Does anyone's transmission clunk from time to time when pushing the clutch in??

Normal. The 350z/370z has always been a fairly involved and noisy car. She'll make some odd noises from time to time. Nothing to worry about.

Try this: When shifting from 1st to 2nd, push the clutch in slowly and don't shift immediately. Then slowly put it in 2nd gear. I'll be willing to bet there is no noise at all.

yup its normal, I too started a thread about this when I first got my car. you'll get to where you can drive it and hardly ever make it clunk again. when you're in first and going into second or even from first to neutral push the clutch in slowly...enjoy

thanx, cuz i felt the different in shifting while the S-mode is on and off. I felt the clutch more sensitive while it is off. and it sure is easy to drive while it is on. does any of you feel the same way?
