Margoos Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Hi all! Picked up my 350z yesterday after trading in my diesel MK6 golf. Its a 2006 with 66K on the clock. I'd like to say that my ownership has gotten off to a good start but i have a clutch/release bearing issue i believe after having a search around the site (increased noise when clutch is lifted up but goes away when pressed in) I'm thinking it might be best to get a full clutch kit and get everything replaced so i will have to try the garage near me and see what they can do. If there are any owners around the Wakefield area then ill try keep an eye out for you Cheers Mark Quote
Margoos Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys! I don't suppose you could recommend anyone to supply an OEM clutch kit with flywheel? Is there anything else worth replacing/uprating while the gear box is off? The 350z is a new beast to me so just learning as i go along so any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated Edited September 11, 2016 by Margoos Quote
Gudzy Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Without actually hearing the noise, from your description it sounds like it could just be a normal noise of the 350z, especially if the flywheel has been changed to a single mass. 1 Quote

I don't actually have a video myself at the moment but i will pop out and take one later on. This is the thread that i found which led me to believe that this could be the problem, the videos on page 2 are the same issue i am having - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/59884-new-owner-noise-when-pushing-clutch-pedal-down/ Quote
