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

Misnomer · 06-01-2015, 12:32 PM

I talked to the shop manager on Saturday, and the out-the-door estimate is now $3000. *sigh* (That's all I have for this repair, so let's hope there are no complications once the work starts!!) He assured me that the kit is comprehensive, heavy duty, and the same kind of clutch I currently have, and he said he'd pay for 2-day shipping. He's supposed to order it today and call me to (a) confirm the expected delivery date and (b) tell me the warranty info. If I still haven't heard anything by 2pm I'll call them.

I'd put a hold on that order. You can piece together each item from our vendors and put a chunk of that money back in your pockets. $3,000 is a little too much IMO.

Maybe I am getting screwed (paying the standard "I don't know much about cars" premium), but I made the best decision I could. :shrugs: I'm living with it, plus it's too late for any changes now. Assuming the kit gets delivered tomorrow I'll have my car back NLT Thursday, and at this point that's all I care about.

Because it's not: if you go back and read again, the out-the-door quote went from $2500 to $3000. The kit quote went from $1600 to $1800, because apparently the first one wasn't comprehensive (whatever). More parts = more labor, so an additional $500 all told. Depressing, but it didn't feel outrageous.

The guy also said this kit is my only option if I want the car done any time soon: he said everywhere else they called, the parts were out of stock until mid-June.

Oh dude, I'm sorry.
