I have noticed the past couple times of driving my Z "only drive once a week" that the clutch does not return to the original position. Meaning, I push down the clutch pedal and shift fine but when I release the pedal goes up and stops. The at that point I either push it up with my foot or it eventually pops back up. This is not consistent and does work normal at times but does this most of the time. Anyone know what this might be and how I can fix it without replacing the clutch. The car only has 33,000 miles on it and I have only had the car for 1000 miles.

 

Just talked to the prior owner and they changed the clutch and flywheel to an upgraded package when they added the TN turbo kit around 5k miles ago.

 

Anyone have any idea on what could be causing this or how to fix it?

Please Help!

 

Mine does that too sometimes. Usually when I'm in real heavy traffic and I use the clutch a lot. No idea what it is though, I forgot to ask the dealer last time I was there. But it's pretty annoying having to pull the clutch up with your foot every time

 

Yea the same is happening to me. 8(

 

Same here and its 08.

 

Well thats not a good sign is it.

 

saw another post that refers to the through out bearing. Anyone know a good step by step for replacing the through out bearing in an 05 350z?

 

Call your local dealer and ask them

 

check your clutch fluid reservoir

 

i just got this fixed. went to the dealership and told them i have the sticking clutch issue and they replaced the clutch slave and master cylinders under warranty. doesn't happen at all anymore..

 

Which dealer did you take it to? WCN?

 

yup. go there but i would suggest talking to ruben ONLY. he actually keeps you updated (if you ask him to) with the status of your car. everyone else there doesn't do shiet.

 

cool thanks...I might go this week

 

yea i would say its either the throw out bearing isnt greased enough or an air bubble in the line. i doubt its the clutch or flywheel but i could be wrong.

 

Okie I feel like a noob, where is this at?

 

To bad I have a stage 2 clutch for the turbo kit or I would do this.

 

drivers side plastic panel under the hood. 9/10 its an air bubble in the fluid. try to bleed it first before bringing it to the dealer cause sometimes they will say you need new parts when you dont. my dealer sucks and would do that

 

I will be a mechanic from buying this Z a month ago. Never blead a cluch, any DIY threads on how to do this. I have searched the DIY and can not seem to find it.

 

having the same problem here.. dropped my z off last month and they don't know what causing it. going to drop it off at another location.
