I will say that the under hood temps of these cars is hotter than most especially for the clutch master cylinder and inside the bell housing. Wish Nissan would have left the CSC on the outside of the bell housing like the older cars. Very easy to change. 10min job max.
By the way, just ran out and checked my fluid. It is starting to look crappy again just after 13,000 miles. I will be changing it again soon. |

I Definitely agree on this one that is why I said to a certain extent. Driving habits and maintenance care definitely plays a big role on any vehicles longevity specially on fluid changes. I wish I can make that trip from FL to CA only if work would allow me 3 to 4 weeks off. Sad. Last edited by Zoren 370; 01-10-2015 at 02:39 PM. |

At minimum:
Complete fluid flush and replace with Motul. And the stainless steel clutch line. My recommendation: slave cylinder elimination kit, Motul, and new master cylinder. The elimination kit cost me around $1200 including installation. I will never have to deal with boiling fluid or csc failures again. So the cost may be high at first, but in long run will save a lot of hassle and inconvenience. and i just saw your pic....that fluid is fried |

also, why do you suggest I change the CMC? Don't I have to drop the tranny for that?

Edit: I'm ordering some motul now, will I need 1 or 2 500ml bottles? Might was well replace the line while I'm at it

B) I think you would be fine with 1, but it's always nice to have a spare. Heck, order 4 bottles and you will have enough to do brakes + clutch. FWIW, I have 51k mi on my car and stock CSC, never had any problems except once when I was on older fluid and was double clutching (practice for my other car). I run PFC fluid, and DD and track my car. Just upgraded to the RJM.

I should prob learn to double clutch and heel-toe sometime soon, I just don't have anywhere to go and mess around, it's always a hassle to do anything here in Miami

UGG, Coffee in the CMC. Not good. If this is your DD car, I would go ahead and change the CMC and CSC. I can't tell if you have sludge in it or not it's so bad. Fluid exchange and be prepared to replace it pretty soon.
Most folks say they don't get a warning before the CSC goes out. Yeah they do, this is it. Last edited by Spooler; 01-10-2015 at 04:39 PM. |

It doesn't seem like sludge, it's just really dirty. I will keep you all updated, I will probably be doing this next weekend. I hope my baby holds up fine until then. I know that for the CSC I will have to take it somewhere, will I have to take it somewhere to also get the CMC switched? Thanks all

Anyone have experience with this? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003VX...JBHTMEAAD48DGA
Or should I stick to motul?
