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

ohmikegod · 03-26-2014, 11:30 PM

Mine failed 2 days ago. Took it to the dealers, was covered under warranty. They replaced the master and slave cylinders, flushed my system and use whatever the GTR uses. Everything works great so far.

Out of curiosity, what happened when it failed? Did it come back after cooling down or no?

What dealership did you go to? Did they find internal/external leaking?
Is that what prompted the CSC & CMC to be replaced?

In my case, they only drained the system and put in the GTR brake fluid.
Their inspection couldn't find any internal or external leakage.

I still wish they would've replaced the CSC & CMC.
It's working fine just now, but I wonder for how long?
I'm still under the CPO warranty for another 70K or until 2017.

FYI, I got 8,000 miles out of the replacement CSC/CMC using GTR brake fluid. You may get more, or maybe less...there is no warning given and for sure, it will fail again!

The dealership called: they don't see anything wrong with the clutch, but they recommended replacing the fluid. They also recommended replacing the brake fluid. I said "sure" to both; can't hurt. It's not like the clutch doesn't work now, so I guess I'll just keep truckin' for the time being. If/when it happens again, though, I'll replace the CSC and CMC with aftermarket parts.
