I did find a smallish puddle in my garage right about where the transmission is... Certainly not a gallon or super large quantity though. What's the capacity of the clutch reservoir?
Local dealer sent me to the local Enterprise who gave me a Kia Rio to drive. Salt in the wound... |

If they replace one have them replace the other (i replaced both at different times) since its new i would argue to cover under warranty, i boight mine used and mine is also dd so unfortunately i couldnt afford to argue it. When they replace it they use gtr fluid. I also had mine go out a third time recently, they had to call the techline and ended up replacing the clutchline free of charge. Ive never heard of that and dont know how common it is but just thought id throw a heads up. Good luck man!!

I can flush with ~1/2 bottle of Motul (500 mL) easy.

Nissan should be ashamed of themselves. Known problem for years and it is still happening on the newer models? Wow...

Link looks like it's broken.
Complained to corporate. Got a case number and nothing else over the weekend. Got a message they're "replacing my clutch hydraulics" this morning. Looks like it will be fixed today instead of originally scheduled tomorrow. No real beef against the dealer (other than sending me to Enterprise instead of using a car on the lot, maybe) since they didn't engineer the crappy CSC.... but imagine they leaned on the techs to do it asap. At this point, i just want to get rid of the bottom feeder Kia. Not expecting really any other satisfaction. What are they going to do? They've had years to fix the design.. |

Just called me and told me all done. Said they replaced the clutch assembly as well as master and slave cylinders since it's a new car and they found they were missing a few pieces and would have otherwise needed to order more parts. I'll pick her back up in about an hour after I turn in the Kia.

Invoice says
401 Misc Transmission 306A1-JK40D CYL ASSY - CONCENTRIC SLAVE 30205-JK40C COVER ASSY - CLUTCH, WITH DISC 306A2-JK40A TUBE - CONCENTRIC SLAVE KN9U0-40001 GTR R35 SPECIAL BRAKE FLUID 2051 REPLACED LEAKY THROW OUT BEARING/SLAVE CYLINDER AND FEED LINE. ALSO REPLACED CONTAMINATED CLUTCH PARTS unless the MC is in the clutch assy, guessing he lied about replacing it. Clutch seems fine now. No mileage, so doesn't appear they test drove. |

Mind sharing which dealer did your work?
It's been recommended many times that one should also replace the master clyinder at the same time. If they didn't replace the mc, you can pretty much count on it to happen again.
