tobyn123 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Hi chaps and chapesses, So I noticed 5 weeks ago or so the dreaded burning clutch smell, Then it disappeared and it was quickly forgotten, However this week I noticed the clutch slip, initially a small amount however its got worse, I am running standard with the exception of an induction kit, I have no plans to turbo or supercharge or anything more then possibly a new exhaust, So I think keeping OEM is fine, Enless you 350z wizards know of any other reason? the car just hit 100k and I believe to be OEM so its done pretty well. Where is the best place (not necessarily cheapest but if it is then thats a bonus) to get it done and/or acquire the part? I am based in west london but can travel a bit if worth while? many thanks in advance Cheers T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You need to have a think about whether you want to keep the OEM dual mass flywheel setup or go for a replacement single mass flywheel. We can advise and supply both options and have to many member's on here, just get in touch if we can help further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyn123 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 forgive me lack of knowledge what are the benefits to a single mass flywheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The main benefit over the dual mass flywheel is there are no moving parts so they do not wear out. They are also a lot lighter which allows the engine to rev a lot more freely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tobyn123 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 ah gotcha, Just to double check something - Whats happening is as I put my foot down (Not every time just sporadical) the revs start to go up as normal then drop down a bit, then continue as normal, this is my clutch yeah?

Cheers T This is what also confuses me sometimes. I always believed: If revs go up and no power = clutch if revs go down and no power = traction control or could be the other way.

Ewen@Clark Motorsport Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 If your revs are rising but the engine is not able to transmit the power then that is clutch slip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ense Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Hi all, I have just bought myself my 1st Z and it's the best car I've owned by a long way I do seem to be getting a bit of a sticky clutch pedal sometimes though. It's an 07 GT with 18 months warranty. I read on a forum that the slave cylinder is close to the exhaust so it happens more often when the engines hot which is what mine did and can be solved by high temp fluid and a braided hose. Can anyone clarify this for me and also recommend a mechanic in the south east kent area as close to Canterbury or Whitstable as possible please. Cheers.
