Not to mention the fluid level is rather low! You can clearly see what clean fluid should look like comparing the brake fluid bottle right next to it. Nissan...

I'd gladly kick in $500.00 to rent a booth to be displayed at Annual Z DAY that puts forth information of the horrible Nissan CSC issues as well as other "weak" power train problems that plague the Z.

And this is how it looked after I got them to finally flush it. Notice the black deposits at the bottom? I pointed that out to them as not normal, but they argued that it was. I got them to flush it a second time however after some pleading. Not sure where the deposit came from, as the removed CSC looked to be in pretty good shape and hadn't shown any deformation.

Mine was really dark and had small chunks of the black stuff at the bottom too. I used a syringe bulb to get the dirty stuff and fluid out, I should have taken some pictures but I was in a hurry.
