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

johnwiki · 04-30-2015, 03:13 PM

Sorry to hear that. Mine failed at about 60,000. And I would be careful driving it. When mine went out I couldnt really get it into gear. After it sat all day I got a little pressure back and was able to drive it to the dealership (roughly 10 is miles away).

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but my clutch failed out on me again. This time they said they called the nissan tech line and they are replacing the line that goes between the slave and master cylinders (clutchline) then theyre going to bleed and see what happens. Anyone else have a similar story?

Sounds like typical dealer

Was the CMC replaced the last time they did the CSC? If not, that likely your culprit. If so, one or the other may have failed again. It wouldn't be the first time.

Yup. Apparently our CMC are a one use item. Drop the tranny and have to drain the system and it's basically trash.

This is the third time its been to the dealer. The first time was for the CSC and they didnt replace the CMC. the second time was like 8 months later for the CMC and they replaced that first, said it wasnt holding pressure right, then replaced the CSC again and said it was being right but they bled the system and it was good. A month later (last sunday) the clutch bottomed out on me again and now theyre replacing the clutchline.

Which dealer has been doing the work and was all three attempts covered under warranty? You should pick up the Zspeed HD csc and a new cmc.

The dealer is Mossy Nissan Kearny Messa, and I only paid for the initial replace of the parts, so one slave and one master. After that whatever they replace is covered under their parts warranty. And they arent charging me for the clutchline.
