CSC replacement. Jwt clutch/flywheel
 

Hey so gonna pick your guys brain a bit. Im going to be installing my new jwt clutch flywheel kit this Sunday. Im sorta tight on money right now so here's my question with a bit of back story. My csc has not failed yet but around a month ago i was having this issue where on a occasion during cold start my z would make high pitched noise like something was spinning but not catching, after a few tries it would make a noise that seems like it finally caught but roughly. It has not that again for quite some time. So here are my questions: will putting in the new clutch and flywheel cause to the csc to fail? Can i wait sometime to change my csc? If i do change my csc will not changing the cmc cause the new csc to fail? I can currently purchase a new csc from the dealership for roughly $135, i would love to upgrade it to the zspeed hd csc but currently can't afford nor can i currently afford replacing my cmc. So guys what are your recommendations. I just spent around $2000 on my z :happydance: so that sorta put a dent in my funds :bowrofl: :mad:

Just spend the money and get the upgraded CSC, you'll hate yourself if you don't. Wait till you can buy then install. Labor hurts

:iagree:

Do not, under any circumstance, put an OEM csc in, especially with an upgraded clutch. If you can't afford the part, you sure as hell can't afford to pay to drop the tranny twice.

That's the issue right now, i have a place where i can put all that in myself with my friend who owns a shop so im not going to paying anything in labor, but i'm moving Tuesday to Houston so once i am over there i will no longer have that perk. Unfortunately im going to have to drive my car out there so i want to leave with everything installed. Should i install the new clutch and flywheel and buy the hd csc once i have the money and pay to get it installed? seems like that would be my only option right now instead of buying the oem csc.

You can whore yourself out ;)

Haha know of any woman looking for a young buck lmao? :rofl2:

Wait to replace the clutch till you can afford the hydraulics, Otherwise you may not make it to where you are going.

See, here's the thing- it's not just the fact that you will have to open up the trans again to replace the CSC. You'll have to, that's not in question. It's the other questions that go along with it. Did the car leave you stranded when the OEM CSC **** the bed? Did you have to pay for towing, etc? Did the CSC puke fluid all over the brand new clutch, ruining the friction material?

Don't bother swapping the clutch until you can afford to do the whole job.

I would agree with everyone else. Wait to to the swap until you can afford the CSC and CMC. Especially with a road trip happening right away. better to do the trip with a clutch that slips a little than be stranded in the middle of Texas with a bunch of cattle laughing at you and a blown CSC or CMC.

This!! OP, you can't afford parts, so you definitely can't afford to install the clutch on the cheap and then have the OEM CSC fail and potentially ruin your new clutch :twocents:
