Corporate made him and me go in another 07 on the lot to reproduce the problem and the tech guy said it was kinda doin it but not as much. So maybe its on all 07's, maybe not.
Ill let you guys know what happens...

Sounds like a clutch master/slave issue and not tranny related. For them to suggest the tranny first is suspicious. I haven't changed teh clutch on mine yet, but if the slave is mounted on the input shaft like some newer car, it is likely the fluid is boiling when it gets hot. Flush the clutch fluid with some high temp brake fluid, and I bet your problems go away. Any shop should be able to do this.
Edit: I just checked the nissan fsm for the 350z, and it uses a conventional slave. I still would check it and replace the fluid, and not even bother with the dealership, or at least take it to a different one.

My clutch feels sticky even while standstill. If I let it go quick, it releases slow as if it's doing the same then in freezing temps (it's really in the 70s). My timing's erratic and rough because of it.
I'm also trying to figure out why I'm randomly grinding 2nd-5th (stuck getting in gear and grinds). I drive other MT cars without grinding (even on an M3!), and I've had my Z for almost 5 years. The first 2 years I never grinded at all unless I totally screw up and not use the clutch. Then it went downhill from there until the tranny got replaced last year, but there was no change to the clutch pedal.
I think my tranny is fine, but it's gotta be the clutch actuator or some sort that's been giving me grief for years.

The clutch pedal in my '06 gets kind of a spongy feeling when it is raining out (especially if it is cold rain) and seems to take longer to spring away from the floor, but I've never had the pedal actuall stick on the floor. I thought it happened to me in my girlfriend's Civic but it turned out that when I pressed the clutch pedal in my heel caught the edge of the floormat and pulled it forward between my foot and the pedal, so that when I took my foot off the weight of the floor mat kept the pedal pushed in. Point of the story, is that's some scary ****.

Just got back from performance Nissan for a second opinion. The tech was boggled about it too. He flushed the fluids jsut to see if it helped. It did not help. He said best bet is to let the Nissan rep tomorrow look at it and see whats goin on. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Lets not start a Panic cloud on the 07s, 1 car 1 person so far. Until I see a recall, I'm not going to worry about it, get mine in a couple weeks, so trying to be 'positive' good luck with yours, hopefully its just a rotten apple and not the whole bushel.
