So I'm currently driving my Z across the country (west) and as soon as I got into Colorado, and the altitude got above about 4,000 feet I noticed my clutch started feeling softer.
As I climbed higher it got really bad, the engagement point was super low and the clutch started sticking to the floor. When I pump the clutch, I can feel the pressure building to "push it back out" and then the clutch engages normally again for a short time. I topped off the clutch fluid reservoir with DOT 4 brake fluid, which helped a little, doesn't seem to be leaking. I got it up to about 10,000 feet, and it was pretty bad, now back down to 6,000 the problem is actually almost entirely gone. My question: I am 2,000 miles away from home, and my plan was to continue further. I am getting the clutch fluid bled and replaced completely tomorrow at Pep Boys. My Question: Does it seem like flushing and replacing the fluid might fix it for the duration of the trip or do I need a new CSC before returning home? 2012 370Z Touring now at 101k miles, haven't replaced since I've owned it at 63k miles. |
