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

SkipinJupiter · 06-16-2016, 09:10 PM

Don't forget to try the cheap fix before you spend too much money. I had my clutch pedal get spongy and start to drop with no apparent loss of fluid in the hot Florida summer.
I took it into Nissan and they drained the fluid and replaced it with high temp fluid (for free as their recommended tech. Bulletin fix) and it's been fine for 2 years now.
The original fluid was subject to boiling in the lines because of its close proximity to the exhaust and also a good amount of residue from the action/wear in the slave.

You got it done for free but did he mention how much a standard fluid change was. I'm having issues but doesn't appear of any fluid loss so it's either the cms or old fluid. Going to do the fluid change soon then see how it acts
