That's good news! Did you go for transmission flush & MOTUL Gear Oil also?

Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

I had a clutch failure at the end of a track day this past week. The clutch pedal literally dropped to the floor. I was stuck for 10 minutes, after which the pedal had lifted about an inch off the floor, allowing me to get in gear and make my way back to my spot in the paddock. After 20 minutes with the engine off, the clutch returned to normal. Fluid level was normal, so I suspect the clutch fluid had boiled after a long day on the track. I just put in an order for an insulated clutch line from ZSpeed...anyone have any experience with this line? I'll also replace the clutch fluid with Motul.

I am using the insulated line from ZSpeed. I've had it along with new HD CSC, CMC, ACT Clutch Kit, & new FLYWHEEL for about 2 weeks now. Completed 500 mile break-in of new clutch kit and so far have had no problems. I'm using GTR Fluid for clutch hydraulics & MOTUL Gear Fluid in transmission. It should be noted that I did not track or push it to the limits during break-in period. I'll start doing that in the upcoming weeks and post results.

UPDATE - KoolKarmaJoe - this is 2nd time CSC was replaced. Previous Z owner replaced it once; then I replaced it a 2nd time with a HD CSC at 64,000 miles. (Previous owner replaced it with the same OEM CSC)

Fixed my post... I wouldn't be surprised if mine is on it's 2nd CSC either.

This is my Z this guy is talking about after all

http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-p...59m402001.html

I knew of the thread before I pulled the trigger (I googled the vin), The transmission was replaced under warranty 5 years (15k miles) before I bought it...

I would think they did the transmission flush, as they did do the CSC which required them opening up the transmission. At this point Im not sure, this is why I cant stand handing my car over to shops. (you just never know)

It doesn't require opening up the transmission... When mine was done, they didn't drain the oil. Just unbolted and pulled it down. You can always ask your mechanic. My friend that did mine just did what was required and covered under warranty... I ended up bringing it back literally 2k miles later for the 30K service. :tiphat:

2012 Nismo with 21k first time that I know of
I bought the car with 18k

I know how you feel.

Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Interesting, I'm wondering if I should bite the bullet and replace the CSC/CMC as well. I don't have any problems with the clutch aside from the heat issue. Is there any difference in feel? I suppose it's hard to say because you also replaced the flywheel.

Cheers!

Mine felt fine up until it just let go , no real warning or anything

Big difference in the feel of the clutch with the lighter flywheel. Rev's much faster, quicker shifts that are much more smoother. Downshifting I've found it better to "Heel / Toe" (Brake & Rev).
