CSC @ Lou Fusz / NISSAN Customer Care..

JARblue

I don't disagree with you. There are a couple of people on here who have gotten it covered between 30K-60K miles. I also know at least a couple of them let the dealer do pretty much all their maintenance work and are prime for "good will" warranty coverage.

The Z is my DD, so I would prefer not to wait for it to fail and not to fight with the dealer and corporate to cover it because I don't spend enough money with Nissan to get "good will" treatment for gray-area warranty coverage. I'm a customer dammit, and they should want to treat me with good will regardless of how much they profit from me.

I also didn't really want to shell out $1K+ for parts and labor when it finally fails, so I did an upgrade on my own terms. I spent $400ish on parts and did the job in my garage with some help. On jack stands. I wouldn't do work like that again without a lift, but the idea is that I won't have to ever mess it again. I'll probably get 100K miles out of the stock clutch, so I've got a few years before major transmission labor should be necessary again.
