Next morning, Clutch pedal to the floor and stayed there. The dealer towed the car & confirmed he "Thinks" the problem was the master cylinder. 7 day's later (two days ago) I picked up the Z everything working fine and covered by warranty. Ten minutes ago the pedal stuck again half way to the floor and is engaging very close to the floor. So I'm finishing up my work, driving the Z home (If I make it) and calling for a tow truck. Luckily, I haven't had any fried clutch smell in the cab. When I questioned the dealer concerning the clutch issue, he claimed he'd never heard of any problems with the clutch in the 370z. Funny I haven't had many problems finding others with the same problem....

Was there a resolution to round 2's sticking to the floor? I just had the same thing happen yesterday in traffic with only 6600 miles... Dealer said "nope! looks fine!" this morning, and I drove away with it working fine.... Really not trying to get towed off of 495....what do you guys think about air in the lines? I'll probably bleed it when I get home from work today...

I"m having the same issues as stated above. My pedal has stuck on me, and I am getting a burnt smell in my car. My car has sit more than I have driven it since I am in the Military, and I deploy. My car has 12,000 miles on it. I took it to the dealership yesterday, to only have them test drive the car and tell me I need a new clutch and flywheel that will run me close to $2500!!! I questioned this, and mentioned failures of CSC's to them, and they respond back with "for $600 we can drop your transmission" I understand people have to get paid for work, but I feel this should be free!! I don't think my clutch is bad I feel it is something else, I just dont want to be wrong, and then be stuck with a $3200 clutch replacement!!!! FML
