I love my Z, just wish I could drive it like I want to. Call me a worry wart but I drive around all the time conserving clutch cycles, shifting gently, constantly refreshing the Clutch Fluid every time it gets dark in the reservoir, trying to stay below 4K rpm, etc.

Just wish I could enjoy this beautiful car instead of the nagging feeling of the "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and the clutch CSC goes belly up. Of course I'm only at 14.4K miles so its probably gonna be a while but nonetheless its a constant nag.

I know I'm paranoid. I'm not a 20 something daredevil that's challenging the clutch to fail... It's not like I can't lift it up, yank the tranny and change the CSC but WHEN will it give out, what time of night etc....guess I should follow my own advice and just change it now on my terms instead of the failure sneaking up on me.

From reading the forum I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels this way - maybe a small minority but since I've been following this forum I see CSC hitting folks chronically. Nothing I can do about it but now I'm ending this rant.
Careful with mine, too. She appreciates it by still looking and driving showroom new at 3.5 years and 12,000 miles. Expect to make her last for at least 15 years and 100,000 miles.
