Clutch pedal feel

Zboy · 08-26-2012, 08:56 PM

Hi guys! Maybe someone help me with this problem. Has anyone encountered this clutch feel? It's kind of weird and i'm a little paranoid about the weak transmission and grinding issues on our Z's.

Background:
Happened to me twice. Got the car for about a month. Have driven the car for like only 10x max. Haven't really driven it hard. Both case happened when the car has not been used for about 3-4days. About 7k miles on the car.

Problem:
The regular clutch feel has a loose portion when you press on it at first right? About 10% of the pedal feel. But when I don't use the car for about 3-4days then this "loose feeling" would increase for about 30-40%. But I can still drive the car like normal except for that increased loose feeling, although it comes back to that regular feel right away after about 1 minute of driving (the loose feel slowly decreases). Other than that, everything feels normal and doesn't have any problem. Has anyone encountered this?

Thanks!

Might be air in the clutch lines. Get it bled to rid the air from the lines. Otherwise, the pedal feel will change all over the place and it gets annoying.
