2012 here also. Same thing. I've learned that if you double pump the clutch the car likes to shift much easier and smoother. I had Nissan take a look at it and they said it was "normal." I said whatever with it. I swapped to a SS clutch line with Motul RBF600 fluid and its still the same. Unfortunately its something to get use to. Try to double pump the clutch between gears instead of just normally pressing it down and shifting. Sounds weird but engagement and shifting is so much smoother.

Clutch pedal too soft/no feel? Remove the helper spring!

Can you elaborate "double pump the clutch"? Did you mean double clutch?
