Loose clutch petal

Pedal pressure better today... That was exciting. Engagement point rose slightly.

No change. Clutch pressure all good so far with no change in fluid level.

Hate to be a **** and/or fear-monger, but the fact you have to be attentive of it kinda makes the point that you should act on the replacement as soon as possible.

When I got my Z, it was a little sooner than I expected because I wanted to be ready to do the cylinder and clutch work off the bat. The car was just too good of a deal.

But anyway, I remember being mad paranoid about failure after knowing how common/inevitable it is, and the nature of how it can spontaneously occur even as soon as rolling off the showroom floor. In the last week before I could finally get the job done, I had some sticky pedal instances. And before that, the car did experience a clutch fluid leak a few hundred miles before under the original owner.

Some shops were like "just wait until it fails". Lol yeah right. Like I'd want to get stranded on the road, pay for the tow, and added downtime vs. just getting it over with on a set day and less spending overall.

The Money is there and the problem is noted as it's inevitability is expected. You are fully understood and plans have already been made to replace. I plan on replacing just like the recommendations earlier in this thread. I live in California close to some amazing places and plan on utilizing them accordingly very soon. Heading to Modesto tomorrow we will see how it goes! I thought, due to the prevalence of this issue with the Z, that it would benefit the Z community to chronicle this endeavor. :-)

$3,380
I went ahead and replaced the whole thing
Guaranteed 3 years 50,000
I'll have it back Thursday

I took the car to San Fran the first Friday of this month to a meeting...
I got to Pleasanton and it went to the floor.
I was prepared
I continued to pump and pull the clutch off of the floor until I got there...
On the drive home same thing
Repeated the pumping and pulling off of the floor with moments of pressure in between...
Got it home
Replaced fluid
Got through about a week with pressure
Took it to the appointment this last Saturday
Pressure tested no good in both master and slave
Pedal on floor by now, completely failed
We will see Thursday!

So you're paying $3k out of pocket for all new oem parts? Sticking with an oem csc will just lead you right back to this same spot. You could have paid half for a better setup.
