OEM CSC over 60k miles?

Spooler · 09-02-2016, 10:33 AM

Yes, The 350z HR engine cars use the same setup. The earlier ones used the external CSC that Nissan has always used before.

59k and no issues on my previous Z before I sold it. 18k on my Z now and nothing yet.

I have 81k miles on my OEM clutch. bought the 2009 Z car at 52k. I can tell the clutch needs adjusting. I drive half city and half highway and use neutral a lot for what its worth.

don't jinx me

wow.. that's great. Are you sure it hasn't been changed before your ownership?

So how often do you change the clutch fluid?

I had the clutch fluid changed in Jan 2016 after owning it for 2yrs. the previous owner had all the records since the work was done at the stealership. he did say it had the steering lock problem.

I wonder if Spooler is onto something with the stop and go traffic. I'm not entirely educated on this style clutch but if people sit there at every light with the clutch peddle push down and in first while waiting for the light to change, it may heat things up. Isn't there a roller bearing or something that also wears prematurely from same negligence?

I can't imagine anyone sitting at a stop light with their clutch pedal depressed. As soon as I come to a stop, for any reason, I immediately stick it in neutral and release the clutch. In fact, in stop and go driving, I just let the clutch out to get the car rolling and then put it in neutral and coast. Knock wood, with almost 40K, I still have the original CSC.

OP what year is your Z? Mine is a 14 nismo with no issues

I have a 2010 tour/sport/6mt. As stated earlier, the CSC was changed around 30k miles under warranty.
