CSC failure covered under warranty?

JARblue · 10-29-2014, 05:44 PM

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

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

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.
