Default Update on clutch/slave cylinder problem

As posted before, in May 2014, my clutch pedal went to the floor and I had to drive home in 3rd gear stopping for nothing. I made it home (it was late at night) and, as soon as I pulled in the driveway and rpms dropped, it stalled and died. I had it towed to the dealer. According to this forum, it was most likely the slave cylinder which is in the tranny. I told them this as the fluid was not low in the reservoir. They flushed the system, told me it was dirty, and was good to go. It was fine until September when it happened again. I got the car there, they flushed the system, charged me, and it was good to go. I argued about the slave cylinder and that my warranty expired in the middle of October. Yep, on Friday November 28, it happened a third time. It is there now. They said that Nissan is unlikely to honor the warranty as it expired in October. I argued the car was brought in twice, same problem, before the warranty expired, was not fixed, and should be covered. I waiting to see what they say. I told them do no work, I need a diagnostic. I also asked where the clutch fluid went? No leak in my garage or in the car. I don't have the money to fix this out of warranty (they said around $1500). Any ideas? At this point, I am ready to sell the car.
