When I said it gave out, I meant there was an instantaneous loss in pressure. Fluid is now near empty. After swapping out to the HD CSC and a new CMC, I shortly encountered inconsistent pressure from my pedal after every few thousand miles of driving, and I would bleed the fluids, but similar symptoms would reoccur as miles accumulated on the fluid(especially during stop and go traffic in the heat). After contacting Joe, he informed me that it could be the CMC. His advice was 100% correct and greatly appreciated. I swapped it to the RJM CMC 8,000 miles ago with fresh RBF 600 fluid. It resolved all issues. Then two nights ago while driving on a cool night, the clutch went from full pressure to 10%, and shortly to the inability to shift into gears.

-37,000/ 3 years on the HD CSC
-Changed every 7,000 miles to Fresh Fluids because I didn't know why it was acting up until I consulted with Joe.
-Swapped out CMC at last 8,000 miles (everything was great)
-Drive in a lot of stop and go traffic, seldom redlining the car. Car is now at 100k miles.

Hope this helps. I'm happy Joe has created a new kit, and I'm very glad it's external so no more dropping the transmission for a while.
OK, thanks for your response. It's interesting since I have the same set-up, with the ZSpeed HD CSC and RJM CMC. No problems after 5K miles, but your post is a bit concerning. Have you confirmed that the HD CSC failed and not the RJM CMC? Also, did you install the ZSpeed insulated clutch hose? How about the RJM clutch pedal assembly?
