Even get OCD sometimes when my clutch feels 'soft' (or maybe my left leg is getting stronger) to double check!
if the fluid level isnt dropping then it should be fine.

i think the best suggestion i can make on preventing csc failure is to go easy on the clutch. minimize smashing the clutch-in and clutch dumps. i dont baby the clutch at all, just easy clutch-in and out. G35C's are also prone to csc failures (nissan apparently didnt see alarming rates of failures i suppse)..but i seriously doubt mines going any time soon.

also replacing the clutch fluid every now and then appears to help the life of the csc.

the cylinder is tiny compared to wat you're doing to the entire car... it's not going to hold up to much abuse.
