Possible Nissan OEM clutch system issue - Everyone Read

DIGItonium

It's the ZSpeed HD CSC. The only modification is to the transmission cover to fit the new CSC.

If that's the case, is there any way to adjust it so the CSC pushes further? Would it be related to adjusting the clutch pedal engagement point in the 350Z?

I guess it depends on where the real problem lays. What clutch did you go with? Z Speed has a bearing sleeve that fits over the CSC that extends it's reach so to speak, with some clutches the CSC doesn't make good contact with the fingers of the pressure plate.

I ordered the ZSpeed CSC and South Bend DXD Stage 4 as Joe recommended.

[EDIT] The car is still "drivable." There were a few times I got stuck in 1st, so I eased the car forward a bit and was able to take it out of gear. I tried to see if the car would budge or checked the tach with the clutch fully pressed. No difference, so it appears the clutch is fully disengaged. Again, the problem comes and goes. When it doesn't happen, the gearbox is very smooth (knock on wood).
