Soooo my clutch feels a little weird... When I depress the pedal it kinda feels like it gets stuck half way back, like at one point I had to pull it back with my foot... Also feels really light when I push it in... Thoughts??

Clutch lines or leak in the system. Find any puddles? Check your cylinder.

agree with Dave on this, wasn't getting any leaks on mine, but My clutch would start sticking halfway after engaging it and releasing for a shift (especially during warmer weather), sometimes I would get scared that it wouldn't shift and get stuck in traffic.

However those symptoms are familiar with the Z/G's also E36 bimmers (I miss mine) and its usually the Clutch Master Cylinder needs to be replaced because its not providing hydraulics necessary for the clutch or there is a leak somewhere. Its a cheaper and quick fix if you know what you're doing; took me 1.5 hours. If this is the problem I replaced mine with the willwood clutch master cylinder (more pricey, but great quality) otherwise they go for $40-$65....also check your fluid and make sure its clear (not dark brownish looking.) and not low (obviously).

Tara and I saw 300 when it first came out at the IMAX screen at the Zoo. It was so full of awesomeness. Might have to do this the same way.

Adding that event to my bucket list. I wish I could drive the Z on that stretch.

There's no way I'm spending that kind of money for a car that doesn't work. Learned that lesson too well.

So I'm looking for a CD009 transmission now. On Saturday, I kept crunching into 3rd gear. It's not looking good. Even Tara commented on it. It's time. I looked at the marketplace, and these tranny's go quickly. Should I buy used or get one from a vendor?
