tonight i just went to the track and i ran for the first time and got a 14.08 and then the sec. time i went my cluch got stuck down and it would come up very slow and felt very soft than what it was before, and there was a smell and everything. So i thought maybe its hott and causing things to mess up. i went and let the car cool off for a while and it work just fine. I went back to the track and the same things happend again. Do you no what i maybe doing wrong?? or maybe i broke something?

Change your Clutch Fluid to a Higher Temp one.

so do you think the fluid maybe getting way to hot and making it act up? and me getting better fluid will it void warrenty?

Don't 07's have master slave issues anyways?
It's under warranty so take it in

There is actually a recal on it too for the 2007.
Call your local dealer and have them preform the recall on your clutch.

Ive never had any problems with my clutch (knock on wood)...but my advisor said the recall was for the clutch not coming back up when it gets overheated.

well see today i took it into my dealer and they guy thought their could be a deffect on the master cyclinerd and he check and their was nothing for it. at the end of the day when i went to go get my car the guy said their was just air in the clutch line and thats why i was getting it and now that you said that clutch could be over heating. i think that could be the cause.

The 07's have a slave cylinder recall. You should get it done.

If it keeps happening, upgrade to a stainless steel clutch line and flush it out with some dot4 fluid. These two things will fix your issue.

take it to the dealer, TELL them to perform the slave cyl recall.

well it was only at the track when i got this so maybe one day when i go and it happens again ill just have to tell them its a accuring problem and the part could be deffective and if they can just be nice and replace it. Just wondering should i even tell the dealer that i went to a track, becuase could it void warrenty?

there is a warranty on the slave cylinder. they shouldnt even ask a question. if you go in there, tell them your clutch is falling to the floor and want them to do the slave cylinder recall work, they will. do it before you go to the track, why waste money next time going to the track when it will just happen again?

ya thats trust but it only happens with i burn out before i do the quart mile and stuff and it burning up my clutch i think idk what to do really but im think about going their and just talking to the guy and have them just look at everything with the clutch and stuff just to make shur nothing go damage because of their defect to leave air in my clutch line

Hoooper

seriously, im not sure what you dont understand about this. its free. its a recall. all you need to do is go to the dealer, tell them you want the recall done and they will do it. no money from you, just a better performing car.

Exactly. It's a recall, which means Nissan has not only acknowledged that there is an issue but is actively reaching out to customers to fix the issue whether they know it or not.

ffs, just get it done, otherwise delete the thread.

"Zs" have MT/clutch problems at the track, in the city, in the freeway, in the
country...It's not the setting, it's the "Z's" MT.

ok i already went to the dealer after that day at the quarter mile and thats what the guy thought that it could be the slave but they checked it all and stuff and said their was air in the line and im wondering. if it caused the clutch to mess up and slip how would i no that its slipping becuase this is the first time i ever had a m/t car so i dont no what to really look for

Hoooper

iTrader: (5)

the slave caused the clutch to slip, boiling the fluid and that is why there is air in the line. same thing happens if you put the car into 4th going 80 and try letting out the clutch slowly without a rev match, but that would be your fault.

so bascily if it happends again say its the slave and have them replace it
