Possible Nissan OEM clutch system issue - Everyone Read

Before sending in the clutch disc for RMA, I finally got around to getting the clutch pedal rod adjusted as suggested. Along with that, there was stuff floating in the fluid so it was completely flushed.

The engagement point is a bit lower now, and it takes a little bit of getting used to. The car still crawls a little bit every once in awhile, but now I'm able to shift much more quick and smooth. So I finally made it through the day without getting stuck getting in and out of gear, so it's nice.

I'll give it a week before doing high RPM shift testing, but so far I am able to shift a bit quicker without grinding.

With the lower engagement point there's quite a bit of pedal play, so hopefully swapping out the springs will help.

The last thing you want to do is lower the engagement point if you are having release issues. This will make it even harder to disengage/shift.
The HR and VHR have a very high engagement point and it gets even higher with a aftermarket clutch but it needs to be there, You just can't lower it or you effect the clutch release.

So adjusting the clutch rod effectively changes the engagement point? The tech said it was adjusted all the way in one direction and noticed the CSC throw wasn't very far. After making the adjustments, the CSC was finally pushing further into the fingers of the clutch.

When I left for work this morning, it was the first time I wasn't stuck in any of the gears since picking up the car. So there is noticeable improvement other than the engagement point being a bit lower than usual, so it does feel a bit awkward at some point as if I'm losing pressure.

Most definitely,
If it was too far adjusted out then it may have been an issue, It needs to be "correct"
Adjustment is very finicky on these cars, If it feels mushy now it may be a little to loose or it still has air in it. A poorly adjusted master will make it very hard to bleed also.
