F. Annoying clutch!!!!
I have this annoying clutch issue when I'm shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. after reading some 370z owners complaining about the same clutch issue, I am convinced that this is a standard issue for this vehicle. I had enough with this clunky @ss clutch. Before taking it to the Dirito Bros for an inspection, I would like some advice from the well-informed 370z owners because I want to ask right questions to these clowns at the dealerships. Thank you in advance.

yeah man, the shift from 1st to 2nd is the 'notchiest'. I also get a kind of 'click' when shifting to 3rd sometimes (ppl said I was "forcing" it?). It's common, our transmission is just clunky like that... night and day when compared to Audi S4...

If you guys think the 370Z trans is bad, try driving a vintage manual trans sports car!
A notchy shift from 1st to 2nd is totally normally. As long as it's not grinding, and the clutch is adjusted properly, you're fine. If possible, drive another low mileage Z to compare.

Hey, I'm a "kid"! I'm only 22, but I've driven cars of all ages. I always laugh when I hear people saying RHD cars are awkward because of the shifting.... Try a Ford Model T :O
