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

Ha, local dealer did that to me. Said it'd be $1,800 to cover labor and a replacement OEM unit.

I know, typical stealership, but I literally got a new master, better clutch+flywheel on top of the HD CSC purchased and installed for just a couple hundred more.

I have no idea what the compensation is gonna be like with the mentioned lawsuit, when/if it's even going to gain any ground, but like I said in an earlier post: huge net upgrade reliability and drive-ability (and somewhat performance).

It's kinda ridiculous to say "dude just drop the $2k when you have it", but in hindsight I can't see myself dealing with it any other way. Specialty shops insisted I wait until the OEM unit fails. I get that they've got bigger jobs/clients, but no way would I pay for a tow truck with added (and unplanned) downtime and probably some nice scrapes added.

This isn't like the oil cooler or fuel starvation where there's driving measures that can be taken in the meantime. It's a sudden failure. No disrespect, but I'm surprised some people want to drop money on power mods before tackling the weakest link of the car.
