I can only imagine driving down a highway then you try to shift when the clutch doesn't come back up. So now you are stuck in gear correct? Do you just pull to the shoulder and coast until the engine drops low enough in RPM to stall? I'm a little confused.

You won't have any clutch release, So yes it will be stuck in gear.

A Manual trans is easy enough to pull out of gear to N while moving, Just rest the rpm at a neutral speed where there is as little load on the drive train as possible and pull into N . Or just drive to the closest off ramp and do it there. If you are good enough with a manual trans you can drive the car without the clutch really.

That's progress. If there's a favorable resolution hopefully it'll apply to the G cars as well.

I hope this goes somewhere before I end up having to fix mine :D

Following this. Long road ahead but it's a start. I hope this case builds up and get more attention. Time to hit them where it hurts, their pockets!

Me too, considering that they've known about it for so long you'd think that someone would've sued them sooner. Oh well, hope they get raked over the coals for this.

Neither. It's coming out of your pocket.

I bit the bullet, I just had my CSC replaced with a ZSpeed CMAK kit and performed at The Little Speed Shop in Rochester while I was visiting my cousin on vacation. I had the parts/fluids over-nighted to TLSS. Was scared shiteless that the thing was going to fail on me on the trip considering the car had already 46k and was about to drive 1500 miles roundtrip.

How's the Cmak working out for you?

I am planning on buying that too and just keeping it for when the time comes. What did the cost of install run you?

It's worked out fantastically! The pedal engagement feels far more direct than the OEM and the point at which the clutch engages is about 40-50% of release versus the 75-80% that it was at before. Very happy with my results!

I'll put it to you this way, ALOT. If you can wrench, I'd suggest doing it yourself but know it will take you some time to do it without a lift. I believe the install time is something like 7ish hours not including the Master Cylinder install.

I myself did it for numerous reasons 1) I don't wrench. It's not that I can't, it's that I get too frustrated far too easily(like tossing stuff mad) and I find paying someone else to do it is alot better for my health, lol. 2) The convenience of having it done while I was on vacation just made alot of sense considering my round trip mileage on top of the vehicles actual ODO mileage.

I actually did a write up of the overall experience over in General Discussions.

Does it make any sense to continue keeping track of owners with CSC/Clutch issues? It's pretty obvious the OEM CSC is a major weak link followed by the master cylinder. I'm not as active on the forums anymore, and I still get PM from owners wanting to be added to the list.

With the new class action suit that's ongoing, potentially it could make sense.
