So today I was going to one of my soccer games, I warmed up the car like usual... I usually start the car and let it idle for a good 3-4 minutes before I go anywhere and I did just that... Soooo I was going down my street, reach the bottom and I go to turn right, I shift from 1st to 2nd at about 15mph and the clutch gets stuck to the floor for a good 5 seconds before I was able to lift it up with my foot. After that it smelled like burnt clutch, and it would stutter bad getting out of 1st and when i shifted into 2nd and let out the clutch to continue driving. Every other gear was fine. I parked the car for about 2 hours and came back and my friend asked what that burning smell was and he didn't even know what had happened to my car. Obviously its most likely the CSC that went out and its pissing me off. I have not checked the clutch fluid yet, I will do that first thing tomorrow before I take it to Nissan to have it checked out. Also, I went to start the car and it started, and then it just died right away. This is the second time thats happened. I had about 5 dots on the gas gauge so I'm not low on fuel or anything and the car was warm when I started it. I'm not to sure what that could be. I did a quick google search and what I got out of that was either I was low on fuel or that something with the cam positioning sensor. I have no check engine light on either. Sorry for my little rant but it's bothering me. BTW the car has 33,900 miles on her. Any opinions on how I should go about having these two problems checked out would be greatly appreciated.

One thing you have to watch out for is the fuel pump is cooled by the fuel in the tank being an internal pump Letting the fuel drop low will wear it out prematurely this is the same for all newer vehicles..
