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

SpacemanF1 · 01-26-2017, 11:26 PM

First post. Signed up for the forum because of this issue. Bought my Z with 38k miles and the CSC blew at 40k miles. Got it replaced with the hd slave from zspeed. The pedal pressure is much lighter than I remember. But the clutch is still just as grabby as ever.

Mechanic said my clutch still looks brand freakin new, so fingers crossed I get to enjoy some reliability. Anyway, add me to that list of yours if you wish.

Damn guys, my clutch was losing pressure a few days ago so I scheduled an appointment for today to get it checked out because of possible CSC issue.

Started my car today and couldn't get into 1st gear..took couple of tries and it got into gear. On the way to the appointment on the highway, my pedal sunk to the floor while trying to shift into 5th gear. It wouldn't let me shift out of 4th at all and I had to slow down on the side and rolled until I stalled....

Had to tow to dealership and is getting checked out. Receiving a call tomorrow...

2016 Base Coupe 21,000KM got the car brand new.

whatever you do, dont put another factory CSC in.. get you something aftermarket, something thats proven to work..

best of luck.

Got a call back today, confirmed CSC / Master cylinder issue, was also told it was causing leaking of the clutch fluid as well. Got a rental car(Nissan Sentra lol), everything covered by warranty, gonna take them a week to fix including waiting for parts...Sigh

duuude.. ask them, if you bought an aftermarket CSC, can they install that instead of an OEM one, if you put that OEM one in, you're gonna have the same problem..

I still can't believe Nissan won't fix this defective part...

I'm getting the Zspeed CMAK in a few weeks.

I'm going to ask them when I get my car back so I could do that next time it fails or when I get the kit, and hopefully they'll still cover it under warranty. I didn't order the parts as I never expected it to fail at 20,000KMS, and I don't want to leave my car at the dealership for another week or longer
