I just got a 2008 350z nismo with less than 9,000 miles on it. Ive had it for 2 weeks and I love everything about it except it seems to make a possible throwout bearing chatter after its warmed up. It drives me crazy. Heres this gorgeous sports car but oh wait it sounds like there are marbles in the transmission. I heard it was "the nature of the beast" or "normal and causes no problems." Is this true and is there a way to get rid of it either way?

Also interested. I have a 08 with the same chatter similar to a throw out bearing.

Do 6MT g35s do this too? On a Z they can pass it off sports car, nature of the beast, etc. someone buying an infiniti wont be so accepting of there new luxury car having marbles in the tranny.

22k miles and mine does it too. it's a common complaint but as far as I've heard it's just noise and nothing to be concerned about.
