I had three different dealers in the Austin area insist it wasn't covered under the powertrain warranty. It ended up being more hassle than it was worth. If they don't cover it, I would go somewhere else for the work. Go aftermarket and pick up the Z1 CSC Elimination Kit or the heavy duty CSC from ZSpeed or Specialty Z. The OEM CSC will just fail again.

Did you replace your clutch while you were at it by chance?

I was seriously considering it. But when looking at my clutch and pressure plate they both looked to be in great shape, no signs of it being ridden hard and plenty of meat left on the disc, so I let the dealer put it back in. Don't really have the extra bux for a new clutch kit at the moment. I can always put a new one in when the CSC fails again :eekdance:

No because I was only at 50K miles. We inspected the clutch, and it was in fine shape. I shouldn't have any problems getting 100K miles out of it. I'll probably have to replace my synchros before then anyway :ugh:

The next time I remove the transmission, I will plan to have the funds ready for an aftermarket clutch (or a cheap, used, low mileage OEM one from the forum if it happens suddenly lol)

Alrighty thanks for the reply guys. Nissan's not going to cover it naturally. Going to try to limp it over to AwesomeZ here in Houston to replace it with ZSpeed's HD CSC and another CMC while I'm at it. Going to just leave the clutch alone after talking to Joe @ Zspeed as it's only a DD.

Bad Slave Cylinder
 

Salve cylinder blew two days ago with no warning, had to be towed to the dealership. They called me in the morning and told me it drenched the clutch in fluid and the total for the repair is $1656 and that it is not covered because the clutch is a wear item. I went ahead and had them do it and immediately called Nissan consumer affairs after reading the transmission section of the warranty which states:
Transmission and Transaxle
"Case and all internal parts, torque converter and converter housing, automatic transmission control module, transfer case and all internal parts, seal and gaskets, clutch cover and housing and electronic transmission controls".

The car is an 09 with 43k and is under power train warranty until January 2015, I lodged a complaint with Nissan and alleged that the local dealer,Sutherlin Nissan Ft Myers, FL is not honoring the warranty.

Good luck. I'm expecting a call from Nissan regional mgr tomorrow to see if it's covered under warranty, I think the dealer is screwing me on this and lodged a complaint with Nissan

That's why I bought the auto.

:gtfo2: troll

I said more or less the same. And they still didn't honor it. Hope you get lucky.

Wow guys, you have some shifty dealers or something in your area.

It is without a doubt, 1000% covered under security plus. I just had mine done, $100 out the door.

I don't understand how some of you are having such bad luck, my condolences.

If you have security plus, don't give up and pay for the whole thing out of pocket!

um...did you also save 15% in less than 15min?

The clutch being saturated with fluid is possible, but unlikely. Seems like whenever the dealership drops a tranny, they always say you need a new flywheel/pressure plate and disk.

Well I got my car back from the dealer late Wednesday night. They replaced the pressure plate, disc, csc, and cms. On my way home I could barley shift into 5th and even tougher to get into 6th. So took it back to dealer, had the mechanic drive it and he thinks the 5th and 6th gear syncros must be off.

I have NO idea how they could have messed up the syncros, I thought it might have been the shift linkage or something, but it's back at shop awaiting for what Nissan tells them what to do. Said either rebuild trans or just putting in whole new unit.

Any luck with yours? Sorry I had the sheet of paper with the numbers and all the work they performed, but left it in the car....which is back at the dealer :shakes head:
