Knock from the clutch pedal

jhh343 · 07-20-2010, 08:53 PM

My clutch pedal makes the same noise when I release it from time to time. Haven't seen any effects on performance. If Nissan hasn't said anything about it I wonder what difference there will be with a replacement pedal.

I happened to be at the dealer today for an interior panel issue and spoke to the service manager. While scheduling an appointment with him I brought up the clutch problem. I haven't had time to go back and have this further troubleshot. The service manager indicated they had been working on another Z with he same knocking issue. The entire pedal assembly was replaced along with some shim modifications. The problem never has been resolved. I suggested it might be a hydraulic issue but he felt it was still related to the pedal. It seems there is too much play where the pin meets the pivot assembly. I will update everyone once they look at my car.

Thanks for the update Ryann. I hope they can resolve my problem too. The noise and feel of the clutch drives me crazy when it happens.
