Soft Clutch / Empty reservoir

GxH_NISMO · 11-24-2016, 02:21 PM

Hey everyone,

So I just got my car back from the dealer after having them look at a few issues, one of which being the feel of the clutch.

Their diagnosis was that nothing was wrong with the clutch and operated normally.

I got the car back and the clutch immediately felt softer. I drove it home and pressure built back up but still didn't feel normal.

I then had the bright idea to check the clutch fluid. Lo and behold the clutch reservoir was completely empty.

Today is thanksgiving so the dealer was closed so I filled up with some Prestone DOT 4 fluid until I get it looked at and flushed. The clutch still has a significant amount of soft play to it.

Any idea if this is a CSC issue or perhaps something else?

* it blows my mind how you tell the dealer that the clutch doesn't feel normal and they don't even check the fluid level!?!
