Clutch pedal sunk when launched
 
So today I decided to play around a little bit and work on my launching.

I went a bit too aggressive on one launch...3.3k rev and let out the clutch pretty fast, revved up to 6k and dropped it into 2nd...rpm shot up and my clutch pedal was sunk halfway down. I let off and the clutch pedal came back up after 10-15 seconds. I drove around normally afterwords and didn't notice any other problems.

Is this the notorious CSC problem? Possibly low fluids? (I haven't had the chance to check yet)

Yes. The notorious CSC problem. Realistically it isn't JUST low fluids. Don't waste your time checking. Hey it replaced at the dealer and/or replace it with a HD one from Joe@ZSpeed

Sorry, but good luck! :tiphat:

If you have the money, I would just reclace with an aftermarket ZSpeed HD CSC & JWT Clutch & Flywheel. Definitely the CSC since the tranny is already out and possibly the clutch & flywheel since the tranny is out (this is if you have the extra cash).

Csc failure? Is this a recall? Or do we need to pay for this problem on our own? If so then how much for an upgrade?

Not a recall.
If your dealer is really good you can have it coveted under your pertain warranty.
The upgraded part cost isn't the problem. It's the labor involved. The stupid CSC is INSIDE the transmission.
