clutch sticking?

37Z

Nissan salve cylinders are the issue. I had the same problem swith my previousl 350Z. I swapped out the stock slave cylinder line with a SS one. In have not had this issue with my 370Z yet. I am not sure the 370Z is internal or external. Others can chime in if they know.

Firing this thread up again.. I get weird clutch action when I modulate clutch and gas e.g. merging into another lane/ getting around a stopped vehicle etc. with lots of gas, the clutch doesn't want to engage so it sits at the bottom of the throw range and sort of comes up a little if I reduce throttle- and I have to completely let off the gas (with traffic approaching from behind- fun) in order to get the clutch engaged. It's happened since I bought the car new, again today getting around a Mustang crawling over a minor RR crossing, with lots of clutch smell from the slippage. Is this just the traction control ( usually off if I remember to ) or an issue with the slave/fluid?

It's the master and/or slave cylinder. The slave is a CSC that is inside the transmission, so it needs to be dropped to replace. You can visually inspect it by prying the rubber dust cover were the clutch line meets the slave. Watch for fluid leaks.

Same here, I remember when I was driving the 350z, they had a recall on the vehicle about changing a part that is related to the slave cylinder, I have the job done at the dealership at no cost.

However, at about the 3rd year driving the 350z, I notice the 'pop' action from the clutch pedal, especially in cold weather.

Pharmacist, is your 370z still under warranty? you might want to have the service department take a look at it.
