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

This might be the issue with my clutch!

On Sunday, after an hour of highway driving, at ~60MPH I hit both the clutch and brake pedals hard to avoid a BMW that suddenly wanted to be where I was. The next time I needed the clutch (a few seconds later), the pedal went to the floor and stuck there. Luckily I was able to pull to the shoulder and get it unstuck, but ever since it just hasn't felt right. Today I decided to get it checked out: I have a service appointment for Thursday morning (I need the car tomorrow), but in the meantime I thought I'd come here in case anyone had an idea of what might have happened.

I don't think my car is under warranty anymore: it's a 40th, so it's four years old (though it only has 20,000 miles on it). I didn't read all 27 pages of this thread, so I don't know if cost has been discussed, but I'm worried about it being an expensive fix. Mostly I'm worried about this becoming a recurring problem. Meh.
