I am relieved I'm not the only one thats for sure and that it dates back to 350's. I'm about to service the trans with Redline MT85, I heard good results with cold shifts and overall better shifting smoothness. Im gonna service the diff while I'm at it too. I don't expect it to do anything for the clutch noise though just seems to be normal for design. I work at BMW and one of the techs said the older M cars were the same way too just noisy. So until the clutch fails it doesn't bother me any.
I'm gonna wait for the clutch&flywheel upgrade till about 15/20K miles. But it is a good idea to upgrade the fluid regardless. Why listen to something like that if you don't have to...

Same noise here. Very loud next to buildings or drive through take out.
I have noticed if you apply brake before pressing cluch is doesnt do it,
Hope this helps.

I was just filling out a "quality survey" for nissan when i thought about this noise. Glad i searched the threads first. Glad to know it is normal. I was getting ready to bring the car in and complain lol. I have not but 2000 miles on my '14 and i'd hate to have to send her off to the shop. she is so young.

What is this "Porch" oil you speak of?
