Hairyaardvark Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hey guys, I have a 2008 350z with 70k on the clock and a new 'clutch pack' (according to the receipt) about 10k ago. Car is new to me though. It has the most difficult clutch I've ever experienced on a car, and I've owned a heap of manual sports cars in the past, including one with a paddle clutch. In fact this car acts like it has a paddle clutch fitted, even though it can't have. Symptoms: - REALLY high bite point - power comes in all at once, right at the top of the bite point - there is almost no way to feed the clutch in smoothly unless I give the car loads of revs (2-2.5k) - if I don't give it quite enough, the car will hesitate strongly and threaten to stall - 3,4,5,6th gear all fine. Issues mainly with gears 1 and 2 - coasting at low speed in 2nd gear with clutch fully engaged, car threatens to stall much earlier than I'd expect, for such a powerful engine I have read on here that 350s have a high bite point. Am I just being a wuss? 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) I would just pull the box and check what fly and clutch kit is fitted. Edit: And when you are in there upgrade the CSC if it is an HR. Edited May 3, 2016 by ZMANALEX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairyaardvark Posted May 4, 2016 Author Share Posted May 4, 2016 Thanks ... I definitely will as a last resort, although isn't that a 4 hour job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gudzy Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Perhaps see if you can get a go in another to compare with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
