I would get out and talk to the driver behind you. Even move your car forward a bit to give them room to clear. Then have them pull out and block traffic on one side. I've done this for a lady whose car broke down in front of me before. Of course, I moved my car over to block, and then got out to help her push her's to the shoulder. Ideally you can move it yourself. I know you're skinny, but the car moves pretty easy since it's on wheels

Yeah, I would not try this in anything other than bumper-to-bumper traffic. Don't want to risk encountering some idiot going near full speed and not paying attention.

I recall reading (I think in this forum but I can't seem to locate the article) that someone made the suggestion that you change the clutch fluid in the clutch master cylinder resovior ever 10k miles or so. Use a baster to remove the fluid and replace with clean fresh DOT3 brake fluid. Press the clutch about ten times (engine stopped) and repeat the process. Change the fluid whenever it starts to discolor.
While it doesn't remove all the fluid, it replaces a majority of the fluid and seems to extend the life of the CSC. A number of vehicles use a similar design to Nissan's. Dodge Viper is one that comes to mind off hand. |

Which DFW dealers have covered CSC under warranty
I know my day is coming when I have the CSC failure and I already have the ZSP replacement in hand. Would like to hear from DFW folks which dealers agreed to replace under warranty and which ones balked. I have extended 120K mi warranty and am only expecting them to pay for the MC & labor.

Would like to revive the thread. I think I have a CSC failure. 11' with 40K miles, clutch to floor, towed to shop, thought it's clutch fluid boiling, had them put in Z1 SS line and Motul600, bled it, perfectly okay for two weeks, only to jump in to a soft clutch again. Fluid went from max to almost min in under two weeks, had them jack it up and they noticed brake fluid leaking from seal of transmission housing to engine block.
now I have two options, either try to have Nissan dealership inspect it and see if it can be covered under powertrain warranty (5yr/60k) or just have the shop do a Z1 CSC delete kit. For one, I don't want the dealership to drop tranny only to find out it's not covered and have to back on and waste $600 (it's still driveable now). But also concerned on how long the new one will last. At the same time, I love the possibility of dealership covering everything the replace as least the CSC (my clutch should be fine unless it's covered in fluid). So what do you guys think? I have a spare beater I can drive around in the meantime so downtime is not a concern. Thanks for input!!! |

Z1 CSC delete kit and call it a day. If they are willing to do the work under warranty try and negotiate them doing the labor and you buy the delete kit to have them install. Per Nissan tsb is to replace the fluid with gtr i believe dot5 but its not a fix its a patch.

buy a set for 1300 and install at a shop for 5-600. You'll get a reliable setup and be good to go. Or just do the CCS/CMC. I wouldn't put oem back in

I'm kind of leaning toward the same idea. Just hard to justify almost 2G out of pocket (clutch+flywheel+CSCEK+labor) when there's possibility of dealer covering a new CSC at least which should be good for idk...another 10k miles?
Well that and convincing my girlfriend that I'm doing the right thing. lol Quote:

Would you go with HD kit or Z1 delete kit? I have heard both good and bad things on both. I love the idea of Z1 kit on the outside of tranny for future easy access but it needs periodic adjustments. The HD kit seems solid and no maintenance but is still inside housing. any thoughts?
