As a recent new owner of a 370Z I have a burning question that i believe you all could answer regarding clutch noise. I have been doing some research and it seems that many owners are having similar noises involved with shifting their cars from 1st to 2nd gear. I purchased this car with about 35 miles on it and was surprised to hear this sound when driving off the lot.

I only hear the sound on first to second when depressing the clutch. Three to for distinct clunk sound that are more intense with the more revs at the time of the gear change. If this is a common occurrence please let me know and I can sleep a bit easier.

Disclaimer: this is not my video, just one of the only videos online that I could find with the same noise I am experiencing.
