Becoming an all to familiar sight... I think when it gets fixed i'm going to go see what I can get for it on a trade for a new/newer Camry/Corolla, New Civic or new/newer Accord or something. Sofa king tired of Nissan...

The reservoir still had fluid in it when I rolled it out of the garage but there was a bit of a puddle of it on the garage floor and driveway then even more on the tow truck...

I'm sorry to hear it happened to you again.

I check my fluid this morning and it's dirty, again.

Only 1500 miles since the last time I put new brake fluid in :(

Reporting in that My '12 370z has had this part fail TWICE.

Once at 8k miles, and again at 31K miles.

It's in the shop right now, getting the CSC replaced. Garbage.

I bit the bullet, bought the 350 dollar Z speed CSC, and having them install it.

I use to live in NoVa, and I had mine replaced at AAM in Annapolis Junction, MD.. I didn't have a CSC failure but I upgraded to the Zspeed as a precaution. (roughly 7500 miles)

I had a track day today, and and the end of the 2nd session, the clutch stuck to the floor and stayed there. We bled/flushed the clutch with new DOT4 and that fixed it for the rest of the day, but I'm wouldn't be surprised if it were to die again tomorrow. The old clutch fluid was extremely dirty, so not confirmed CSC failure yet..

VIN: 502405
Mileage: 40k

I previously had a CSC failure 3 years ago, at about 18k miles, and it was replaced under warranty. I think I posed here then, but can't remember.

Posted this on my page as well. This is my 2nd CSC failure. First one was at 12k mi and this time it was just under 60k mi.

So last night I sensed a noticeably different and much lighter feel on my clutch pedal (clue #1). Checked CSC and topped it off (clue#2). Today I hesitantly drove it to work and sure enough, the pedal bottomed out while on the freeway and managed to steer the car to the side. I planned for it by taking a bungee cord along with me. Strapped the cord to the pedal and held it on my left hand while holding onto the steering. Right hand to switch gears. Drove it 7.5 miles using this technique through freeway traffic and on surface traffic until i got to Specialty Z. This by the way is my 2nd incident. No big deal. Knowing how it is, I was not upset but rather prepared and ready to handle it.

The good news.....They have parts!!!!!! Picked up the Maxx Street clutch flywheel combo with the Tilton slave. The other good news, they drove me to work on Greg's Cayenne. Great service. Seb was out. He and his wife had a baby over the weekend. Car was in the shop until 4:45. Thanks L.J.!

------

Beware -- if you experience failure and somehow manage to get it back to normal by topping it off, it does not mean it is fixed or it is ok. The leak may be slow or simply collected in the housing and not necessarily leaking out. The moment you feel softness or a change in pedal feel or keep on topping it off, it will be a matter time before it sinks to the floor. Take it to the shop before you break down.

Advice for those who has not experienced it or for anyone for that matter, have a bungee cord ready in your trunk. It will save you grief and get you to the shop/dealership safely.

Good tip on the bungee cord ! I am going to throw one in my car just in case.

Still amazed that Nissan doesn't give a rat's *** about this.
