They've already told you your CSC wasnt covered under warranty (which is utterly ridiculous) and once it fails, they'll only want to replace it with another sh1tty oem one.. so if I were you, I'd be looking for a shop that will install an aftermarket one.. do it now while you're still on the road.

good luck bro.

Thanks man. I need to think about it cause it's not a cheap fix. I love z but hate Nissan quality...

There has been an ongoing problem with the CSC, is there a comparison thread on aftermarket CSC from various manufacturers ? I'm in two minds whether to purchase another CSC and MC just in case the replaced set conks out without any warning. All in replacement was $383. So it was a bearable cost.

I suppose that's just the parts cost? You didn't count the labor, did you?

ZSpeed > Z1 when it comes to aftermarket CSC replacement options. ZSpeed also offers both an internal HD CSC or an external, self-adjusting delete kit. Just call up Joe at ZSpeed and he will answer any questions you might have.

Yeah the labor alone will cost you 2 to 3 times the cost of the parts..

geddit · 09-15-2017, 11:09 PM

The cost of CSC inclusive of labour was $383. It just take them about 3 hours to drop the transmission and replace the CSC.

Is this still an issue on the new models? I see people are still having problems, but it appears to still be 11-13 year models. Has this been addressed or is it still only a matter of time on my '17? I'm at 5700 and some change, brand new.

Yes. Unfortunately it's still an issue.

Alright, I'll get a delete kit on the way. May go ahead and order a lightweight flywheel and get that done while they're in there. I wish Nissan would cover doing this prior to failure as a preventative measure, or obviously just fix the thing at the factory.

Re-engineer a bad part from the factory? Is this your first Nissan?

Do the lightweight flywheel. The response is awesome and it sounds pretty cool too.

Haha yeah, it is. I love it, though.

Got a '14 with about 56k on the ODO. Mine just died as I pulled into the office. Going to have it towed and inspected at the stealership in the morning.
