You just never know.

Thank you, I'm being positive and the car has never failed me. I'm hoping that if it does fail on me, it's not during something important or an emergency.

Really love the help, thank you gentlemen (and ladies, you never know).

Take it in before catastrophic failure occurs. Give them the symptoms and they'll be tracking -- again, I'm sure it's on their radar at this point. If you wait much longer, you'll engage the clutch pedal one time and it'll fall to the floor and even a manual "foot reset" won't work. It'll just flop up and down.

My concern is that, while they are aware of the issue, they're still not certain as to what is causing it. If they new it was a CSC issue, or simply the fluid used, I'd think by now they'd be replacing them with upgraded versions.

I'm sure there is a "bean counter" somewhere who specializes in working the cost-to-benefit of such a scenario. And he is not I.

Good luck! I still love the car and once "fixed" I will take it on some distance drives in 5th and 6th just to see how it reacts.

Bleeed it NOW if its all working believe me i know what am talking about just bleed it, i had sooo much metal particles, and i had to bleed it twice a month apart and only after the second bleed the clutch feels perfect, i dont think ull make it till summer the metal particles will eat ur csc seal and it WILL fail soon.

Bleeding it Tuesday/Wednesday when my motul comes in. Sadly I will have to drive to campus about 8 miles away Monday and Tuesday, but not moving more than that.

I'm waiting till summer to drop the tranny is what I meant, I will be more careful with fluids now that I'm aware

CSC is happening!!! Expect complete failure shortly. Mine seemed to have signs over a couple days and then bam!!! Told my hubby it was happening and he didn't believe me until he took it to his work (Nissan dealership) and had it diagnosed.
