Transmission removal and CSC

Denny McLain

Called a local dealer checking on availability of a CSC and in the DFW area (13,000,000 people) there was only one in stock in the whole area. This raised a red flag as this is a huge Metro area. Either the customer must wait 2-3 business days to receive the part, or they are not replaced each time. Let's just say, I'm suspicious they are.

After removal of the CSC (bought a replacement) it appears that yes, there is clutch disc contamination as mentioned by Joe at ZSpeed. However, after playing with it, they can be flushed out quite easily. The existing CSC is fairly new as it was replaced under warranty by the dealer. Knowing what I know now, I'd never purchase a new one. Just flushed out the old one and remove the source for potential failure. The contamination can be easily removed, and I'm keeping the part for future use.

Live n learn.
