370z Slave Cylinder

OP, work with your dealer to understand why your flywheel is burnt. Collect pictures of the supposedly burnt flywheel. Ask, politely, if your dealer is able to show you a non-burnt flywheel (probably won't be able to). You can always look this up online. Do not fight/argue with your dealer. Your battle is with Nissan at this point.

I suggest you post pictures here such that others may weigh in. There many members here who have experience with what an "abused" flywheel will look like. There are some heat markings on almost all used flywheels and flywheel pictures I've seen.

If it is indeed burnt, ask Nissan to review the pictures, and also explain how a burnt flywheel translates to a CSC failure. Do not settle for anything less than a technical representative answering your question (the consumer affair specialist is just a middleman). They will have difficulty doing this. At the least your CSC r+r should be covered unless they can prove that your flywheel is "burnt" and that subsequently caused a CSC failure. Take to the media if Nissan refuses to cooperate with the above process.

That is your clutch disk and pressure plate.

Lol sorry was driving while posting meant "I wasn't able to" and that I got a pictures of my clutch disk. Just probably looked like an entire noob. But as far as the flywheel they couldn't actually let me see it since my technician was out for the day and he "misplaced" it.

What did they do to the Pressure Plate. Put it on the plate surface and kick it around on the floor. It actually looks to me that your clutch CSC fluid ended up on the clutch disk. That is what made the hot spots. This does not resemble an abused clutch. The small speckles of hot spots on the pressure plate resemble this. Flip the clutch disk around if you have it. I want to see what it looks like. I think you have a good case to take to Nissan. An abused clutch will have hot spots the size of silver dollars all over the pressure plate. It would not be speckled with hot spots. That to me represents clutch fluid contamination.

I am so sorry brother. This is just not right.

When I say speckles, I mean the black speckles. That white crap looks like where they kick it around on the concrete floor.

I actually do not have anything in my possession. I was able to get in and out of the dealer. They where closing up at 6 and I had just gotten there at 5:57 so I was being rushed. I did however see my transmission on the ground and it looked perfectly fine to me. There were no signs of abuse nor any clutch fluid (break fluid) anywhere. I played dumb so they would let me get my hands on it but as far as my flywheel I do not know where they might have put it or placed it.

Take those pictures and present them to Nissan. I beat you can win the case. They will ask for all parts involved at the dealer to be sent back for an engineer to analyze.

Spooler

The clutch disk absorbed the brake fluid. It didn't just go missing. That is what caused the speckled hot spots on the pressure plate.

I spoke with a consumer affairs specialist and they had said they recieved pictures and notice of it misused so they "closed my case" for it "not being covered under warranty"

Spooler

That's BS.

I will be seeking legal help if I can't work it out directly with Nissan.

Where is Andrew?

Get all of the parts. You paid for the replacements. The old parts are yours. Then, have a third party look at them and give you a determination of the cause of the hot spots.
