Steven Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Hi all took my z out this evening and the clutch didnt retract fully after each gear. The gear change was ok but the pedal didnt fully come back up. Then when I got home there was rattling noise which went away when the I pressed the clutch back in but came back after releasing. Also moving the gear stick seemed to rattle also. Is this sounding like big expensive work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurez33 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Do you mean the pedal didn’t retract fully? and what age is your z? Clutch slaves are notorious on earlier models so an upgrade kit is recommended from tarmac, You could always start there and work forwards, tbh having your clutch replaced shouldn’t be that expensive the parts are more of the burden than the labour as the booktime is about 3.80 or so auto data says( depends if you need the dual mass replacing) when you turn it off or start it up do you hear a prominent knocking? When I lift my foot off the clutch I can hear the rotational movement from the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this sounding like big expensive work? morning,i had the same thing on my 06 plate 350z,i replaced the slave cylinder,new braided line and dot 5.1 clutch fluid and its sorted,i also made up a heat shield for the clutch line as it runs fairly close to the cat/test pipes,as i found after a hard drive in higher ambient temps ,the clutch pedal felt sloppy.

Bunning Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Sounds like the clutch slave cylinder to me too. Same thing happened on my 350Z (DE) when i had it. The pedal would get stuck about halfway coming back up but with a flick of the toe would come right back up. Mine was worse when hot. I bought a Stoptech slave cylinder from Tarmac Sportz, had it fitted and the system bled and all was good again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
