07' Parts Already Being Replaced!!
I got an 07' with a little of 3k miles, and my Z is at the dealership getting it clutch master cylinder replaced.... Are you kidding me, only 3k miles on it... and the part is on back order because apparently alot of 07's been having this problem, they dont even know when ill get my car back.... The problem started with the clutch pedal not coming all the way up, i had to put my foot under the pedal to get it to come back up. And then it went to having to pop the car out of gears, pumping the clutch and having to throw it in gear if i could even get it in.... wow not happy.... and said to say, i used to on a 2000 honda civic si and never had any problems this close and it had 75k on it... im a lil dissappointed.... but i wouldnt trade my Z for anything....

they'll end up replacing the whole clutch assembly.. my parts are being put in now.. they SUSPECT contamination.. perhaps a bad batch of fluid? who knows? There's a thread in the 350z section about this.. we're not the only ones

Same exact thign happened to me. Got it all replaced liek last week. I thinkj I was the first to have the replacement parts.
Think it will happen again though again since they did not redesign the parts.

This is about the 5th 07 owner I've seen have this problem on these very forums. I hope nissian gets the kinks worked out before I get my 07 in about 5 months. Everyone that has them replaced on there 07's, how is the new one feeling?
