CSC and dealership..need some advice.

I am really surprise that there are so many issues with replacing the CSC with factory trained mechanics. I have not replaced the CSC/CMC on the Z, but did so with other cars with external CSC. It is a very straight forward job that takes less than an hour and it involves a few bolts and brake line, then bleed the brake system.

The design of the CMC and CSC is very simple. It is just push rods and rubber seals.

As far as tough getting into gears, the clutch may not be completely disengaged or dragging. This can normally be adjusted on the push rod on the CMC. You basically reduce the free play on the clutch pedal so the clutch disc would disengage more when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. You will likely to have a higher engage point also.
