I was in my local dealership today making an appointment to have some 65K service items done that are beyond my ability. One of the services will be to flush the clutch and brake fluids and replace them. I asked the service writer about the CSC failure issue and he mentioned that a TSB had been issued to use GTR clutch fluid instead of the standard for better performance. I also asked that the clutch pedal play be adjusted as not only does the pedal seem "soft" but there is quite a bit of free travel at the top of the stroke, a reasonable amount of travel coming up off fully depressed before the clutch starts to engage, and not a lot of travel when the clutch is engaging before the pedal is fully let out.
The service writer said there was no adjustment in the pedal, replacing the fluid would make the pedal feel firmer and make up for the free travel. I smell B.S.
- Has anyone heard of a TSB to use Nissan GTR clutch fluid ?
- I am looking at the factory service manual for the clutch, section CL-5, On Vehicle Maintenance, Clutch Pedal Adjustment, Inspection and Adjustment. It seems to indicate that the "adjustment" is just for the clutch interlock switch proper operation. Is this correct ?
My service is scheduled for day after tomorrow, comments and advice are appreciated.
