For comparison, I am getting an entirely new 6MT transmission assembly plus install for about $3K. There's about $700 of labor, so let's use that number since it's basically the same work. A nice street clutch and flywheel should only run you $800 or so. CMC is about $100. CSC is gonna be $400ish for aftermarket solution. That means you should be around $2000 out the door give or take a few hundred depending on the regional shop rates. But not an extra $1K

$1,500 for a complete South Bend Stage 2 daily kit from Zspeed. Tack on labor around $6-700 you should be out just barely over $2K!

I'm also a victim of clutch failure. In my case it was the CMC that began to leak. Pedal is to the floor, and no hope of driving it to repair. I've decided to also go ahead and have the CSC replaced too. I'm awaiting a quote from AAM Competition, and if it doesn't hurt my wallet too much I may go ahead a upgrade to a new ACT Clutch kit as well.

I'm not sure if CMC had failed before with previous owner. But I do have documentation that original owner replaced CSC when car had 52363 miles. Currently car has roughly 64,000 miles. It's going to be gut wrenching to see my Z get taken away for repairs by a Rollback Tow Truck!

Well, the GTR fluid trick didn't work. My clutch pedal went to the floor again and stuck. I had to flick it back up with my toe. I contacted the service manager...nothing back from him yet.

Maybe I am getting screwed (paying the standard "I don't know much about cars" premium), but I made the best decision I could. :shrugs: I'm living with it, plus it's too late for any changes now. Assuming the kit gets delivered tomorrow I'll have my car back NLT Thursday, and at this point that's all I care about.

The guy also said this kit is my only option if I want the car done any time soon: he said everywhere else they called, the parts were out of stock until mid-June. Oh dude, I'm sorry. |

I believe dealers are required to swap out the fluid first to see if that works. I've never actually read about anyone having the fluid swap alone solve the issue.

Every dealer should have a supply of spares on hand. At least 2-3 per dealership parts dept for as long as they're going to keep the janky part without a better engineered replacement.
