2007 Z Owners with/without Clutch Issue
Being that there are several threads regarding the clutch sticking issue on the 2007 Z, I was wondering who is or isnt having an issue with it.

just watch out if you have an 07. i have an 07 and nissan is claming that there was a air pocket in in my clutch line. if you have an 07 you should bleed your system just to be safe.

Can you elaborate on how you accomplished this task? My 07 should have been hear Monday and now they are saying FRI, but anyway I definitely want to do this just to be safe.

Noob question: how do you flush/bleed clutch fluid?

I have an 06 with a clutch-sticking problem. Nissan replaced my clutch, flywheel, and some hydraulic line? (ionos im a n00b) under warranty. It started sticking around 12,400 miles when I drove hard.

Is the clutch sticking problem manifested as a non-linear feel as it engages? Mine is smooth until it is almost fully engaged,then it seems to have a little catch that makes starting out jerky unless I blip the throttle a couple times before letting it out.I have been driving manual transmissions for about 40 years,and this is definately one of the more unique clutch engagements.
