What is Up with These Clutches!?

JARblue · 11-04-2014, 12:46 PM

If you get another OEM one, just be prepared for the same $hit to happen again

Its a hydraulic system if you lose a half a cc of fluid and get in air pocket it wont eork right and if you can tell that you lost a half a cc of fluid from looking at the side of the reservoir you must have the most accurate eyecrometer ever. It starts out as a minute leak caused by contaminates in the fluid lifting the outer seal on the csc and eventually it wears the seal down and turns into a noticable leak. Stfu replacr ur **** and be happy. The nissan design is garbage replace it or deal. If that isnt a good enough explanation for you why dont you go hire an engineering firm to do a life and failure anaylisis study on your car, you seem upset enough to drop the $40k to get one done

I drove both the AT and MT versions. MT was way more fun. I wouldnt have it any other way in these cars. It sux the clutch system is such crap.

I have an appointment with the dealer tomorrow for a free inspection. The tech I talked to said it did in fact sound more like a fluid issue given my symptoms and how long ago the new parts were installed, so they will see. He said he has seen issues pop up due to inadequate or missing heat shielding that was removed during previous CSC replacements and if that is the case, they will flush and re-shield it at no cost for me. I have read countless posts on this topic, but I think my situation is different. We will see what they find.

THERE IS NO F'N HEAT SHIELD it's just a little piece of fire sleeve over the clutch line and it does jack. But go ahead and bandaid that ish we'll here from you again in a week or so.

Easy slick. I'm not a Nissan tech. I have only seen the underside of my own car. Someone who works on and fixes these cars everyday told me this and said that they would check it out and correct anything for free. How is that a "bandaid"?

Lol, maybe they can put in the magical "GTR fluid" and make it all better.

kenchan · 11-04-2014, 04:29 PM

the answer to all your problems is to get an AT.

I had my CSC replaced with an OEM CSC, I know, I know. Have a lot of things on my plate right now and since my Z's under warranty the total replacement was $100 out of pocket for me. The clutch feels sooooo much better and smoother than before and the engagement window seems much easier to work with. If this one only lasts as long as the original I'm still cool with that. If and when it goes out again I'l pony up the bucks for an aftermarket part. Until then, I'm super stoked to be driving my Z again, it feels better than ever to drive!

Spooler · 11-04-2014, 06:38 PM

LOL, my wonderful clutch is rattling and making noise when the clutch is depressed. I feel it in the clutch pedal also. I want to take it in to the dealer (old friends) but I don't want just more of the same. I most definitely won't put up with any "it's not under warranty crap". My CSC is still good at the moment but it is only a matter of time. I loath this sorry design.
