I agree. My dealer has been great, sales, service, and parts. Modern Nissan at Lake Norman (NC).

Let us know what the clutch feels like after the fix.

yep got my letter today too. NNA seems to be on the ball. I guess it only took a few hundred complaints.

It says on there light pedal pressure too. I wonder if that is just right before its gonna drop? Or if its the normal everyday light pressure? I think the clutch feel blows all in all.

I guess Ill wait a few weeks to see what people think

Got the car back. The clutch to me feels a bit stronger. It wants to grab faster than it did before. Also seems a bit easier to shift smoother. Car was put together as far as I can tell perfectly. So I am happy! It will get a good test at autox on Sunday.

Driving impression: Nothing noticeable except the clutch feels a little stiffer (kind of like when I first bought the car a few months ago). The tech said he replaced the slave cylinder and poured some brand new fluid in there.

When I took it out for a drive, I noticed that my 4th-5th gear shift was kind of notchy. However, I just drove it like 15 minutes ago and it seemed to be running perfectly.

We'll see how this will hold up at the track.
I've had mine back. And the clutch feels a little stiffer. That's it, everything else is the same.

Sorry Im not super knowledgable with the mechanics of a car but could the issue with the slave cylinder be causing the gear grinding when shifting gears? I did receive the flyer and my VIN is within the range so I will be calling around tomorrow.

Yep, got my letter today too. Mine hasn't had a problem yet, so I'm not in a hurry to take it to the stealership.

Got my letter today and it was the first I've heard of this issue. I'll probably take it in soon. Having the clutch pedal stick on the floor doesn't sound like too much fun.

Not really, that sounds like synchros. get the tech to drive the car and ride along with him and see what the issue is.
