Update on clutch/slave cylinder problem

The dealer called and told me that Nissan told them a "special" clutch fluid will fix the problem. I asked what "special" fluid is and they just repeated the claim.

Default How do I proceed from here?

The dealer called and told me that Nissan told them a "special" clutch fluid will fix the problem. I asked what "special" fluid is and they just repeated the claim. Online, I found 3 special fluids...DOT 3, 4, and 5. How can "special" fluid fix a clutch pedal that goes to the floor every 2 months? Also, if clutch fluid of any DOT, leaks into the transmission because the CSC is bad, what does this do to the transmission? Is transmission fluid the same? If not, this must screw things up. was told; "We told Nissan your car has been in 3 times in 7 months for the same problem and they said try the special fluid and we'll go from there." In short, a ticking time bomb when it goes again leaving me stranded and, if the fluid is bad for the transmission, that goes too. At this point, I am considering getting rid of the car before it all breaks down. I'll call Nissan consumer affairs and give them a shot at this today. Thanks for your help. I feel sick every time I get into the car, which has been well taken care of, babied, never raced, touch the clutc, and it doesn't feel right.
