2011 Clutch question
 
I have only had the car for about 3 weeks 500 miles on it. I have had many other manual cars but this one seems to be the toughest to be smooth with. My clutch engages almost at the top and Im not sure if I hear some noise when I get there. Whats your take on it.

Hard to drive smoothly at first.

Being new it's going to be more sensitive at first. But yea, engagement is more at the top.

I bought my Z with 4k miles on it, so I can't speak to the break in experience with the clutch. But I hated the clutch until I put an aftermarket catback on the car, along with K&N drop-ins. The improvement in breathing made a huge difference in how responsive the engine and clutch became.

I sometimes get an inconsistent response from the pedal, and may look into the helper spring mod. But it is much better with the exhaust and intake mods. Just my 4 cents (more than 2 cents because exhausts and drop-in filters are expensive!)

A stainless steel clutch line will solve these issues, my friend. Seriously, the difference is amazing.
