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

Ewrjontan · 10-26-2016, 01:50 PM

What exactly happens when the CSC fails and how exactly does one react to it? Obviously the pedal sticks to the floor, then what? I can only imagine driving down a highway then you try to shift when the clutch doesn't come back up. So now you are stuck in gear correct? Do you just pull to the shoulder and coast until the engine drops low enough in RPM to stall? I'm a little confused.

You won't have any clutch release, So yes it will be stuck in gear.

A Manual trans is easy enough to pull out of gear to N while moving, Just rest the rpm at a neutral speed where there is as little load on the drive train as possible and pull into N . Or just drive to the closest off ramp and do it there. If you are good enough with a manual trans you can drive the car without the clutch really.
