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

Initial Z · 08-22-2017, 02:04 AM

Mine might have went this week. It has 77k.
My fluid was just at or below the MIN mark.
Pedal had about an inch/ inch and a1/2 of play but not all the time.
It happened mostly at night. Felt like air or moisture in the line. Fluid could have cooked some?

Fill it and bleed it. If that doesn't help, you're probably toast. At 77k on your baby, you just as well change the clutch while you're in there and I would recommend installing the external csc from Z1. Good luck with the repairs but if you got 77K out of it, you may have set a record!

Turns out if was air/moisture in the lines from 77k mile fluid burning off. No leaks and the service bulletin said use GT-R brake fluid. Though I may switch to Motul rbf 600.

I guess it was the equivalent to a baby having gas.
