Known issues on the 2006 350Z. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers aftermarket ZF replacement clutch kits (part number K70358-01) shipped between September 2010 and March 2011: the kits contain an oversized clutch disc, and a vehicle fitted with one can move unintentionally on initial start-up if the driver doesn't follow the installation instructions and use the service brakes with the hand brake released, risking a crash or injury to bystanders. Owners have filed 53 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind the clutch and drivetrain are here.

Whether you're swapping in a correct clutch kit, chasing a driveline concern, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the right specification for your 2006 350Z.
