Clutch issue?

USMCASA · 02-24-2010, 04:12 PM

So I was sitting in the drive thru line at lunch today when my clutch pedal started doing something wrong. As I left the line the clutch pedal went almost all the way to the floor with no resistance then at about 2-3 inches from the floor it dissengaged the clutch and I only had the 2-3 inches of play when letting it out. It did come all the way back up but again with no pressure. I also noticed a faint almost knocking noise so I took it straight to the dealer. After driving about 20 min to the dealer the pressure issue went away but the sound persisted. Dealer said they need to replace the clutch release bearing so I'll be without my Z for atleast a day next week. Anyone else have a similar problem?

This happened with the renault master. broken clutch. but that car had about 100000 miles on it before the clutch broke

Rent something weak, ugly and with poor handling, like the PT Cruiser, then when you come back to your own car, you will have several uncontrollable orgasms.

I think a Sentra will fit the bill.

update: dealer has my car as of yesterday and they provided me with a rental via enterprise. i was given a nissan versa, extremely slow and extremely ugly. i asked why i didn't get a comparable car and they said nissan requested that i get a nissan rental and that was the only one available. i should get my car back today hopefully. i know now how a dog feels when it gets neutered after driving the versa.

Wow that's tough, man. I think they need to give you a rental that's in the price range of the car that you bought... so something like a Maxima or a Murano. But I guess if they don't have any available you gotta take what they can give you.

they dont have to give you anything technically..

just picked up the car, no issues with it now. did have to bring it back though to have the passenger side window reset since it wouldn't auto up like it used to and have the reverse lockout adjusted because i went to shift into 5th and 6th and went way past the gears. they fixed it in about 30 min though. can't say i see a different in the sound or feel of the clutch but hopefully i won't have any more issues or it will be right back up there.
