I think this defect would have to have caused death or serious bodily harm due to this defect in order for that to happen, it would have to be a BIG problem, not one instance here and another instance there.

Not saying this issue isn't big, because it is, but those issues that you heard about on the news were huge.. The toyota accelerator problem, the GM ignition problem, these were BIG issues.

MagmaRed370z · 07-30-2015, 07:32 PM

I think that the is a ratio or a percentage for this class action to work. I am not a lawyer but it makes sense.

imagine stopping at a railroad crossing and at the middle of the crossing your clutch pedal doesn't work.

or making a right at a busy intersection and then your car doesn't go.

Or getting thru a bad part of town and then you are stranded in there and cant do anything...

Or you could get killed crossing the parking lot....

Ok guys I'm hoping someone can answer this quick question ASAP I'm taking my car in to get the sinking clutch fixed and I don't want to get played hah.

Does anyone know how long switching out the CSC takes, difficulty and usually how much that job costs? Just labor please let me know thank you!!

At a local shop that does a lot of Z work I was quoted $1800 including the new CSC and replacing the clutch/pressure plate.

I figured it would be a 7-8 hour thing, but it took me and a friend who owns a shop about 3 hours, not using any online guides or even the service manual and cost the price of the new CSC and a few packs of beer.

Any pointers? I'm tackling this soon

JARblue · 08-01-2015, 10:18 AM

Labor just to drop the transmission is typically 6-8 hours by the book. Figure $80-120/hr depending on your area's shop rates.

After that the actual replacement of parts is easy, but they'll probably find something to tack on an extra hour or two. Don't forget to include the cost of parts.

FairladyZ40th · 08-01-2015, 11:22 AM

Dayum :/ alright then thank you for the 411 haha will definitely look into a mechanics class

Basically if you take it to the dealer, you're more likely than not going to get screwed, if you take it to a reputable shop, you're likely going to get better parts (i.e.. Zspeed's or Z1's(CSC), and the actual labor at a lower price than the dealer.
