Clutch sticking in 06 G35
#16
I have the same issue.. only happens on hot days in city traffic. sticks right at the point of engagement. I told infiniti about it and they do nothing, and cant replicate the problem. Probably because, when I drop it off it cools down for hours before they drive it. I asked them to change the master or slave cylinder under warranty and they make up some excuse.. I will try the WD40 fix, doesnt hurt and is free.

I agree with you in that a majority of people here are quick to get something replace since most don't know how to pick up a wrench and do it themselves. They're quick to agree in everything the dealership or mechanic has to say.
It sure wouldn't hurt to try the Wd40 thing if it the sticking is indeed at the pedals. In my case, it turned out to be the hydraulic clutch fluid. I surely didn't replace any slave or master cylinders which would've been the most expensive and last option I would've tried.
I did this and the clutch hasn't been sticking since...

Fluid flush always works for me. Have to do it about once a year or so. I suspect it comes on when you have your A/C since it's out which means your fluid is more prone to boiling. For those that replaced the MC/SC... I'm curious if the problem is fixed since you have to flush the system to replace those parts.

Mine sticks too but I haven't even broken 40k yet?
Ha. Well I just called Infiniti Chantilly and described the problem and the guy told me it wasn't the slave and master cylinder that was the problem but a problem with the pin of the clutch assembly sticking? He said it's not covered under warranty but I don't even know if there's any truth to anything he just told me..

have you tried to change the clutch fluid? Mine was murky with rust (shows that there was water in the system) and was sticking. Anyways, I changed it out and I can actually power shift now with no issues. before, I was grinding the gears or was locked out.
Just a little fyi. Btw, keep ur clutch fluid changed. The dust from the clutch can seep into the lines. check at every other fuel fill up.
