"Go tell it the Marines"
 

For the first time in the 370, I ended up in ten miles of stop and go traffic, over one hour. From all the complaining about clutch engagement I've heard, how hard it is, tiring etc. I just want to say next time "Go tell it the Marines". What a bunch of lazy out of shape pansy's we have here. My 370 was the easiest clutch to engage over and over, I have ever known. My 1953 Chevy clutch would likely kill some. The same clutch my Grandma drove until she was 86.

If this deters you from buying a manual, you need more exercise. It is not the cars fault. No, it is not fun to crawl in traffic with or without an automatic.

This subject now reminds me of the whole VDC off, equals sure death opinion. Please do not blame the car for your own deficiencies.

Which oil should I use? :stirthepot:

The Marines can't hear me over all the road noise :stirthepot:

Judging by the ASVAB score needed to get into the marines... Not saying much... :stirthepot:

"I Push Clutch In, I Let Clutch Out"

I've never heard anyone complain about the Z's clutch being hard or tiring, in fact quite the opposite. Most complain the pedal feel is very vague and you can't feel the pressure plate at all. Nissan has been using some helper springs in to the pedal to assist the driver for some time which feels like crap IMO, you can pull the spring out or swap it for a softer rate spring and its much improved.

I pick things up and put them down :confused: :rofl2:

Your Grandma had a giant left leg. I'm jess' sayin'.......................

Thank you for this new, exciting, and interesting opinion that no one on any car forum has ever expressed!

Well then I should have bought 6MT!

The stupid paddle shifters on my 7AT are too hard to pull and they hurt my wrists!!! :rofl2:

:wtf2:

:icon18: I know what you just did there. Good one :tup:

My complaint was that the clutch pedal feels to software as well.

So it's an Electronic clutch? i.e. Automatic...?? :icon08:

7AT ftw
