Well i havent even got halfway thru these thread posts and know im suffering from this problem, damn you nissan. I have a 2014 370z with 24k miles 6 speed manual..obviously. clutch felt a little weird leaving the driveway yesterday, then when im leaving the gym i put it in first and almost stall the damn thing because the engagement point had moved a 1/4 off the floor. Got stuck at a stop light for 10 minutes pumping the pedal trying to get it to the dealer. Going to pick it up now said they replaced the slave cylinder and bled the system and iys working now. So we will see how long it is before im nack in with the same problem, gonna mention to them the DOT4 GTR fluid TSB

Update: got the car back, its drives slightly different now just normally shifting thru the gears getting up to speed...almost feels like the engagement point is slightly higher than it was when i first got it? Maybe the slave cylinder was failing slowly this whole time? Only had it for 2 months...only put 3-4k miles on it? So i guess its possible. But anyway they swapped the slave cylinder and filled all the lines with the gtr special mix so we will see ow long this "fix" lasts. Side note the guy said my car (2014) had already been in for this issue and it was fixed frm a recall?? Clearly that recall didnt do **** but put the same failing part in...

Had mine fixed in 2009 by Nissan, 3k miles later it failed again, I almost traded the car in at that point. But I went ahead and did the delete, and its been smooth sailing since, almost at 80k miles.

Did you choose the Z1 Delete, or the ZSpeed version which relocates csc? Im fed up with this csc issue and trying to decide which new alternative to go with.

Mine just went out. Had a scare a month ago and it drove fine since. Started acting up tonight. Was able to coast into parking lot and park it. Got ride home and will have to get it towed to dealer in morning. Ugh! 2014 with 23k miles.

Will Nissan tow the vehicle if it is under warranty?

Edit:. Called 1-800 number and they are paying for tow to nearest dealership.

The service guy looked at me funny when I said the CSC went out. I talked to the tech and he said they have done 3 recently. He told me they replace the CSC with a superseded part # that is supposed to be better ( probably B.S.),. Put The GTR fluid in and something about replacing an O ring that goes bad when the happens.

I know and it sucks. They are fixing it under warranty. I don't have $$$ now to do anything out of pocket unfortunately.

I added my name to the clutch problem class action site. I got an email from lawyer. Are you guys calling and talking to the lawyer or just adding your name?

I've gotten that on a lot of different things. Did he give you the "We've never heard of that before..."?

He didn't say it. He gave me a strange look.

They send a generic response after filling out the web form then I received an email from Trisha Monesi at Capstone Law. I called, left a message and she called back asking for more details of the Csc failure.

I asked her if she would be OK with me posting her contact info on this forum for anyone else that would like to be added to the suit. Here it is.....

Trisha Monesi
310.712.8014 Direct | Trisha.Monesi@capstonelawyers.com
1840 Century Park East, Suite 450
Los Angeles, California 90067
310.556.4811 Main | 310.943.0396 Fax


Hopefully there will be some kind of resolution by Nissan.

Cheers,

Ha, local dealer did that to me. Said it'd be $1,800 to cover labor and a replacement OEM unit.

I know, typical stealership, but I literally got a new master, better clutch+flywheel on top of the HD CSC purchased and installed for just a couple hundred more.

I have no idea what the compensation is gonna be like with the mentioned lawsuit, when/if it's even going to gain any ground, but like I said in an earlier post: huge net upgrade reliability and drive-ability (and somewhat performance).

It's kinda ridiculous to say "dude just drop the $2k when you have it", but in hindsight I can't see myself dealing with it any other way. Specialty shops insisted I wait until the OEM unit fails. I get that they've got bigger jobs/clients, but no way would I pay for a tow truck with added (and unplanned) downtime and probably some nice scrapes added.

This isn't like the oil cooler or fuel starvation where there's driving measures that can be taken in the meantime. It's a sudden failure. No disrespect, but I'm surprised some people want to drop money on power mods before tackling the weakest link of the car.
