Default Clutch Issue

Just to let everyone know the clutch actually feels normal after warming the car up and driving it after about 10 minutes. It just feels "spongy" at first. That really is the best way to describe it. I have called Gwinnett Nissan, and they too say it sounds like the CSC. I have an appointment to bleed the clutch. Sounds like quite the PITA, and I do not want to void my warranty by messing something up. So I am just going to let them do it. Thanks again for everyone's input!!!!

Thanks for the heads up. I will keep them in mind too.

It's less likely that they took it for a joyride.
Of course I automatically assume the worse when I noticed the problem. I have dealt with this tire shop on a number of occasions, so I don't think they would do anything to my car, and I totally agree. Most techs are horrible at driving manuals. Lol!
