i think its starting to happen to me...tonight everytime i went to launch the car hard and was completly off the clutch the tires would barly spin out and it feel like i was still holding the clutch slightly. Also when i would shift into second usually this car chirps friggin hard, now out of 6 times i got like 2 chirps and there was barely a spin, the times it didnt spin it just felt like i was riding the clutch again, and i wasnt at all. I work for the dealer, and the person who owns it is praticly like family to me....so im going to bring this car in and make something get done....when i find out what it is and its fixed i will let everyone know.

Not exactly sure what this has to do with the clutch (maybe the synchros) but I hear a horrible grind when I push the clutch in... and yes its floored. This seems to happen only when I shift above 3K.

that is similar to bmw's clutch valve, it does not drop the clutch all at once when it is disengaged, they have been taking out that valve to allow the clutch to load up

Cool, let me know how it goes, I plan to do it myself later this week. I just need to pick up a syringe or baster and some prestone dot4 synthetic fluid.

Clutch woooooooooes.......!

I had this issue with my '92 300ZXTT where the pedal just fell to the floor
and I had to pull it back up. Afterwords it would engage like nothing ever
happened. After a few incidents like this I had them look at the clutch master
cylinder and that was the problem. The rubber plunger wasn't holding the
pressure and was failing. Kinda like a wheel cylinder failing to hold the pressure
when the pedal is applied. Anyone else know what a wheel cylinder besides
myself? haha

I don't think so. This behavior has been described on new cars as well. Their fluid would be perfectly clean.
