Sticky: (Official) 370Z Clutch Pressure (CSC) Failures

If your clutch sinks then yeah it'll most likely be MC that was my issue at least but my mech suggested I do the entire clutch while he's there and so I agreed hah went with some economic stage 3 we'll see what happens...

And if you are getting a fluid loss(but none on the ground)Take a look on the inside of the car and make sure the CMC isn't leaking externally.

WHOOOPP!!! So the kit has arrived a day early than the ETA for starters!

so awesome haha will be taking it to my mechanic tomorrow and we shall see how they run.

I'll tell you how it goes from install and then after the brake in period and finally after maybe 1k miles and should I suffer any downfalls with it will definitely update on that guys

I forgot to add that my csc went out on me at about 23k miles, IIRC. Year is 2012.
I drive my Z pretty hard as well, also. I've had the zspeed csc installed along with new oem cmc. I kept the original clutch mostly because I couldn't afford a new one and have had no issues thus far.

I think my csc may be on it's way out. The clutch feels really soft and it doesn't feel like it wants to pop up. Yesterday, it just sort of lunged as it engaged. I was trying to pull out of a spot. I had the transmission replaced under warranty at around 36k miles. I'm now at around 62k miles and completely out of my extended warranty. The dealership that replaced the trans also closed and now under new ownership. Anyway, the last thing I need right now is to spend a ton on replacing this stupid part. What have people payed out of pocket replacing this at a dealership and what are my odds of Nissan doing anything to help? Am I completely SOOL?

The part cost doesn't worry me, the install cost does. It's around $250 at Z1 for the CMC, CSC and CSC tube. Even if I go to a local shop, it sounds like an expensive job since they need to pull the transmission.
