hey joe, my pedal dropped this past weekend and my 3 year 36k mile warranty literally expired 16 hours before I brought the vehicle in so I'm trying to fight that and get it under warranty, but if they don't give me a break have y'all come out with an aftermarket slave cylinder and master cylinder for a 2011 370?

I'm curious if anyone knows the long term effect of changing to an A/M clutch CSC and leaving the stock MC in place, is there a one to one relationship between the MC and the CSC? In other words, can the A/M CSC cause the MC to work harder etc pushing a different load -for lack of a better word- than the stock CSC?
I haven't seen any complaints but I have read that a lot of guys have a CSC that fails, they replace with an A/M CSC, then later have to replace the MC. Is it just a coincidence? |

We always recommend a new master cylinder with a new slave, Its like replacing your oil and not the filter.
Master CYL is just as worn as the slave, The same amount of crap/dirt and grime is in the master as is in the slave cylinder. It's a matter of once you open the system, if the master is weak, it will not work correctly. Our slave puts no more load on the master (actually a tiny bit less load/pressure) than the stock slave does, The clutch itself is what's going to increase the load on both parts. The master cylinder is a $100 part, Why would anyone spend $1500+ on a clutch, Slave, Flywheel and not replace the cheapest part in the system?

The limited knowledge I have of the CSC is that when it fails, it leaks all the fluid into the bell housing contaminating the clutch disk? My pedal began sticking halfway when releasing it so I checked the fluid level and it was empty. Filled it with more fluid and it works for now again, and the leak seems slowish? Has to be failed CSC though with fluid loss and its not leaking around the master. Should I be assuming I will have to replace the clutch when I replace the CSC? My G35 6mt was just as bad with all the stupid little things that were poorly designed and failed. I should have known better than to trust that the new Z would be better. Effing Nissan. |

It would build some resistance, usually about halfway...very occasionally it would get very, very close to full resistance but then would inevitably lose it again...or we'd start the car, and it would go into gear once or twice then not again. The first time we learned that the hard way thinking we were done and taking it on a test drive around the neighborhood only to become stranded...but we figured out if we gravity bled with the clutch fully extended we could "fake it" and get it into gear, enough to drive back home anyway. Finally figured it had to be the Master, because we did replace with the heavy duty slave cylinder...came around looking here and elsewhere and everything I've read seems to point to the Master. So I'm very much hoping that's the case, as we have one coming in tomorrow and I need the car driveable by Wednesday. Plus, ZDayZ is coming up...and I can't be out of the Z for that ![]()

With all these blown MC's, I'm wondering if it has something to do with having an internal csc? If you think about it, everytime you push the clutch pedal, the csc is picking up all the clutch dust sitting on the shaft. That dust gets suspended in the fluid and is very abrasive. That would probably make any seal go bad in no time.
I recently put on the z1 CSCEK on my car with a new master. Let's see if it makes a difference with the slave on the outside of the bell housing. |
