Sticky: (Official) 370Z Clutch Pressure (CSC) Failures

Just got the back brief from folks at the dealership and they, in conjunction with Nissan regional I suppose, have decided to replace both master and slave cylinders. They said they found air in the system which caused the pedal to go limp at higher speeds/gears and once the air expanded it became an issue in the lower gears as well. That's my take on how they described it. Rather than guess which was the culprit that was allowing air in the system, they're replacing both. And that, my friends, is exactly what I thought they'd do prior to engaging.

Let's hope this is the last go around.

As a side note, I posed my earlier forum query to the mechanics at the dealership as well, I.E. "Why no stable final fix for such clutch failures." And they said the parts involved may have been upgraded along the way to compensate for earlier versions that had issues, but that they weren't always notified of such upgrades. That they would not have access to the older version of, say, the master cylinder and/or slave cylinder and would have to use the upgrade. I hope that makes sense.

We'll see, I get the car back tomorrow and will immediately take it out o' town to see how it responds in fifth and sixth gear.
