Default Clutch stuck in halfway if I launch at 3k rpm = clutch worn out?

My car has this problem, and I have seen other ppl's post saying they are having the same problem. But it seems they got their clutch and transmission replaced..

Today I brought my car to Family Nissan (Rancho Santa Margarita), they say my clutch is worn out and they charge me $1700 for new nismo clutch.

Is it really the case?? Or it is the transmission problem??

Thanks.

are you still under warranty? I wouldn't pay a dime if that's the case.

I've had mine stick after a bad shift(****ed up a shift and burned the hell out of the clutch). Came up after a few seconds and was back to normal after it cooled down(and stopped smelling like a$$). haha, how many miles are on your car?

Similar to you, it got stucked for a few second, and come back up.. but it happened the 1st and 2nd gear in a row. But after that time, it didnt happen again under normal driving.

My car has 32xxx mile only.

I say I want to take back my car, and i will decide to change the clutch or not later. And she told that me now it might be dangerous because my clutch was worn out quite a lot.

I dont know should I change my clutch or not..

Or should I go to Performance nissan and have they checked for me one more time??
