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

3.7 ZPA · 10-19-2016, 06:53 PM

A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a burning smell coming from the front of my Z. I check the oil regularly, so I checked it again, and the level was fine. There was no liquid on the ground wherever I park, so I looked at the rest of the fluids. The clutch fluid was below normal. I drove around for a couple of days, and checked again. The fluid is even lower.

The clutch feels fine, but I don't want to chance it. I'm assuming this is the CSC, right? The car is officially parked for the winter, and I'll be accumulating parts over time. I'm looking at the Z1 CSC Delete, a new clutch and flywheel, and a new master cylinder for good measure. Hopefully I don't get stranded on the way to the shop come springtime.

Edit: My Z is a 2009 with 42k on it.
