New Owner 370Z 2017

Acid-Blade · 08-17-2016, 11:21 AM

Hello!!

I bought a 370Z last week w/ 6spd m/t.

Just had a question and it could possibly be me doing it wrong as i have not driven a manual in some years.

While in 1st. Coming to a stop/slowing down, when pressing the clutch to go to Neutral, I notice a sound as if something has just dropped.

I suspect the sound is the exhaust..... is this normal?

Are you talking about a clunk when you clutch in? Normal.

Its normal, when youre at lke 5 or less mph, and you press the clutch pedal its thunks and shutters almost. Mine has been doing it for 80k. I only really hear it when Im pulling into my garage.

Yes, Clunk!/Shutter noise. I couldn't find the words. This only happens when I pull in/out of the parking lot....

Thanks guys!
