cwalkero Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Hi Guys, I just bought a 2005 350z roadster a few weeks ago. I have been out in it a few times but today I decided to get the roof down as the weather is great and take it out for a good drive. Nightmare on the motorway due to roadworks so I was constantly start and stopping. I noticed at one point my clutch was stuck half way down almost at the biting point. I flipped it back out with my foot but noticed if I tapped it again it would sink down. Worryingly I pulled into a kwik fit that I was passing back to get them to take a look. Chap said that if it was stuck all the way down then it would only require a bit of grease to help it loosen but as it was sort of sticking and popping back slowly it would be something else. Now I will be honest I know nothing about cars. I just got rid of my MG TF roadster after I was plagued by many problems but this car has full service history done at the nissan dealership and has done 65000 miles so it should be in good nick but I dont know a bloody thing about cars/parts so please bear with me. Does anyone know what it could be and more importantly is it going to cost an arm and a leg to fix it. I am abit worried about it as I am still treating it like its made out of glass as I just got it. I also thought (maybe I am wrong) but I was in 1st gear at one point doing about mph and I took my foot completely off the clutch and the car didnt stall then I quickly pushed it back in and changed gears.

jumping350 Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 sounds like a clutch slave cylinder fault someone should be along shortly to confirm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 A fluid change and bleed may fix the issue. However I would recommend that you swop out the slave cyl. and upgrade the fluid and also upgrade to a braided line. Parts will cost circa £120.00 and labour circa £50.00 I am only up the road in Perth if you want a free informed diagnoses. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
