Default csc failure? not sure?

So I was driving one day and the clutch went out and had no pressure. So I drained the fluid and replaced it got all the air out. Went back to normal for about a week then same thing happened, so I replaced the Master Cylinder and it has been good for about a month. Now it is going out again slowly I can just tell. It is in and out though, so I'm not sure if it is the CSC? I honestly don't want to replace it because it will cost easily 1000$. Anyone have any advice I'm just at a stand still right now.

Thanks

putting gtr fluid will prolong it some, but eventually you'll just have to replace it. zspeed or z1 motorsports.

yeah bro, you're using band-aids to fix a bigger problem, just get you the aftermarket stuff then charge the labor on your credit card.. so you can be stress free.

Hi,

Wondering if it's been confirmed Nissan has upgraded the CSC or not.

My failure to report:
Sport package 2015
Miles - 10500

Symptoms: Spongy pedal not returning
Diagnosis: CSC failure. Took to dealer who was going to put in the GTR fluid to resolve spongy pedal. Lead tech put car on lift and found clutch fluid in tranny bellhousing from leaking CSC. Tech found fluid was trashing clutch.

Major Parts Replaced:
-CSC
-Clutch disc
-Clutch pressure plate

~$1800 in warranty repair. Dealer returned car in one day; was hassle free repair through service advisor Patrick at Nationwide in Baltimore.

How hard do you drive the car? Just curious. Did they put in another stock CSC? You know what that means :-)

I'm replacing mine this Friday with Zspeed CMAK external release, and hopefully drive worry free in that respect.

It was an easy repair because you were within your 3year/36k warranty... once you get outside of that, you'll be on your own.
