Out of the Frying Pan....

OP i drive mine to DT toronto and back to the suburbs on frequent occasions. i've done it in sun, rain, hail and flurries. the only time i had problems was the first few drives in. was pretty hard. stalled maybe twice doing the DD. once on an uphill. once on a downhill. don't ask about the later one.

it's actually easily managable. i did find removing the helper spring made it a lot easier to tell. but is a very high on/off. my buddies don't believe me when i say i have like 1cm between engaged and full clutch and then about 6'' of travel to the bottom. lol they wouldn't know coming from civics/sti's.

i think the premature csc wear happens to those clutching-in too quickly after high rev.
even through the excitement, i think one needs to play it cool on the 370Z and go gentle during clutch-in even if one dumps it into the next gear going WOT.

interesting hypothesis on the csc wearing. i notice that the clutch plates shudder a bit when you're revving hard and push the pedal a bit too enthusiastically.

usually i'm just gentle.
