Eventually the CSC will fail. If you don't change your fluid properly it can come a whole lot quicker. It appears this needs to be done on this car every 15,000 miles at the min. Even the older cars with the external CSC would fail but they stayed cooler also because they were mounted on the outside of the bell housing. Regular brake fluid won't cut it either, Dot 4 is needed. As you see, heat is the enemy from having issues on your long trip.

you toasted your fluids with that long trip.
That is why before a long trip its advisable to have the fluids checked or changed.

You lucky your Z was good enough not to fail you while on the road trip.
