to ask, if a case starts to build then you open it up to a class action and people join the case to try and properly justify all who have been wronged by it. Just my opinion take it for what its worth, i'm not trying to justify Nissan not fixing the problem, just saying that they have an entire legal department and if you don't approach it properly your screwing yourself. complaining to the various governing body's and watchdog associations as well as nissan's consumer affairs is good though it lets them no your pissed, and documents the problem, unfortunately to file a case with NHTSA something has to happen first so if your clutch failed and it may have caused some form of accident go ahead and file.

This is the important part of all of this. This is a VERY widespread problem. The Z and G is more of an enthusiast vehicle. I'd wager more Z or G owners are actually members of forums. But this is a problem that is VERY well documented on the Maxima and Altima forums. My 2007 3.5SE 6MT did this twice in the 40,000 miles I owned it and never again - both times were when I was drag racing and slipped the clutch at a very high rpm. I have seen posts from Maxima and Altima owners that had this happen on a daily basis and the dealership ABSOLUTELY GAVE THEM HELL over diagnosing and fixing something that is VERY clearly a design flaw on the part of the manufacturer. You gotta think....of all the Altima and Maxima owners, what percentage of those people actually subscribe to a forum and post these problems? There's lots of people with this problem and the vehicles affected (that I've seen) are the 2002-current Altima, 2000-current Maxima, all years of the 350 and 370Z and the G counterparts.

It's a big problem and is very widespread and there are times that accelerating is necessary to avoid a collision - so safety concern....absolutely I say.

Trav - Thank you! It's nice that someone else sees that this is a massive problem and needs to remedied by the manufacturer rather than JUST complaining about it on a forum. All those things I posted to do, I did. I even wrote the CEO of Nissan/Inifniti and complained to the BBB. Enough complaints directed to the write people will get something done about this safety problem. And it honestly is a matter of a little time and small amount of effort. I basically copied and pasted my letter to everyone that needed to know, changed the "to" address and paid some postage. CEO got a certified letter. Anywho... hopefully people will listen and do the same so maybe, just maybe, they will be forced to recall this. As for the accelarating, you can't do that until you have diverted your attention from driving to getting the clutch pedal to pop back up. Until its up, gas does nothing but rev, rev, rev. This is where the danger lies. I hope they do something before someone gets hurt or dies. Seriously.

Clutch stuck
 

I was launching clutch keeps staying on the ground any ideas car has 19k miles
