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

The guy at the shop is also going to look around some more and see if he can find anything cheaper this morning. I need to get something ordered today, because I can't stand driving the rental and don't want to have it for another week.

At first I was like "there's no way a car with 28k miles needs a whole new clutch," but after reading Joe@ZSpeed's comment -- and noting that the ZSpeed site says, "We highly recommend the CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER be replaced along with the HD slave cylinder to prevent problems from worn/dirty original units. No warranty is offered if master cylinder is not replaced." -- maybe I should just have them replace the whole damn thing and be done with it.

I am so frustrated/annoyed/soon-to-be-poor...argh.
