This all sounds like human error and needing to just get used to the car. It took me a solid week to get everything perfect. But I did have a month of practice driving a manual before I bought the Z.

+1 I think the feel is fine. It just takes some getting used to. I hopped in my buddies Mustang GT and holy hell was that clutch a pain compared to the Z. The Z is touchy and driving it takes some getting used to. Anyone that came from the 350 will know this.

I thought mine was a pain for the first 1-2 weeks. Now I think it's fine. Have shifts as smooth as an Automatic car.

So removing the helper spring helps find the engagement point better?

another question i have is when im on a uphill, i never have smooth shifts N-3....why is that any advice for that? do you even sshift into second on the hill or just goes 1-3?

or do ijust give it more has cause the rpm's fall faster?

Nothing wrong with putting in the clutch helper spring. It will give you better feel of your clutch. Sorry to say this, but your friend is incorrect.

Did I read your question right, are you saying you're skipping a gear while going uphill? I never do that, going down hill-yes.

Your friend has no idea what he's talking about. Being able to feel the engagement point will make your life so much easier.

:iagree: to all the above!

Let's bash the friend!!! Bring out the pitchforks!!!
No but seriously, your friend has never driven a 370Z and/or is 100% wrong.
OTHER cars have a clutch pedal feel... The 370Z doesn't... At all...

Taking the spring out takes it from almost the WORST transmission to pretty good, bit clunky, but who cares? Best mod you can do on a manual.

Just take it out for the time being. See if you even want a spring in there. It takes ten minutes and is completely reversible. Also, being a mechanic for three years doesn't mean you know anything. 75% of the mechanics I've ever met were functionally FULLY retarded.

Fixed :tup:

Hmm $15-20 for an eBay product. Is it reliable? Does it break easily?

No. Remove the spring makes the clutch stiffer.
