wow. u babii that car. mines a 2010 only 4 or 5 months old and has 6,100 miles already! hope it IS covered though. wonder if i had my exhaust already if they somehow coulda made a excuse not to cover it blaming it on the exhaust. lmfao!

This is very sad news, hopefully it works out for you. So it looks like the clutch master cylinder is the weakpoint but I'm sure we'll find an aftermarket replacement soon enough.

was this the slave or the master cylinder? Almost all the recorded failures so far have been the concentric slave cylinder or CSC i don't think anyone has had a master fail.

lllll210lllll 07-24-2010 02:15 PM

it was master cylinder. was fixed... covered by warranty. also... dealer fixed dent and buffed out scratch. came out just like new. those asses... :facepalm:

Just Curious, sometimes I have a Ca-chunk sound when I'm shifting into second gear. It has never done this before. Only 750 miles on the Z,did it first thing in the morning and this car has not been driven hard. I'm follow break in procedures. It will come and go, sometimes it s very smooth and no clunk feeling, almost like clutch isn't disengaging all the way. Its only from first to second so far, I can down shift from third to second or continue to upshift with no other problems. Anybody else have similar situation?

cruzmisl 07-26-2010 02:02 PM

That's the very common "clunk" noise.

Try reving past 3-3.5k RPM and pushing in the clutch and shift. Either that or slowly disengage the clutch when you're at lower RPMs.

Any updates on a company making a good aftermarket CSC yet?

jadeb0x 07-27-2010 09:32 PM

i think this just happened to me, it's been hot in Atlanta. my clutch has to be pressed in all the way to shift. i have an exhaust and test pipes, i hope they don't pull that my warranty is voided.

LateralG'z 07-27-2010 09:41 PM

Sorry to hear of your bad luck. Dont let em pull that crap, they are totally unrelated issues
