2009 Nissan 370Z Complaints

TRYING TO START MY 2009 370Z APPROX 35K MILES, I HAVE TO PUSH THE START BUTTON 2-7 TIMES TO GET THE CAR TO START. CHECKED CLUTCH SWITCH POSITION, IT IS OKAY. OCCASIONALLY IT WILL START ON THE FIRST TIME PUSHING THE START BUTTON. GET IN CAR, DEPRESS CLUTCH WHEN LIGHT COMES ON, PUSH START BUTTON, ON LIGHTS, NO START , PUSH AGAIN ACCESS LIGHT ON, NOTHING, AGAIN OFF LIGHT, PUSH AGAIN, AND SO ON UNTIL STARTS. DEALER HAD NO ANSWERS. REPLACED BATTERY IN BOTH KEYS, NO DIFFERENCE. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE A COUPLE TIMES AFTER STALLING IN TRAFFIC.

AT AROUND THE MD BORDER, WHEN DRIVING HOME TO NJ FROM TN, THE CLUTCH STUCK TO THE FLOOR. I COULDN'T CHANGE OUT OF 6TH GEAR, SO I HAD TO DRIVE FROM THAT POINT WITHOUT SLOWING ENOUGH TO HAVE TO CHANGE GEARS OR STOPPING. AFTER I GOT OFF AT MY EXIT AND HIT A STOP LIGHT, I FORCED IT OUT OF 6TH GEAR BEFORE IT STALLED, THEN PUMPED THE CLUTCH (PRESSING IT THEN LIFTING IT BACK UP WITH MY FOOT) UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO 1ST THEN 3RD GEAR AND I DROVE IT MOST OF THE WAY TO CHERRY HILL NISSAN IN 3RD GEAR. AT THE LIGHT NEXT TO THE DEALERSHIP, PUMPED THE CLUTCH UNTIL I GOT IT INTO FIRST GEAR AND COULD NOT CHANGE GEARS ANYMORE. I HAD TO DRIVE THE CAR INTO A PARKING SPOT THEN STALL THE ENGINE BY HOLDING THE BRAKES. THE CLUTCH STICKING TO THE FLOOR HAS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW TIMES BEFORE, NORMALLY ON LONG DRIVES, BUT I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO PUMP THE CLUTCH A FEW TIMES AND IT WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENED AT 39574 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF GEAR WHIL...

THE CSC (CLUTCH SLAVE CYLINDER) FAILED WHEN I WAS DRIVING LEAVING ME WITHOUT ANY POWER. I CANT DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE AND I NEED TO GET THE TRANSMISSION DROPPED TO FIX IT.
