I am aware of the slow load time of the forums. I am working in the background to resolve the issue.. I truly apologize for the issue and any other inconvenience this has caused/is causing.
Thank you for your patience. I will keep you updated.
Yes, it's inherent in the design of the dual mass flywheel, it's just noisy, bad design on Nissan's part. I had it at several dealers, and all determined it was normal. :-( not sure if an aftermarket clutch/flywheel assembly will take care of it or not. It was annoying, one of the reasons that led me to sell the car. oh did I mention the over-heating after spirited driving for 15min :-)
