G 35 clutch slippage

Alright, so I just purchased my first g35. I have a stock drivetrain. I only have 12K miles. BUT...I feel like my clutch slips on hard 1-2 shifts. Also, when I try a brake-stand(Traction Control off, of course), the tires don't spin, but instead the clutch slips. Soooo not good. Also, on hard drag launches I have let the clutch all the way out but I can just feel it still not fully engaged. Am I imagining things? Is this a common problem? The car is still under warranty. Should I get it checked out?

PS I am so glad to be a part of the G culture now. Good purchase.

Clutch is shot. Our cars aren't dragsters, you know.

The clutch and flywheel are wear and tear items so not covered by warranty. There's a few sponsors on here that have clutch and flywheel kits for sale. If you want just a stock replacement, get the Exedy OEM replacement. Its actually better than stock and the flywheel is 14 lbs lighter than the factory one. 18 lbs as opposed to 32 lbs.

Labor will probably run you anywhere from 400-600.

I bought the parts myself and had the local shop put in my clutch and it totaled me 900. Infiniti wanted 2200. If you dog a car it will break. No matter how many miles are on it.

Might have something to do with this

Welcome though, and enjoy the car!
