I actually read it on the carfax after purchasing. I had an ‘09 7AT at the time and wanted a manual again so bad that I guess I rushed into it. No issues and drove like a champ.

I think you should install a ZSpeed replacement so you don't have to worry about it ever again. You're going to lose a lot more than the cost of CSC replacement if you try to trade in the car with a leaking transmission bell housing

Even when I had the ‘07 350Z, I read about the same issue about csc but never had an issue. Bought her with 16k miles and traded in at 80k and no csc issues. I figured I’d get lucky here too lol.
I wouldn’t even know where to take my car to for that kind of work. Def don’t want to take it to the dealership.
I’ve always wanted a gtr. I started a new job that is enabling me to do so and may just leave the Z parked until trade in time.
