What is Up with These Clutches!?

If you replaced the OEM CSC and master with other OEM parts, it's probably failing again. Put in an aftermarket CSC and your problems will probably be over.

After 8 months and under 10K miles of normal driving? I know the CSC is crap, but it should be better than that!

If the CSC was failing again, why would a fluid flush fix the problem? Why would pumping the peddle temporarily fix the problem? Why would there be no fluid loss?

The clutch is a fairly simple system, but I cant figure out how these problems are happening. All I can come up with is that the fluid is slowly boiling and breaking down to the point of un-usability.

Yes it is, and yes it should. But it isn't, and Nissan refuses to acknowledge the problem as far as I can see. So don't put another OEM CSC in the car. There are at least three very reputable aftermarket options (Z1, Zspeed, Specialty Z). I elected to go with Z1's external slave cylinder
