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....

 

I never heard of this problem with the older Zs.

 

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

 

how long did it take??? and did you experience the same thing???

 

Hmmm, i remember reading the thread with Forged Performance dissecting a '07 Z. They deleted the shift fork and just stuck the entire slave cylinder inside the bellhousing. I guess they didn't get it right when they changed it over?

 

yea i read that too

and this is like the 3rd thread i read about similar 07 clutch problems


just hit 3300 tonight, waiting to see if itll happen...

been drivin it rough on and off, i think im gona drive it hard more often now and see if i can produce a clutch problem..

 

I kept my car while they were getting parts. I took the car back in late yesterday.. It will be done tomorrow. I won't get it till Sat. though because I'm going to Seattle on business.

 

that's the consensus so far.

 

mine never did it until I let it set overnight.. after I drove it a few miles.. it would be okay again till it sat for a while.

 

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.

 

sucks

 

my clutch is fine, 07 in fact.

 

This is like the 3rd time ive seen members with 07's experience clutch problems...hmmm...as long as the dealership replaces it then it should be all good.

 

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?

 

i haven't had any problems with my clutch at all, the only problem i have is a terrible grind into 6th gear, so i'm getting a new tranny under warranty

 

wow, i have the same problem with my 06. the clutch pedal goes down, but won't come up all the way. I have to use my foot if i want it to come back up fully.

 

where can i find this?

 

Hey John, did you get your car back today??? When you took it up there to Carriage, did they try to get out of fixing it??? I haven't had that problem yet, but it would be nice to know that they realize there is a definite problem..Oh, I'll give you a call this coming up Monday...Been really busy

 

No.. give me a call and I'll explain (wasn't their fault). If it happens to you let me know.. I've developed a good relationship with some people there. I'm actually leaving for the airport right now, I have to fly to Seattle .. getting back late tomorrow night. I'm picking the car up Sat. morning.

John

although I've seen several threads mentioning it, this is the most complete. I've also seen people having Z's from previous years mention it.. which I find really interesting.
