Re: Slight noise just before clutch finally released in reverse?
Difficult to know exactly what conditions you are talking about but doesn't sound normal.
Do you mean as you lift the clutch pedal on take off there is a noise at the pick up point?
When you say you can feel it, where can you feel it? Through the whole car or just the clutch pedal?

Re:
You can hear it through the car, not super loud, slight but is audible. Not at the pickup point, just before it, say the clutch is released about 80%. So I am starting to reverse uphill out of the drive, you slowly start to reverse, move back about 15 feet, tight to get out so you cant go fast, and just before final release, 80% maybe 90% released, your about to let it go and there is a slight knock. Not as you let it go but before that point. Im doing it smoothly too, no sudden clutch jerk or release. Ill be spewing if its a problem, only had this 5 days. Thanks for the quick reply too.

Re: Slight noise just before clutch finally released in reverse?
So you are riding the clutch for about 15 feet?
These things have a dual mass flywheel (DMF). Basically 2 plates held together by a bunch of springs. They are designed to reduce vibrations. It could be just the flywheel snapping back into position. If so just keep an eye on it. If the noise gets worse or the driving feels different get back to Nissan ASAP.
In the meantime, try not to ride the clutch. You will wear it out way before it's time.
Just FYI: My flywheel failed at 28,000km and the clutch was still near new. Nissan wouldn't cover the replacement. The aftermarket clutch/flywheel I had installed had about 45,000km on it when I traded the car and it was still perfect. In my opinion the DMFs installed from the factory are too weak for the car, in particular if you tow.

Re: Slight noise just before clutch finally released in reverse?
Yeah like I said keep an eye on it. Sounds like it's getting worse/more consistent so definitely worth having a look at. Hopefully it's a simple fix although I wouldn't be surprised if your flywheel has separated (where the sprig between the 2 plates of the DMF fail).

Re:
The window auto up bug happened because they disconnected the battery, simply put down the window and then hold the switch up as the window goes up for I think it is 20 seconds and it will fix itself.
Here is the thread.
Don't be afraid to use the search function at the top of the page, just about everything has already been covered.
