Well noise im not too worried about its a z not an s class

and i think turbo is coming next summer, once I get dd. Thanks for the input.

If you're set on that clutch (which they've got rated for 700hp) you may need to get one of RJM's adjustable clutch pedals to deal with it. That clutch can hold more power than the stock block can, so unless you're going really big it's still overkill. Give the guys at ZSpeed a call before you put any money down and talk to them about your goals.

. A month ago dealer installed new slave cylinder. First and second owners had to deal with the same issue. Here is the list of things that got replaced first time http://www.the370z.com/engine-drivet...tml#post842990. So after a month of driving since new csc clutch fell to the floor again, i brought it to the dealer they are scratching their heads because everything looked fine when they worked on it and there is no way something else could of failed. They are going to bleed clutch fluid but im more than positive that it will be temporary fix if it helps at all.
Right now clutch works when it wants to sometimes it feels normal, soft or all the way to the floor, but with either scenario cars lacking acceleration its doing 5000 rpm on 4th gear at 40mph

. What are my options here? Should i be prepared for getting new transmission or would it be worth doing it instead of dropping 800$ every month? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

If it is inconsistent there is still air in the lines or trapped in the master.

you're stuck in the loop one of the JWT tech was telling me last time i was at their facility, basically the dealer is changing the failed part only leaving your car with a lot of contaminated fluid(check your clutch reservoir, its probably silver and full of clutch dust), and since the dealer is only installing the CSC, you are in a never ending loop of CSC failing, all of which is attributed to contaminated fluid being cycled through the brand new CSC causing the seals to fail

the only way to fix it entirely is to change the CMC and CSC(z speed HD CSC is the one to get) and flush the CMC lines entirely so there is no clutch dust in the brake fluid honestly id pay someone else outside and get it done properly, the dealer will keep doing their "procedure" if you keep taking it to them and you will keep blowing CSCs
