I wouldnt buy an extended warranty, we've seen far too many times Nissan wiggle out of fixing/covering this issue with cars UNDER warranty..

Me personally.. no thanks, i'll pass.

2015, 1700 miles: Clutch was sticky on the way to work, and by the time I was off, it completely stuck to the floor when pressed; couldn't get into gear. Towed to the dealer and turned out to be the CSC. Fixed under warranty, no questions asked. Had it back the next day.

Wow that's two. Some BS right there. No way should new cars with less than tens of thousands of miles be breaking. I wouldn't like if it was at the tail end of the OEM warranty with 30-40k on it but 2,000 is completely unsat.

Looks like the thing to check is the clutch fluid and it starts going low, take it in. How often are you all checking that? Apparently once a month is too long :mad: Every fill up, I guess?

That's ridiculous. I am waiting on mine to fail (I am almost 10k). It will definitely piss me off :mad: I wonder if Nissan will agree to change the CSC with an aftermarket. (I'll pay for it). Also wonder how much that would cost.

Parts: $400-500
Labor: $600-700

Yeah my 2010 started doing this occasionally also (usually when running hard on a warm day). It has only 9000 miles on it. I guess I'll be going with the Z speed CSC. might as well get a lighter flywheel and new clutch also.

Or how bout this one: Z1 Clutch Concentric Slave Cylinder (CSC) Elimination Kit (Z1 motorsports). Seems like it might be a better solution. Anyone try this slave cylinder setup?


It is too bad Nissan has to put some junk parts on their cars - especially on a clutch!

Well, count me as another victim of this CSC crap :mad:

Upgrade to ZSpeed HD

Me, too: just tonight, while driving from NJ to VA. Clutch started acting up in DE.

:mad: :mad:

Yes, there is a problem with the OEM, but keep in mind that if you are under warranty... Do take it in and let them look at it before you spend too much money. I looked back on this thread and it's been 2 years since I took my 370 in for this same issue and they did the minimal service bulletin fix of flushing the fluid and changing with fluid used in the GTX?.. it has been working fine since that time.
Maybe I will end up replacing parts in the future, but so far, so good.

Based on his sig Agent K could still be under warranty, but I'm definitely not (only 28k miles, but it's a 2010). It happened once last year, after a panic stop: the problem went away by the time I brought it to a dealership the next morning, and they found nothing wrong. I'd read about the CSC problems, but figured it was a result of the stop.

There was no panic stop yesterday, though: after 2.5 hours of not using the clutch (averaging 80mph on interstates), when I finally needed to downshift suddenly it went to the floor. At first I could pop it back up with my toes, but it was barely engaging and twice it wouldn't come back up/wouldn't let me shift. Had to pull to the side of the highway once. I drove it up to NJ with no problem on Saturday.

I'll get it to a dealership today -- I haven't started it yet so I don't know whether it'll be driven or towed there -- and ask them to do the service bulletin fix.

*sigh*

Thats what I did, this is a good idea.

I filed a complaint over a year ago, never heard a word back.

Blows my mind that Nissan hasn't addressed this problem after all these years:mad:.

Just shows what they think of their customers:mad:
