One is to continue driving it until it fails, and then pray the dealer takes care of you on the warranty. The other is to buy the HD CSC now and put it on a shelf, so when it fails you can sweet talk the dealer into installing it instead of the OEM piece when the car shows up there on a flatbed.

Someone soon will chime in about the magical "GTR Fluid" that will cure all your woes. It's a band-aid. The problem is a failing part, and fluid will not save it. It will only prolong the time until the bearing fails.

I disagree. The clutch fluid needs to be changed. It is not real bad, but needs to be changed. It is normal for the clutch fluid to look crappier than the brake fluid. It needs changing more often. Been that way on every Z I have ever owned.
