i hopped in my nismo z the other day and went to take off and i feels like the clutch maybe slipping bc it will move but when i get on it the rpms go up 2 grand b4 it has any pick up but i was told that there is a fluid over flow on the tranny and when it over heats or is over worked it will leak ot bt idk what do yall think?

mine did something similar i think. i had to valet my car last weekend, after reluctantly giving up my keys, i remember i left something in the trunk. so i walked to the lot and found the valet revving in 6th trying to find reverse, then he stalled it, then burned the clutch trying once again, until i told him to get out so i could park it. but the damage was done, not sure how bad but i was a few minutes late.
Anyway my car didnt feel at all the same. clutch engagement was a bit higher, and felt like there was less power accelerating, especially in first, and some in second.
i might have been tripping but it felt wierd. dont know what it could be.

Mr. Nismo08350, could you re-write your post as I can't make sense of what you're trying to say.

I have read from credible sources that if a clutch is glazed from abuse it can be re-bedded within a few hundred miles. Read up on clutch break-in procedures, I believe you will want to downshift and use the engine / clutch to slow the vehicle down once in a while to help re-bed the clutch.

Sell the broken nismo, invest in engrish ressons.

Go about 30mph in fourth and floor it. If the rpm just shoots up your clutch is done.

i'll definately do the downshift thing,and the 4th gear thing. im pretty sure my clutch is still good just a little funky after being abused. it bogs in third under 20mph. thamks for the help. im sure its similar to OPs issue.

If it bogs or rpm shoot up I would invest in a clutch. It's a simple test but could lead to an expensive problem. Clutches and flywheels for the z are pricey around $700 or so. The pressure plate or throughout bearing might make noise but it's normal and doesn't hurt anything, it's just simply annoying.

I would go with Jim wolf technology clutch combo.. do it right the first time and you'll love it

that's exactly what it is if there is still life on the clutch. it will glaze. unfortunately the excessive wear has worn away hundreds of miles of clutch.

I never trust valet. They are mainly young kids and I doubt most can drive stick. I've seen some of them park in the parking garage at the mall and lets says they treat the car like it's a rental.
