CSC Symptoms but Stealership said clutch went.. scammed?

Jhofbauer94

Did it come with new lines? Are they steel braided? Cant find info on that.. thanks for the input. Thats the one im leaning towards!

JLarson

Came with new lines, but not steel braided (unless you ask for steel braided - couple extra bucks).

Gotcha. Thanks man!

I'm a little iffy about putting another internal in considering youd have to drop the tranny anytime something went wrong with it. The less internal parts the better imo. But well see.. i do like the idea of not having to adjust every 10k miles but from what i hear, its relatively painless.

Hey OP, when you replace your CSC, make sure you replace you CMC at the same time.. they both must be replaced. AND if you're going to replace your CSC, you may want to think about maybe upgrading your clutch and flywheel since your transmission is already dropped and open.. perfect chance to get something better than OEM. Just my .02 cents...

Just an FYI, I bought my Z new, and didnt want to take any chances, I replaced my CSC at 7k miles. Upgraded the clutch and flywheel too.

Yeah, i have both the Zspeed CMAK and the CMC in the cart right now. Was also considering getting a clutch/flywheel combo from Z1 but im not familiar with any of them so not sure yet. But if i can get Nissan to fix my car for free(which im not counting on), im not sure I'd really want to have to drop money on a new clutch/flywheel if the clutch was fine on it. Especially if they put a new one in since "the spring broke and i need a new clutch and flywheel". But we'll see whenever corporate calls me back today. But smart move! If I'd known about this sooner, id have gotten it done when i bought it too!

If I were going to have this work done, I wouldn't have your dealer do it.. I'd take it to a reputable shop.

The ONLY way the dealer would touch anything else on my car is if they're doing it for free since they misdiagnosed and are trying to force me to have a new clutch/flywheel installed after it was "perfect" when they test drove it and i paid. But like i said, i doubt my claim with work out in my favor. IF they do fix it, ill take it to a different shop to get the CMAK and CMC (a friend directed me to another one im already discussing the situation to). But if they screw me, im taking it to the other shop to have the CMAK AND CMC installed. So either way, its going there. Dealership will just (hopefully) get it back up and running before then.

If you caught the slave early in the game youll be fine without replacing the clutch. Thats what i did. Ive been fine since. The hd slave works wonders, thats what i did again lol. I went a step further and added the rjm clutch pedal and master cylinder and the car is a blast and worry free now! And i do tons of city driving and works like a champ!.

Yeah the day it happen i stopped driving it and it sat until i brought it to them. But cant wait to drive my damn car again..

It happens bro. Mine went on my birthday! I didnt wanna do it at the time, so i paid one of my boys $400 bucks to have new hd clutch slave, new clutch master and a b&m short throw installed. Car was great, then after a year the oem clutch master cylinder went on me, put a napa luke one in and sure enough that went after a year. Until i put a rjm one in. So far so good! FYI the short throw was my birthday present

Wish i had a boy that'd do it for $400 lol i dont trust anyone anymore. I had a "friend of a friend" detail my paint for me to get swirls out and he destroyed my paint. Looks like its covered in tooth paste because he buffed it without cleaning it(my guess anyway). Denied everything and i was beat. Now this lol my life.

JLarson

Look up the group VQ Philly on Facebook and tell them Josh Larson sent you. Once in, message Joey Mac and ask him if he can do your clutch. He should quote you around $400 for it. You'd need to get to his location (West Chester, PA), but he did an awesome job for me.

Update for anyone who'd read this.. brought my 370 to another mechanic and he said they never even checked the clutch and that it was working perfectly. Just the csc like i said. He told me he wouldnt charge extra labor if i wanted to upgrade clutch and flywheel since its already open so i did. Dealership dodged me for a few weeks when i called them about the tech that lied about my clutch having a "broken spring". I got fed up and made a REALLY bad review explaining what happened to me and how bad they were about it. They called me an hour later and had a refund ready for me the next day... guess now they have time for me. BUT told me i had to take the review down to get my refund. So thats where im at now lol thanks again for your replies back when i posted this.

Take the review down, cash the check, repost the review. They want to be shady, then **** them.
