Question About The Clutch

vtec to vvel · 05-15-2018, 09:42 PM

So I read about a few people having the csc issue. How many people on here have never experienced this and still on the original clutch slave/master cylinder?

I don’t daily my Z and is a ‘13 with 29k miles.

srbrubak · 05-15-2018, 10:33 PM

I have a 2010 with 33k miles and haven't had any problems yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I did have problems with 2nd and 5th gear synchros going bad. Nissan was nice and replaced my transmission under warranty.

AestheticCM1 · 05-16-2018, 12:48 PM

2010 with 60k on the clock. Not my daily. No CSC issues so far, but I have replaced the clutch and trans fluid every 30k for good measure.

After swapping out the fluid for the GTR stuff haven't had a problem. Still running the OEM CSC

I went 51K miles before changing out my working slave cylinder for an aftermarket one. Mind you I had 3 master cylinders fail in that time period.

2012, 31600 MILES. no issues on csc or anything else except key fob battery. so far my most reliable car out of the 8 I've owned.

Ghostvette · 05-18-2018, 10:30 AM

66k on original CMC & CSC. I have a new clutch assembly, CMC & CSC standing by...

Supmar85 · 05-18-2018, 10:33 AM

2015 43k miles no csc issues so far

I hope I don't have any issues on this. Was this ever "fixed" by Nissan? If so, what year?

Key fob batteries go quick on these things.

No it was not fixed. They changed out the clutch in 2018, but it doesn't help any.

FWIW, both of my Z key fobs are still on the original batteries from 2011.

2011, 34,000 plus miles. Mine gets pounded on. Still stock.

JLarson · 05-25-2018, 08:22 AM

2014, just hit 40k. Still stock.

MotorvateDIY · 05-19-2018, 10:02 AM

My G37 Sport has gone through TWO CSC in 88,000 miles

I suspect 2 hours of stop and go traffic doesn't help.

Fountainhead · 05-20-2018, 08:48 PM

65K and all original.

OptionZero · 05-27-2018, 09:25 PM

swapping out the CSC, clutch, and flywheel (and the master cyl as well while you're at it) might be the most transformative mod you can do, and something i'd recommend as a first mod

The VQ in stock form hates revving, slap a lightweight flywheel there and its fun to drive again

and an upgraded CSC takes away the biggest risk of breakdown
