Search for item 30620 in the 2nd pdf. That's the clutch slave. Never heard of a preferred Nissan warranty. Is this back by nissan or a third party dealer warranty?

Rather than taking their word for it, look over the terms of your warranty. If it's not in the exclusions, it should be covered.

Edit: I see you're in chicago, which dealer did you buy from?

edit2: Found this, http://www.nissanusa.com/content/dam...Powertrain.pdf

I think this is what you have, right?

Your dealer really needs to bat for you. The slave, while not an internal part of the manual trans, is none the less part of the transmission on a manual car. The MT car does not have a torque converter, vacuum modulator, etc.

Contact nissan NA and bitch about this. If it's not covered it should be clearly spelled out as a non covered item like the clutch friction disc is (item 8.2 in the pdf I linked above).

Everything you stated I have done. Roy from Nissan Consumer Affairs basically told me it isn't covered. I have a Nissan Security + warranty. It is the 3yr/36k powertrain preferred warranty. I'll post a copy of it here later. This contract that was sold to me by Ann Arbor Nissan. They charged me $1252 and never logged it into the system. When I tried to get the car serviced last year in Chicago they told me there wasn't a warranty. I got in touch with Nissan consumer affairs last year and they said they had straightened it out.The warranty shows up in the database, but nevertheless their reply was" Your warranty doesn't cover that". My first warranty claim is denied. I have no other recourse other than to go after the dealership for damages......which I'm beginning the process of.

You should just point Nissan USA to the CSC failure thread and SHOW them how ALL 370Z's with manual trannies have failed CSCs!!

My CSC and MSC failed at 41000 and same run around about not covered. Where exactly does it say these parts are not covered?

For me the money isn't the issue, my issue is that I bought the car used and made sure I still had warranty only to find out they never intended to honor the warranty. The powertrain warranty covers the transmission. The exclusion list doesn't name the MSC or the CSC or hell even the clutch or brakes.

Finally their reasoning is "my driving" but I all my driving is long road trips and stop and go traffic. Given this reason they said that maybe it was the previous owner in which case it still is not covered (aka maybe we sold you a broke car whoops). I'm still completely confused about how any driving level can damage a hydraulic system but that's besides the point. No where in the warranty are those parts excluded and their reasoning is overly convenient and general BS.

TLDR I'm calling a lawyer tomorrow that specializes in suing manufactures over warranties and sales contracts so we'll see how that works out.

Not sure how they wouldn't be successful. Looking at all the papers they gave me when they sold me the car. They have nothing to stand on. Their 2013 warranty booklet also gives them nothing. Those parts are absolutely covered.
