07 clutch issue...again
Hey guys, I know its been posted numerous times about people having the clutch drop problem underhard driving conditions or heavy traffic with the HR. I have had it too intermittently. Unfortunately there is a new issue to add to the clutch list and Im curious to know if I am the only one experiencing it. Since its gotten very cold.(below freezing) Ive noticed that when I get into my car my clutch pedal is very soft until about 65-75% depressed. Also when pressed down to the floor its very slow to return or wont return at all and I have to pull it back up. I havent actually driven the car hard in a few weeks so I know its not due to the regular overheating clutch issue. Anybody else had this problem or know what it could be attributed to?

If you haven't had it into the dealer yet, prepare yourself. you are experiencing the beginning stages of the dreaded slave/assist cylinder issue. Since I had mine replaced, the only thing I notice is the clunking and difficulty getting into first on these bitter-cold mornings but that I understand is normal with the Z.

This morning it was about 17 degrees at my house and it was the first time my clutch was slow to return. I DID attribute it to the cold cause it seemed to loosen up pretty quickly, just the first or second push getting out of my driveway had the slow return. I too am just.....waiting.

Now I needa pay attention to this. I know sometimes it feels kinda soft but it still kicks back. It miiight be a bit weak at start up but its freezing out. But I notice it still kicks back. One thing I know that gets me mad is when I rev up hard and take off the clutch pedal sits at the bottom and sticks then flies back up and I needa wait a lil less than a scnd before I can re-engage it into 2nd.. And sometimes my 2nd gear vibrates and does a little grind going into gear. But someone on here told me thats because I'm still getting use to this car.. I dunno.
