Fixed by Nissan two months ago.

Now it happens even more frequent.

Anyone else notice this?

Same here on my 07, They replaced the 'assist' cylinder and it works much better(smoother) now, see my dedicated thread for details. All those with clunky 07 trannies and clutches should take it in before they get stranded!

Another 2007 with a clutch issue. 4600 miles. In the morning it feels like the clutch has lost pressure and dosent work untill its about 75% down. It gets better after a few miles. Just dropped it off at the dealer tonight, lets see what ******** they try and pull



edit 10/10/07: "Its normal...." yeah right. Im going to take it to another dealer when i get a chance. Ill just have to deal with looking like i have no idea what im doing since i never know where the ever-changing friction point is going to be.

took my 07 to the dealership, waiting for parts to be ordered, they told me it was still drivable so on my way home clutch loses pressure... luckily i have my bumper to bumper insurance gonna have it towed to dealership in the morning, i noticed a puddle of fluid leaking as the car gets towed onto the bed WTF??? hopefully thats the least of my problems arghhh only 4100 miles on it.

ive had mine for 3days, no issues, Ive even tried the "over 20mph" first gear thing and while it was alittle harder to get it in, there was no noise at all. It was warmed up however.

Ive only had it happen to me once when making 3 passes at the track. The clutch just gave up when shifting into second.
