Normal driving in air temperatures above 80 degrees. Failure in the clutch petal pressure- unable to disengage the clutch and shift gears. Had fluid flushed however this did not solve the issue and so the master and slave cylinder were replaced as recommended by manufacturer. One year later the issue returns, fluid was flushed and replaced with a high grade clutch fluid (dot 4) however still did not solve issue. Master and slave will be replaced again.

The clutch pedal on my 2002 Nissan Altima 3. 5se inexplicably and without warning, falls to the floor and becomes inoperable while driving. This happens intermittently, especially during 'stop-and-go' traffic. The pedal simply does not return to its normal position. It is impossible to replicate the symptoms for my mechanic, who gave the clutch a clean bill of health. Once it failed me at 60 mph!!.

Clutch was noisy. Clutch began slipping at 30k miles. Drove vehicle to the dealership. Paid over $700 for new clutch. Discovered there is a service bulletin on this vehicle for a replacement clutch with updated friction material. Was wrongfully advised by dealership that the clutch needed replacement due to poor driving habits.
Shifting from 5th gear to 4th gear and clutch pedal stay in the floor. Clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing and flywheel failed.
Clutch assembly mismatched. Took 3 weeks to get part, only 3,000 miles old. Still hard down shifting 5-4 & 2-1gears.
