Can I Prevent CSC Failure

JARblue

If you're within the 30K miles bumper-to-bumper warranty when it fails, they should cover it no problem.

Outside of that, the CSC coverage is referred to by some as "good will" coverage. Basically meaning that if you spend a bunch of money on maintenance at the dealership, they're more likely to cover it. If you don't do maintenance at the dealer (like me), then even within the Power Train warranty they will likely deny your claim.

**edit** if you do all your maintenance at the dealer and they still deny your claim, fight tooth and nail to get them to cover it. Bitch to the dealer and corporate both until they cover it.

Let's say it fails under warranty, isn't Nissan just going to put the same crappy part back in?

When Nissan released the TSB about switching to the GTR clutch fluid, wasn't that supposed to be a fix or was it just a band aid?

Yup!

A few people have actually had their dealer install the ZSpeed HD CSC under warranty labor but without offering further warranty support for the install because it's aftermarket. But those particular dealers seem to be few and far between. Most dealers won't touch aftermarket parts.

Band-aid. I'm sure they were hoping the GT-R fluid didn't get dirty as quickly, but the fact is the CMC and CSC designs are fuckin terrible. Period.
