Got my 07 back from Nissan after they hopefully fixed my clutch issue...
First thing I noticed when I got in the car... the clutch pedal was a lot lighter and smoother than before... and the clutch engages almost right off the floor instead of well above halfway. Haven't launched it to see if the problem of the pedal sticking to the floor happens again (breaking in the new clutch). Here's what was replaced and what notes the tech left:
12310-JK20C (Flywheel)
30205-JK40A (Clutch/Pressure Plate)
306A1-JK40A (T/O Bearing)
306A2-JK40A (Slave Cylinder)
Notes:
"Checked over and removed trans. Found clutch contaminated with clutch fluid from slave connection to lines + bleeder. Flywheel was burnt from over heating from clutch slipping from contamination. Replaced clutch slave + bleeder line. Also replaced flywheel, clutch, pressure plate."
I also have a repair order, not sure if it's Nissan specific or dealership specific (probably dealership?). Any 07's having this problem should really have it looked at. I'm hopeful this is the last of my clutch problems.

Given what they found when they pulled the trans... I was right, there was a problem. And when I picked up the car the vibe I got from them is I had plenty of credibility if any future issues arise. Hopefully no repeats of this issue...

when i took my car in for the problem, they only changed the t/o bearing and the slave cylinder. when i got the car back the pressure of the clutch was back to normal but still engages at the same point. do you think my clutch and flywheel are okay since they didnt change it?

They replaced the same exact parts on mine...I haven't had another problem since...I suggest anyone with this problem to go out and drive the **** out of the car for a while until the clutch starts to stick and head over to Nissan....If they give you the "Abusive Driving" crap, tell them you bought a sports car for a reason..

The abusive driving crap sounds like ****** at the dealership. WTF is the point of a 350Z if you can't drive it hard, to put groceries in your nonexistent cargo space??

Where'd you take it? They sound like good people. I'm hoping Wilsonville because they've taken care of me very well in the past.

Hey,
When I took my car in they said it may be the master cylinder. Was this suggested to you as well?
Any chance you could scan your Tech notes/vehicle report. May make it easier on us all to get the proper parts replaced. I can host if needed.
Thanks!
