CSC Symptoms but Stealership said clutch went.. scammed?

At best, it's a band-aid fix of a more serious problem that will get you a few extra miles out of it. Losing pressure again after bleeding is to be expected.

The dealership replacing your clutch probably WILL fix the problem - but only if they get a new slave cylinder in there as part of the fix. As for actually needing a new clutch, I've heard that if the slave leaks fluid on the friction disk, that can necessitate replacement. I can't say I've experienced that personally though.

Tl;dr - you're being scammed.

Other than that, there is no "clutch spring".

The only spring i can think of are the springs on the actual friction plate. Or the diaphragm "spring". I told whoever i talked to in Nissan customer service that he's saying a spring broke on the clutch but i know enough to know thats bs. Still waiting for this call... should be an interesting conversation.
