CSC failure covered under warranty?

Pearl09370Z · 10-30-2014, 05:35 PM

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

LMAO, the syncros just mysteriously failed after a clutch install, wow. Good luck with everything

kenchan · 11-07-2014, 12:43 PM

or sounds like a tv commercial.

as far as the 5th and 6th lockout issue, i think the dealer forgot to adjust the shifter when they put it all back. i read about this often...that dealers forget to adjust.

That's my guess, but called and said Nissan is sending a whole new transmission. I'm not the mechanic and not going to complain about a new transmission to go along with my new clutch and all lol!

As for it magically happened, I agree def related to work just performed. Though they seemed very helpful and said they'll just put it in as complete replacement lol.
