It looks similar to the OEM CSC where the slave is built into the housing.
Why did you go to a different shop? Was the first go around enough to tarnish your trust in them?
Maybe the pressure plate that comes in the Z1 kit and the JWT CSC aren't playing nice with each other?

small local shop, not a performance shop. Just a regular mechanic
Chose a different shop for the flush/clutch line because trust was shattered.

If the parts aren't compatible, that makes sense. But why the dirty fluid and loss of fluid too? That's two separate problems

sounds like I could've chose a wrong combo of parts and the shop didn't properly flush/get containments out of the system the first time?

I chose the parts. Now I have my 2nd order of parts for the 2nd installation and have decided to go with ZSpeed CSC Delete, Their clutch kit, and OEM CMC

I will be reinstalling all parts myself (Goodluck me). Parts are ready, I am not. Before I dive in, I'm wondering if I should just swap the CMC+Flush fluid and hope it works, or not bother and just do the entire reinstall again myself?
