New clutch feels almost worn out?
Barely has 350 miles on the new clutch, but it's engaging when the pedal is almost completely released. It's an OEM clutch. Can the clutch engagement point be adjusted in any way?
Or did I screw up the clutch already in only 350 miles? Lol. Only stalled it a few times, honestly. Do OEM clutches screw up that quickly?
Thanks!

actually i just installed a clutch in my boys 06, but did not go back stock. there was hardly any pedal at all. i had to make a new slave cylinder pin. jack up the car and where the slave cylinder runs into the arm and see if there is any slack. they actually make an adjustable pin.

if you use the search thread there is actually a clutch height engagement point mod that you can do to your z to allow the clutch to engage at a lower poitn making the car much easier and faster to shift and driev with in traffic. Do a search for that and you may be able to adjust the height and fix the problem.

Just had the same done last week.. have about 300 miles since install of new OEM clutch and new OEM transmission (3rd gear made a slight grind every now and then- nissan dealer yanked the trans and put a new one in under warranty- I'm still shocked as all hell.) Clutch was SUPER touchy when new- now is very soft and seems to engage kind of late. I'm comparing this to the new clutch feel and my old trans/ clutch with 40K.... I liked my 40K clutch better. I think I'll do this mod over the next weekend with adjusting the pedal- seems liek what I need.
Thanks!! A just to throw out a plug, Victory Nissan of Macomb, MI is the best!

I tried the mod, it didn't really help much, believe it or not. My 3rd gear is grinding once in a while when I put it in too! What did they tell you was causing that, and what year is your Z?
