Edmunds.com Knock the 6MT's Clutch - What's Your Take?
Edmunds.com Inside Line is knocking their long-term 2007 G35 sedan's clutch pedal complaining that the pedal travel is too long, too stiff and that the engagement point is too high and abrupt.
Are the Edmunds guys a bunch of wussies or do they not know how to drive a stick? OR, is there something wrong with their car?

it's nothing to worry about, it's just less forgiving than other cars, and a bit notchy but u'll get used to it

FOr those that have driven both - Is the sedan's '07 6mt clutch and shifter the same as that in the '04 coupe?
Also, they mention that the G37 gets a new, refined transmission. I'm wondering now, if it is the "new, refined" transmission from the '07 sedan or actually a much improved one.
Any thoughts?

prob not a skilled driver. i mean so what if you've been driving stick for a long time or what not. every car's clutch has a different feel to it.
driving the 6mt for G's is no walk in the park.
many times i get frustrated with it myself. not with the clutch petal, but the notchy shifter annoys the hell out of me. sometimes i want to grind it to make it feel pain but i remind myself it's not alive.
