Message	I think the Z is the perfect car to learn on! Or I should say - A rear wheel drive is the car to learn on. The first clutch job I did was on a transverse motor... Which was terrible. Less room to drop the trans. But I agree that it is a good point to start to get your hands dirty. Good luck
