It just kinda feels like the Tranny/ and or clutch is shaking while the clutch engages but only occational upon a stop and go. Any advise?
Im just pissed cause I know when Im going to go to the dealership it probably wont repeat the problem and they wont look at it.

Hey guys, im posting from my cousins account right now, he got into a serious accident, totaled the Z and broke his 2nd and 4th vertebrates in his neck. He and I think this happened because of this clutch issue, if you guys have any information about similar incidents like this due to the issue or if you know a lawyer that specializes in car manufacturer lawsuits please let me know. And be careful driving your rides. Thanks.

are you serious!? If thats the case you guys could have a major lawsuit on your hands if you can link the accident to the clutch problem. A few people already voiced their concerns for this as a safety issue and this pretty much confirms it! Hope everything works out with your cousin man... Keep us posted!

Keep us posted!Thanks bro I appreciate it, basically hes temporally paralyzed right now, but little by little hes making progress, the doc said he'll be able to walk again it'll just take some time.
Yeah this can defiantly be a big lawsuit the only problem is that its a hard thing to prove, but if anybody wants to join up and get in on the lawsuit you are welcome. This is kind of just thinking out loud for now but we'll see what happens.
I'll definatly keep you guys posted.

OMG!!! Please tell your cousin we are all praying for his complete recovery!!!
I knew something like this was going to happen to some unfortunate soul eventually!!! Please make sure that your attorney (or your cousin) contacts the media... The best thing he can do (beside rest and get better) is to alert everyone that Nissan has been negligent in their recall for this issue!!!
Also contact the California Attorney General... Several years ago NJ's Attorney General brought suit against Nissan for negligence regarding their HID headlight assembly and their ease to steal on the Maxima, and the attention forced Nissan to perform a recall to fix the inadequate assembly!!!
Please keep us updated on your cousin's recovery!!

Ya its really ****in unsafe, I used to have an A4 and the clutch would always drop on it also so I can def see how this can cause on accident, esp with all the tq of the Z.
But ya im going to talk to some Attorneys and see if he has a case. Thanks for the support.

Wow! That really sucks. I hope he'll have a fast and full recovery. Although I got my clutch issue early on and fixed it right away, I'm still very skeptical when it comes to my clutch. I bet you could make a class action lawsuit out of this incident. Please keep us posted on your cousin's recovery.

Thanks for all your support guys, I def appreciate it and so does my cousin. As far as updates, he is slowly regaining control of his body, he can move his left leg significantly better than he could a week ago and his arms are moving well now also, he got his rotation back in his wrists recently as well. However his right leg and his hands/fingers aren't moving yet, but I think its just a matter of time until the start. He is being transfered from the hospital to a really good rehab center in a few days and I think thats when we'll start seeing some quicker progress.
Again thanks for all your support. Ill keep you guys posted.

i dropped off my car at my dealer today for the clutch problem and a rattle i was getting. they seemed very eager to help and even offered to put me in a rental. they dont seem to fit the normal "stealership" quota. hopefully im not speaking too soon.

Damn I'm sorry to hear about your cousin, my prayers go out to go guys for a speedy recovery. This clutch issue needs to be resolved at a higher level, it was fixed for me because I didn't stop complaining, should get to that point!
