2014 Nismo clutch replacement already :/

ayrton88 · 05-28-2015, 09:46 AM

I knew a guy, that knew a guy, that was a Ferrari salesman and he said rich guys would buy a new Ferrari and burn out the clutch driving it home for the first time. Can't say I feel sorry for them. Of course that wouldn't be a problem today since all the poseurs would get the paddle shifters. In fact, I'm not sure you can get a modern Ferrari with a traditional manual.

Well I just picked up the Z from the dealer and driving it to TF works. They gave me the car in worse condition that I brought it in. Now all the gears are slipping. BAD ! Also when you turn on the car for the first time you hear a whining sound coming from the engine -tranny :/ They seem kind of pissed that I didn't have them do the work. But for 2000 $3000 screw them! They had the nerve to ask me if I would bring them the aftermarket clutch kit so they can install it . I just looked at him like WTF ? Yeah right.

^ in worse condition? I would have taken it back and have them fix it (the way you brought it).

Its BAD!!!

They told me the only way the clutch would have gone bad is by beating the Z hard . I told them does it look like I beat my Z . This is a pic 1yr after I have own it in Chicago at that. Have to do this at 17700 is bull Sh**

I agree. As I said in the previous post defective products should be covered. I also think a clutch that only lasts 2k most likely qualifies as defective.

But that's neither here nor there...

Bummer about the clutch but what a beautiful car. At least now with the aftermarket parts you'll have a top notch setup that'll last...
