I hated the Z clutch in the beginning.

Now I love it. I wish I could raise my Jeep's to match it.

The Z clutch is pretty bad. Ability to drive it or not, it's got 3 puck engagement for a factory clutch.

I've gotten used to the two different car clutches.... The '03's firmness and the '08's nothingness. But, the '08 works great where it counts, on fast runs requiring lots of gear changes w/wo H&T shifting. For that reason, I've postponed it's replacement. Not like the hardware's going to get stale sitting in my garage. Laff....

But ya wanna know what grinds MY gears about the Z33? The water dripping into the car from off the windshield when it rains or I use the washers. Fehhhhhhhhhh..... I keep an old MF rag in the car for just such!

I got a good one


The fact that spark plug valve cover gaskets are not replaceable and a $3 gasket and plug job turns into $420 plus the plugs. Smh

Well, I'm one of those drivers who always drives with windows open or at least a couple inches for a number of reasons.... I like cold, fresh air AND so that I can hear what's going on both with my car and what's happening around me... sirens and the like. So no getting around the water-in-the-side-window syndrome.

Sunroofs.... not a sunroof person. Have one in one car, never use it. If I want full fresh air motoring, the top comes off. Oh, on the car too.

Everyone here is bitching about the clutch, and missing the most obvious and serious design flaw in the whole car. The cup-holders SUCK!!!!!

One in front that can't even hold Miss Mary's teacup without sagging, and two more placed in exactly the right place for me to knock any drinks in them into the rear of the car the first time I shift from 1st to 2nd gear.

This things still a great shape.. Im glad the little twerp only had it for a short time before he wrecked it.


But other than that the weight kind of blows, and the fact I cant get a single hack under the dam thing. Still not fure if that last one is a pro or con tho #ThatStockLowLife
