I know it sounds harsh but if you don't do the research, buy a warranty or brand new. It's hard for me to sympathize.

The fact that the CSC is such a well known issue and he still bought the car, he should be ready for the possible need of replacement.

I'm sure they dealer even stated "No Warranty". Expecting the dealership to fix it when it's clearly stated "No Warranty" is ridiculous.

If you buy a used car without doing your due diligence, that's on you. Live with it and move on.

Just irks me when people buy used and play the poor me card when the car isn't perfect.


First off this isn't a "poor me statement." I never stated anything about the dealer mentioning a warranty. I had bought the car and on the SECOND day of owning it the clutch stuck to the floor. I don't know what world you are in but I don't expect any vehicle with 40k miles being sold from a car dealership to have serious issues like this right off the lot. I looked into this issue before buying the car assumed it would eventually happen but not this soon. I have plenty of vehicles new and used but never had a issue right off the lot. There was no way to tell until I drove it. I didn't expect the car to be perfect but I also didn't expect it to be immobile in two friggin days. There is a warranty on used cars in my state sold by a dealer. My car had a warranty, and was "fixed" until it happened again. My original question with this thread was if it was the issue was not fixed correctly, how I should proceed.

Thank you, yes they've helped me before. Great customer service. I just wanted it to last me a few months. I'll probably just bite the bullet if it happens again and start my new racing build. I didn't even check the fluids until it happened, I originally popped the hood and everything was clean so I assumed car was well taken care of... Stupid me haha

You haven't contacted the original repair shop yet to even ask them? But you wonder if you should get your lawyer involved? :rolleyes:

Consider it a blessing in disguise with the price of some money out of pocket. Get an aftermarket CSC and you won't ever have to deal with a failed CSC again (with very few exceptions) :twocents:

No they "fixed it" a couple weeks ago. It's up and running.

So you're good? :tup: :driving:

If they didn't replace the CSC, just be prepared :ugh:

my plans
 
I have a little over 2 years on the 3 years or 36K miles, whichever comes first standard warranty. During that time I am buying an after market csc recommended by folks on this forum plus the stainless steel lines. At or near warranty expiration, I will have it replaced even if the stock one appears fine. When they go, they can go all at once. The only decisions I have left are based on recommendations by other members to go ahead and replace the master cylinder as well (is that necessary?) and many have recommended changing to a different clutch as well. Is that necessary? No, I don't race or drive the car hard. I'm an older guy loving his sports car.

I would recommend a new master cylinder when you replace the slave. If you are getting an aftermarket CSC, this may not be entirely necessary. I would go ahead and do it because the masters are prone to failure as well. My CSC had not yet failed when I replaced it with aftermarket at 50K miles, but at 70K miles I'm on my 4th master cylinder :shakes head:

No need to change the clutch unless you're unhappy with the stock one :driving:

the HD csc will not be under warranty unless you replace the MSC at the same time according to my last check...
