Only 1000 miles and have a bunch of problems!!!

First, it's about the infamous shifting problem - never got smooth from 1st - 2nd - 3rd. It always exsits some 'little' grinding problems, and some noticeable noise from bottom of the car, especially when I shift from the 1st to 2nd. (Some folks said it's becasue I'm still in the break-in period?! I don't think so though!'

Second, it's about the clutch's noise. I just figured this problem few days ago. It happens randomly when I just depress the clutch pedal down, and it kinda sounds like knocking on some metal surface 'slightly'.

Sh!t! I really have no idea why this happened to me! I bought my Z brand new, but now I feel like its a Nissan's "Refurbished" car?

350z transmission has always been noisy and clicky and notchy

iyou are freaking out for nothing, relax

Enjoy the car and stop thinking about the noises

Let us know if your clutch starts slipping @ or around 3000 -3500 rpm.

I've got a similar "knocking" issue when depressing the clutch. it almost feels like I'm rubbing a notch midway through pressing in the clutch. I'm taking it in to be checked out next monday...will let you know if they do anything. I only hope the problem is present when they check it out as it seems intermittent.

Now I see why the dealers give us a hard time when we go in with real problems.
