Yeah, thanks crazy yank! It's good to be reassured.

Well three months down the line it's not the shifting I have a problem with anymore - I've learned how to manage that and I shift a lot smoother on this gearbox now. But I'm STILL talking to Nissan about the clutch vibration.

They diagnosed it as the throw-out bearing, which they changed along with the clutch cover. That fixed nothing. I now suspect it could be the master cylinder. What else could it be, considering revving the engine up to 3k RPM and back again fixes it temporarily? I'm otherwise lost for answers.

It pisses me off that they deem it 'normal', when I'm now an avid member of Vegas' Z community and NONE of the other guys' 370Zs have that clutch vibration. It pisses me off even more when my Z-owning friends drive my car and say 'woah, that is rough'.

I ADORE my car, but I really wish I didn't have this issue.
