CSC failure covered under warranty?

TypeOne · 11-08-2012, 09:15 AM

I've had my car for 2 years, has 36k miles on it. I have never had an issue until 2 days ago. I installed a Z1 SS clutchline and motul fluid about 10k miles ago. I also have done the helper spring mod on the pedal. It felt great and never had any trouble with it.

Two nights ago I was beating on the car pretty hard and did a 3k rpm launch at the strip and the next morning there was a puddle of fluid coming out of the trans case.

I pulled the gearbox in about 2 hours, being careful. It wasn't as daunting as I expected..

You can see the corroded seal around the bearing, the fluid seems to be pumping out of that.

It also isn't cool that the whole inside of the case and clutch is coated with brake fluid.

Oh, well... new parts come in today and I'll have it back running this evening. I fixed it myself for under $200.
