Clutch Problem???

niznizbobo · 03-23-2012, 04:00 AM

Does anyone have this problem before?

When I take off the car harder, like I rev to 3000 or 4000 and take off the car, my clutch wouldn't jump back, it just stuck in there, when I release the throttle it comes back and I can smell my clutch burning! Is it normal or something wrong with my driving. Anyone?

Ouch... definitely not normal. I don't launch too often but 3k is too low...

That's strange. When you drive normally, does the clutch function properly?

anthonyy · 03-23-2012, 02:02 PM

I'm guessing it's an issue with the CSC

look into some steel braided clutch lines.. its from everything heating up to much and the clutch will stick. Happens in the G37s as well. Just to confirm though your car does drive fine under normal driving? It is only when trying to launch the car correct?

CSC failure...... search for it and you will be like

Yup prolly csc failure mine did the same thing I bled the lines put on a stainless clutch line helped but everyonce in awhile I feel the pedal get soft I'm ordering a hd csc and upgraded clutch hopefully that fixes the problem

yea, but when I turn off my VDC, it seems fine. Strange to me, and it is driving fine when normal driving.

Another CSC or boiled clutch fluid issue. If it's under warranty, take it to Nissan and have a tech ride along. They'll probably change out the CSC for you. Otherwise, go to a stainless steel clutch line and upgrade to some Motul RBF600.
