Would like to revive the thread. I think I have a CSC failure. 11' with 40K miles, clutch to floor, towed to shop, thought it's clutch fluid boiling, had them put in Z1 SS line and Motul600, bled it, perfectly okay for two weeks, only to jump in to a soft clutch again. Fluid went from max to almost min in under two weeks, had them jack it up and they noticed brake fluid leaking from seal of transmission housing to engine block.

now I have two options, either try to have Nissan dealership inspect it and see if it can be covered under powertrain warranty (5yr/60k) or just have the shop do a Z1 CSC delete kit.

For one, I don't want the dealership to drop tranny only to find out it's not covered and have to back on and waste $600 (it's still driveable now). But also concerned on how long the new one will last. At the same time, I love the possibility of dealership covering everything the replace as least the CSC (my clutch should be fine unless it's covered in fluid).

So what do you guys think? I have a spare beater I can drive around in the meantime so downtime is not a concern.

Thanks for input!!!
