I have a 1993 300zx N/A and i have to adjust the clutch pedal at least twice a month. It will lose its freeplay and my mechanic charges me around $30 to adjust it every time. He doesn't know what is wrong with it and im thinking i might need a new clutch. However, the clutch and flywheel were replaced about a year ago. help?

How is the master and slave cylinder. It could be possible you have either a leak(can be internal) or an air bubble in it.

Learn to adjust it yourself, actually easy to do, if you know what you are doing.

+1 to air in the line, either a bad clutch cylinder or bad connection that leaks air.

I'd have to check on both cylinders. I've also looked on how to adjust a clutch but haven't gotten much help online.
