CSC under warranty or not?

2011 Nismo#91

It all depends on the dealer and your persuasion skills. Some have gotten it replaced under the drive train warranty while others were not able to.

CSC isn't a wear item. The seals fail on the CSC causing the fluid the leak out. Seals are covered under the engine, transmission, and drivetrain sections of the 5 year warranty. If you ask enough people at Nissan I'm sure you'll find someone who will tell you pigs fly. In the end it is covered, they don't want to cover (pay for) it, so if they can get you to pay for it they will try.
