A failing CSC would not suddenly work as normal for months of driving with just a fluid flush. Failed seals, as you suggested, means leaking. I don't have this and no fluid is leaving the system. This means one of two things. - Fluid is going somewhere else when I press the clutch (not sure how that could be possible, where would it go and how would it get back into the reservoir?)
- It is breaking down and boiling allowing for comprehensibility.
When I flushed the fluid 3 months ago, with the exact same symptoms, the problem was gone. If the CSC was failing, that would not be the case.
Is everyone here with an OEM CSC getting it replaced every 6 months? |
not every 6 months, but I would venture to say everyone that drives their Z regularly WILL have the OEM CSC fail eventually, so it won't hurt to replace it while you're ahead of it happening.
If it is just your master failing, you'd still want to replace both, saves the headache
