Clutch tingle?
 

Yep that may be a new term lol...anyways my clutch when fully depressed and at idle I feel a slight tingle in my foot....like there is something tapping the other side of the pedal (there isn't I know)

This probably isn't an issue or problem I'm just curious what it is. After continued driving it tends to stop. I never experienced this in my 350z, just wandering what it is in the 370.

Anyone?

I get the same thing once in while. Don't know what it is.

yep, almost like a slight thud on your foot, I asked this about a month ago, apparently its normal. I believe Shabarivas is quoted as saying "Its just a nissan clutch".

Nissan's improvement of their clutches/MTs is long overdue.

Throw-out bearing?

I get that too. It's like a very faint vibration/pulsation when pushing the pedal. I agree it's very sporadic and tends to go away after driving for a while. I thought something was wrong with the clutch/flywheel or the transmission is not lined up properly with the engine.

The throw out bearing is loud at idle (clutch depressed) and when shifting from 1st to 2nd. I've heard it pretty much from day 1, but I know what it is, and know that it's not uncommon in most cars. Damned Nissan.... good trannys, not so much with the clutch (or viscous :P)

This is without a doubt the loudest new throwout bearing I ever heard.By the way in order for a throwout bearing to make as much noise as this it usually needed to be replaced.Normally this loud means a faulty throwout bearing.My first nissan but they definetly dropped the ball on this setup.
It is the norm for this car so we have to live with it.I hate to hear what it will sound like with maybe 50..60,000 miles on it.
Did previous 350 Z cars make the same throwout bearing noise?

you should hear the throw out bearing on the mx5, some owners have reported on the mx5 forums that it sounds like a diesel sometimes. all up this is no problem, i have had my mx5 now for 42,000 km with no issues.

Makes me wonder if the Z's lack of sound deadening materials has anything to do with the loudness factor, even regarding a noisy throwout bearing :rolleyes:. It certainly has to do with the tire noise I experienced on my test drive over some sections of highway. Totally depended on the road surface.

Like most car owners, when I initially heard the sound I rolled the windows down to hear it better. No deadening material involved at all. I don't really like to think about the people I drive by either on the sidewalk, in a parking lot, or driving with their windows down hearing my clutch that loudly. Like I said though, no mechanical issue, then oh well. The occasional rattle from it when pushing in the clutch pedal in 1st is more annoying than the idle noise.

I have the same tingling. Thought I was developing left foot problem. Never felt it in my 06 MT.

You've got the gout! :roflpuke2:

Sometimes I feel one slight "echo" tap after I depress the clutch (starting out and shifting to 2nd), but never constant tapping.

Clutch - It just sounds like the thrust bearing for sure. My clutch rattles a bit but it's totally normal. Wait to you drive a twin plate clutch then you'll know about noises and rattles. :)

Brakes - Now this is weird. I can feel a pulsation through the brake pedal when stationary like the ABS or VDC is not sure what it's doing. It's only a slight solenoid type pulse but it's there. Weird. Think I'll report it.

This also is happening in my car, just like you describe. With the clutch fully depressed at idle I feel a light pulsing through my leg from the pedal.

I just got my oil changed today at the dealership. I asked for ester oil, which I have been using since I got the car in January. They accidentally put conventional oil in it, and I had them change it back to ester oil . After they finally finished, I got in the car and had this exact problem. I doubt that this was a result of the oil change, but I sure don't remember feeling it before. It seems to happen each time I start the car, but go away after I rev the engine up. I agree that it probably isn't serious, but it is annoying.

my g35 2007 sedan sport ..did the same thing..roll down the window and listen for the sound of the clutch when the clutch is not pressed down..sounds like tin cans..lol..its normal.

I have it too, this clutch assembly really sucks, It's loud, pulsates, grabby, and clunks and rattles when you push it in. I've owned 10 other MT cars, most less expensive and never experienced this. :mad: I sure hope someone comes out with some aftermarket parts to fix these issues.

Old thread, but just wanted to echo that I have the same issue. Noisy when in neutral, clutch out, and idling. Also clunky when in first and depressing the clutch to coast in neutral (parking in a tight spot, etc).
