CSC Teardown

This is really nothing new. The older Z's slave cylinders would also go out at about the same mileage and were all metal. What I don't get is Nissan had to know this. It is a common wear and tear item. Why the heck would they put it inside the bell housing to make it such a pain in the butt to replace making you drop the tranny. It was much better when you just changed it on the outside of the bell housing. Cost for replacement was way cheaper.

HuH

The DE 350s used a clutch fork, which I believe to be a poorer design than the CSCs of modern manual tranny vehicles...
