Thanks for all the info everyone!

Let me ask y'all this. I had a 2012 Frontier 6 speed, Completely different vehicle I know, but it was powered by a VQ with supposedly the same 6 speed as the 370.

I loved the truck, and it was quick for what it was, but I was not a fan of how the clutch acted. It took me something like 8,000 miles to learn how to drive it smoothly. I Had 4 Nissan trucks with manuals prior to it that I was able to shift smoothly with no effort at all.

Basically when driving I had to wait a second for the revs to drop between shifts before letting he clutch out. Anytime I wanted to drive spirited it felt like the clutch had some slip to it if I shifted very quickly.

How does the 370 act in normal cruise conditions between shifts? Some were saying the Dual Mass Flywheel is why the Frontiers act the way they do.
