Stiff as F*** clutch!
#18
yeah i once thought these clutches were a bit stiff but after driving an m3 it isnt much! one PROBLEM ive been having for 6 months++ now is right when im releasing the clutch in any gear i get a loud click!! it to damNN loud and the dealer has yet to fix it after bieng there 10 times for the same problem..ive been thinking of throwin a lemon at them for it but we'll see. anyone have a clue of what is causing this click? it seemed to happen right after getting my pedals installed which was at dealership and had them change bushings etc...also if car is sitting for a while it doesnt start clicking right away it takes a bit after chnaging gears.....???

linkage that may be loose/defective and need to be replaced.

You crackheads aren't respecting the change.
03-04 Coupes have a super stiff and long clutch.
05-06 Coupes have a very short and light clutch...so light that for the first week of driving my 06 the clutch was just numb to me. Shifting effort for 05-06 Coupes has also been hugely reduced, with slightly longer throws and less vibrations from the shift ****. Even the power steering of my 06 Coupe is lighter than my 03 was.

That's how I set off from a stop in my Z06 - just let off the clutch, no gas (and it will roll on its own power up to about 20kph before it needs gas) - tried it in a friend's car and it just died, lol, so I've always wandered if that was a function of an engine w/ a lot of torque, or something else?

i do agree that the clutch on the G is on the stiffer side. i've owned many manual car before and the G is stiff compare to the others. when i first bought my G i thought there was something wrong with the clutch, so i brought it in to the dealer to have it looked at and they told that's how it is on these cars. after two months of driving it, i'm use to it now.
