Does anybody else think the 370 manual tranny sucks!

I have a 2012 Nismo, have 8500 miles on it, and I doubt I drive my car as "hard" as others, but I pretty much gas it every time I take off (changing gears every 3000-3500 rpm); however, tonight I heard the strangest noise (for the first time). The light changed red, put it in neutral, stopped, and heard an almost grinding/clunking noise. Pushed in the clutch it went away. Back in neutral same sound again. The light turned green so I took off, pulled into a parking lot, but now it "seems" as though the noise quit.

Any other experiences out there?

Flywheel chatter. Every Z has it. The lighter the flywheel, the louder it is.
