This really sucks big time. I wish I had lots of disposable income to hire lawyers, all kind of media including articles in the top 10 car magazines, TV, radio, newspapers and propaganda about this sh*t.

Sorry and rant over.

Yeah, gonna go ahead and replace the clutch and CSC. Still waiting on them to give me a quote on what they've done so far and parts they want to order. If I can find them cheaper he said do it. Gonna order the Zspeed tomorrow. He also has some neat heat-restraining kevlar wrap we're going to lock down around the pipes instead of buying the 40$ braided line for the CSC.

That's the most non-meaningful letter ever.

I think that is Nissans way of covering their arse with the ability to show a papertrail of contacts.

Just curious, as I check my fluids on a regular basis. How many of you had the CSC failure when your trans fluid was clear?

Mine was clear in reservoir at time of failure. But when I went to bleed CLUTCH hydraulics under car black fluid with black particles came out. When the CSC or CMC breaks its best to replace both parts & flush system to get any residual gunk out, just my opinion. I took advise from many others, & upgraded to a HD CSC and currently use GTR Fluid. I did replace CMC, clutch line, added new ACT Performance CLUTCH kit & ACT Streetlite Flywheel but that was done to improve performance & take advantage of down time due to broken CSC.

KoolKarmaJoe, Mahalo for the info. I guess when it comes to the CSC, clear fluid doesn't mean much, when it wants to go it just goes.
