350z4life

I have an 06 model 350z touring. I need help with 2 questions. I had my clutch replaced at 22k and i think it was because i was doing burnouts but heres the prob. I had an 03 and did burnouts which was also a touring and never had a problem. anywayz below are my questions:

1) When I engage first gear and slam my accelerator(traction off) when my car hits 4500rpm it locks up and the clutch pedal does NOT come back up all the way and even if I change gears the RPM stays and my car goes nowhere. what is happening. I need to know whats going on, I was thinkng that its the clutch calbe that cant handle the load or that the factory one is faulty but I dont know what to do.

2) When I turn my steering wheel I hear a loud clicking sound(thought it was my ball bearings in steering wheel) but it also happens when I apply the brakes.

no its not your driving my friend i have a 07 350z and at 2k the clutch started to get stuck at the bottom so i kept taking it to the dealer and they kept saying its fine nothing wrong so i blew it on purposae and they replaced it, with the fly wheel and slave cylinder and it drove good untill now its starting to get stuck at the bottom again when i punch it first gear and just tears through the gears as if im in nuetrul.. so what im going to do is take it to them and convince them to change it but replace it with an aftermarket with the same value i dont know if ur dealer will do it like that but mine they are really cool and kinda like friends.,.. yea but its a weak clutch on these cars and should make a recall on them

I have had my Z for a year and never been happy with the clutch. I companined that it would not slide into 2nd and 3rd smoothly... "sorry", they said, "dont think it's that bad". Whaaaaa! Anyway, it gets progressively worse until they admist it may be the thrust bearing... so a new clutch is dropped in at 6500 miles.

2 months later I get a service and say I am still not happy with the transmission and... why does the clutch pedal click half way through pushing it down... "Ahh sir that is characteristic of these cars, try this used vehicle, see its the same... " and they were right! But I tried the showroom vehicle and it didn't do it!

The clicking noise if really getting on my t**s, I think I may need locked up shortly. Please tell me others experience this problem and if it normal? I may have to burn this vehicle as I have it as a company car and hate it!

listen do this,,,, go to the dealer and check their recalls on it because mine just got placed again because i did some digging and found a recall on the slave cylinder assembly kit and now its like a champ.lol but dont let down cause thats their defense and i used to sit outside the dealersship all day and complain because its not a small investment to put behind your back and forget about it, what year is yours???? good luck dude.......
