i wonder if mine is leaking of if its just the clutch fluid, cause it only happened to me when i was at the track or when i was trying excessivly (read burn clutch) to reproduce it on the street.

but anyway, when i said that it addresses the pedal issue, i didn't mean it was the one and only reason, just suggesting that it could be a possibility for some people

gonna check my clutch fluid when i get home from work today

So far my new clutch is holding up OK after Nissan's fix. Only had it drop to the floor once, and this was with only 300 miles on the clutch (by 3rd gear it went to the floor). I'd accidentally ridden the clutch too long (didn't notice my foot was still touching the pedal, n00b mistake). So far no clutch drops since then, clamps friggin hard between high rpm shifts.

I know, that's why I plan on spending $50 to buy 3 bottles of this: http://www.forgedperformance.com/store/home.php?cat=282

After using Motul's LSD fluid in my Nismo diff and hearing the diff go from popping and crackling to absolutely silent, I'm sold on their products.
