How many of you have the original csc?

Dwight Frye · 11-06-2015, 04:39 PM

I am the original owner of my '09. Have the original CSC, just turned over 55,000 miles. No problems with the clutch. Keeping my fingers crossed.

its sad that nissan will not recall the z34 and get this replaced!

90 ST · 11-16-2015, 06:11 PM

They wont ever do a recall at this point on it, cause
A they would have to fix everyone's MT car.
B they would have to reimburse everyone that has paid out of pocket to have it done, some more then once...

Lets just hope they fix the problem with the next one

This has been on my mind lately since...2013 - now 30 months old/62,k miles. So far book scheduled maintenance. Daily spirited driven.

Inspector71 · 11-30-2015, 11:15 AM

I have a 2015 with 3015 miles and may be driving from Missouri to Texas. Hope this does not go out. At 36K miles, when the warranty expires, I am getting the aftermarket fix

KatmanII · 09-28-2016, 03:00 PM

2014 with 20k miles so far on the OEM CSC. Running an RJM pedal set up to minimize over travel. Oil cooler and fully insulated clutch hydro lines help keep clutch fluid cooler. Original fluid is still pristine.

Kzonts · 11-30-2015, 01:36 PM

2015 Sport with close to 12k... No issues yet.

The top four causes of seal failure in hydraulic cylinders

It's the seal that leaks, there are many things that can cause seal failure. So the only ones we can affect, can't prevent improper assembly, are the following.

Hydraulic system contamination. Inspect your fluid often, does it look black or discolored? Then you should probably have it changed.

Heat degradation. Making sure your clutch fluid line isn't too close to an aftermarket cat or test pipe. Unfortunately the CSC itself is fixed right in a very hot area.

I'm at 123,000 miles on the original csc and it feels fair so far. No need to change it yet, but when I have the the money I will.

Z370Z011 · 12-11-2015, 09:29 PM

Mine went out twice lol... took it to Nissan, didn't even make it out of the dealership before the new one went out again.

2011 model, went out at 45k
