I've owned a 03 350Z, Driven a 04 G35 with 40k miles and now own a 03 G35 with 50k miles and my current G has a significantly stiffer clutch than the previous G and 350z. There has to be some logical solution to this after 100s questions about stiff clutches and 100s of answers saying thats just the way it is. Yes, the easiest way is to drop $1k+ and get a new clutch but I dont think my clutch is going and shows no signs of slipping.

Are any of the below proven to relieve pressure on the clutch?

Adjusting the clevis pin on the clutch pedal. Has anyone else tried the method above?

Bleeding the lines?

BTW- As mentioned above, I've owned a 03 350Z and Driven my friends 04G35 plenty of times to know that this isnt normal. Also, I max squat 315lbs 2-3x so no, my legs are not weak.

 

It is called aging.

 

My 03 350Z didnt change to this extent after driving 30k miles.
