CSC Failure New Owner

Hate to be that guy: You're gonna want an aftermarket setup altogether.

If your car is under warranty, I'd try to go that route. But you bought it from an Acura dealer. Some Nissan dealers would understand the situation. In the grand scheme of things, though, this is just a band-aid at best...and maybe an expensive one.

My used 2013 ended warranty in March (figures, that's why he sold it lol). To replace JUST the CSC — yes, the garbo OEM CSC — they wanted nearly as much as I paid to get the ZSpeed unit, a new master, better fluid, and new clutch and lighter flywheel, on top of labor at a specialist. And really, you'd need to replace the master regardless of whatever new CSC you swap in. So if you're gonna spend on that, you end up realizing the full plunge is the only way to go while the transmission is dropped, otherwise you're paying double for labor in the long run — and I strongly insist driveability is way better once you upgrade from OEM.

It sucks because Nissan never took care of this even 4 years after original production, but in the bottom-line scope: if you did your research on this car, this is like the first thing you'd expect; and by nature, it could happen at any time.
