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

pbs370z · 06-24-2015, 01:15 PM

I filed my CSC Failure complaint here: (easy, only took about 5 mins)

https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/Vehicl...nt/index.xhtml Conf. No. (ODI) 10726352

I know this has been said before, but if there's any chance of forcing Nissan to take responsibility for this problem then a lot of us are going to have to complain where it could do some good.

My symptoms were: Clutch pedal occasionally sticking to floor on a warm day with engine hot and running hard. It never did leak fluid and I could pop the clutch pedal back up easily with my toe. It would work normally after it cooled a bit.

Fix: Installed the Zspeed HD CSC improved slave cylinder (along with a whole new clutch 'n flywheel).

P.S. Thanks BamBam !

I'm an idiot thinking they mighta fixed it by now and if not the car is low mileage. Boy was I wrong FML Now I'm driving around paranoid as fk

If you haven't done so, please take a few minutes to write a complaint on NHTSA via the link I pmed to you. It's our only way of getting nissan to step up and fix this.
