EzDz · 09-20-2015, 07:28 PM

I dont know if its a record but 1200 miles.... clutch pedal had no pressure to the engage point within 2 mile the clutch would no longer engage and is pinned to the floor, no fluid either. All just **** the bed in a 6 mile trip. Dropped it off at the dealer because its sunday

Hoping for a dealer fix and then z1s fix with a new flywheel....

That's a lot of clutch failure and some with basically no miles before they blow out. Crazy!!

These cars are designed and built to drive so none of the early failures make any sense at all.

All, please refer to Sticky: (Official) 370Z Clutch Pressure (CSC) Failures. Contact me or another volunteer to get added to the list. I don't mind looking for more volunteers to get write access to the file.

[EDIT] I can't access the file right now. I think my workplace blocked or screwed up access to Google Drive. I updated the file with the latest entries. Not only am I keeping track of 370Z complaints, I also keep track of other models including the 350Z and G37 as well. So if the model isn't listed, I'm assuming it's the 370Z.

Still keep feeling the clutch pressure at 30-50 percent after I park the car and come back after a few hours.. Then, as I drive and pump the clutch a good amount of times I get full pressure back..

This is so annoying.. I feel like I'm gonna sit in it one day and it's just gonna give up or go out on the highway..

Really considering getting the Z1 kit.

Do you guys recommend replacing the CSC and CMC? Or just CSC?

Replace both at the same time! Or you're going to be paying twice for labor later down the line! The MC is only anoher ~100 for the part!

Wow Nissan is pathetic, it's scaring me because I had my previous 07 z replaced csc before it happened and a year later it have out. Mazda needs to come out with an RX9 if this happens to my 370z cause I'll be trading this in for it.

The clutch fluid that is now contaminated due to your failed CSC can compromise the CMC. Replace both, no question.
