So I was pulling out of dunkin donuts today and noticed my clutch pedal lost a ton of it's resistance. The car shifted fine but the clutch pedal had almost no resistance down to the friction point. Actually it seemed the friction point was closer to the floor. Than after a little while of driving it felt fine and was back to normal. Could this be an indication of the csc failing? I'll also add I have a 2012 purchased in march of 2012, ~36k miles. No tracking or anything like that.

Right before I pulled away I actually did kinda slam/push the clutch in really hard and fast because I had to stop quickly. Could that have caused it also? It feels perfectly fine today, haven't had problems since.

You have a master cylinder dying, If the slave goes it doesn't "kinda" go it just blows out. The Master is leaking internally and bypassing the seals and is why the pedal is acting weird.

We are currently testing our new Clutch Master Cylinder for the 370Z and G37 to prevent this problem in the future.

Hmm I'll have them check in a month or so next time I'm in for service
