| Description of the problem | This is the second major incident i've had with the transmission in my car. The first one was under warranty and the dealership replaced the entire transmission. Just yesterday and today, it feels like the clutch is failing once again. I haven't taken it in to nissan yet, but the issues sound a lot like the dreaded csc (clutch slave cylinder) failure the nissan refuses to recall. It's a truly problematic, expensive and life threatening issue. At best, the clutch sticks to the floor and you can't shift it into 1st gear. At worst, it happens while you're driving at highway speeds. Also, before it fails completely, the engagement point of the clutch changes drastically. The car has lunged forward because it just suddenly decides to engage the clutch. This is dangerous nissan and absolutely abhorrent that it hasn't been resolved, failure after failure after failure. The dealerships knowingly keep a few of this part in stock, knowing it's common. 370z owners have had enough of this! |
