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

2011_6Spd · 10-12-2015, 06:45 PM

Just an update over the last 2 weeks the clutch has felt fine though I still question what caused the loss in hydraulic pressure in a sealed system with no leaks.

Boiling the clutch fluid will do it. The fluid runs through an uninsulated rubber hose by the driver-side exhaust downpipe. It's easy to boil, especially DOT3.

Nismos should use gtr fluid but you never know...... I had my csc replaced but my shifter slid too far to the right. Im at the dealer now and they asked me to drive another z to compare i said okay but i know mines off. This z has 6 miles. I made it 1/4 mile and felt clutch pressure go. I told the salesman its going im turning around. 6 miles 2016 370z touring has a failure.

That is unacceptable!

I don't know how this is not a recall because it's very unsafe!
