I was driving my 08 350Z (currently has 70K miles) on the highway approx 60 mph when I attempted to downshift for my exit. The clutch pedal went down and stuck when I shifted out of 6TH and the car wouldn't go into any gear. I missed the exit and pulled to the side of the highway and stopped. Turns out the slave cylinder that had been replaced 20K miles ago under recall had gone bad again! Even more impressive IS that in 68K miles, I've had to have the slave replaced 2X, clutch replaced 3X, flywheel resurfaced 2X, flywheel replaced 1X, clutch master cylinder replaced 1X, multiple trans services, multiple times bleeding the clutch. All work done at dealer using oem parts. This IS a known 350Z defect and nissan should take responsibility for replacing the clutch system w/ an improved design before more people are injured or killed!

I purchased my 08 350Z grand touring october 5, 2015 from hoy fox toyota in el paso tx. 3 days later it left me stranded. The clutch stayed to the floor and it wouldn't gear. They sold it to me saying it had a new clutch so I decided after test driving it to take it. I had to wait 30 days for my power train warranty to kick in so I can make a claim. Initially it was the master cylinder which was covered. However, that was not the case. Later they said I needed a whole new clutch kit for around 2800. Of course I don't have that amount of money. I purchased and exedy aftermarket clutch , flywheel and pressure plate as they told me to do. Took it home november 15 and it worked fine for several months. It then began to leak clutch fluid and clutch felt soft. I went back and they kept telling me to go to nissan. I paid for a diagnosis at viva nissan in el paso tx and the concentric slave cylinder was the issue. I had to go back and forth and try to get the help to fix this issue. I bought a slave cylinder online because I didn't know I had that part under warranty. I tried talking to them at dealership but no help until I made a bad review. They took the car in and they said no worries we will fix it. They replaced the slave cylinder and in 3 days once again it failed. Plastic nissan parts are no good. They get damaged easily and even new cars with less than 5000 miles need it all replaced. The only solution we all might have IS a heavy duty slave cylinder from zspeedsports and its expensive. I've been reading so many cases and we all have the same issues. It's ridiculous what we have to go through and for nissan not to solve this issue immediately . I have no car and its at dealership once again for the third time. I have a case number 23013379. These vehicles need to be replaced and fixed. Too many cases and no help from dealership.

The vehicle IS a 2008 350Z roadster with 15,000 miles, and the transmission was replaced at around 7500 miles (under warranty) due to bearings that were broken. When the car IS brought to mid-high revs in 1st/2nd gear, the clutch will disengage and fall to the floor. This IS accompanied by a very strong burning smell (characteristic clutch burning smell) and IS extremely damaging to the clutch and transmission. The clutch pedal has to be pulled up manually and IS noticeably softer after this happens. This problem has happened 2-3 times in the past year. This problem was noticed in 2007 350z's and has continued into the 2008 350z's. The 350Z mentioned in this report was manufactured in 10/07. *Tr

Driving on freeway approximately 70-75 mph, when applying pressure to clutch pedal I realize there IS little to no clutch pedal pressure and clutch pedal sticks to the floor and has to be pulled back with my foot. Felt slight pedal pressure at the end of pedal travel and disengaged and changed gears into neutral. Pumped clutch while in neutral to see if clutch pedal pressure could return to normal with no success. Clutch engagement remained the same at the very end of travel and would no longer go into gear. Continued pumping clutch pedal and was lucky to get back into sixth gear with a grind into gear to continue driving on freeway at speed. Still pedal continued to stick halfway or more down and had to be returned back to static position manually. Drove to local dealer since was on the way to intended destination where problem still occurred and each gear engagement being irregular to normal. Left car at dealers service department for overnight delivery since dealer service department IS closed on sundays. Clutch pedal IS still halfway depressed as left. *Tr

When rpms are high in first gear, the clutch disengages to the halfway point and you lose all power to the wheels. this IS usually followed by a burning clutch smell. it IS my understanding that nissan recalled the 2007 350Z for the same issue (clutch slave cylinder), but it's apparent that the problem continues with the 2008 model and I'm asking that the nhtsa instruct nissan to extend the fix to 2008 models. *Tr

Hello I have a 2008 nissan 350Z 6 speed manual base model, that I had brought in dec 12 of 2007 brand new. Since then the clutch on the car has gotten stuck three times. All three times are random. Twice was on the highway and once while doing a u turn. The cause of this IS burning up my clutch and the nissan dealerships here in the orlando area are giving me the classic dealership run around. I call nissan on there 1-800-nissan-1 number and said they cant do anything until the dealer looks at it, with a possible charge of $600.00 for looking it at. My car IS at 22,000 today on dec 3 2008. Nissan power train warranty IS until 3 years 36,000 miles, but to check the car IS at my cost. Nissan has reported on the slaver cylinder recall, but they say that's what might not be wrong with it.*tr

Recently, I have bought a new 2008 nissan 350Z. I bought the car on saturday, dec 29. 2007. on dec 31 2007, 3 days later, the slave cylinder for the clutch went out. I can still shift but the clutch pedal feels very very weak now. And the "service engine soon" light IS now on. I have not brought it in yet, due to it being new years day, but will bring it in on jan 2 to get it looked at and replaced.*cn
