GREAT, please confirm my beliefs!

Minor update: Still no diagnostic, I'll get that Monday hopefully and can start this consumer affairs process again. It sucks, the woman I dealt with for my steering wheel lock got switched to another region. That doesn't help me. However, the two service managers are looking for every reason to help me here (the positive). The one is the son of one of my mom's close friends from way back.

I asked to check under the power train for the slave cylinder. If it was under there before, it no longer is. The mechanic who worked on my car before was a non bullshitter and being straight up, so I appreciated that. But, everything involving the clutch was only under the 3-year warranty. The only thing that was under the power train was the bearing. The mechanic was confused saying "they're all basically under the same thing, but why is this one under the PT and the rest is the 3-year?"

Jeff (the service manager, who also worked with me on my steering wheel lock) said he thinks the Z's are different than the Altimas and Sentras because the bearing and cylinder are one piece on those cars (making it easily covered), however the Z is two. That's his guesstimate though, I'm sure someone reading this would know that answer.

They were going to try to throw it under the transmission, but they said all of that stuff goes back to Nissan so if they pull that and Nissan doesn't see anything wrong, the dealership is murdering themselves.

I don't know where to quite go now. It seems like it's just consumer affairs or pay. However, I have no option outside of letting the car sit there until Nissan gets me my money because I don't have the money to pay it. So, this should be interesting come Monday/Tuesday.

What's everyone else think?
