| Description of the problem | 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. |
