| Description of the problem | I purchased the 2011 nissan 370z nismo with 30,000 miles from a nissan dealership and after 2500 miles of driving i had this issue with the clutch. I was driving and the clutch pedal went to the floor and would not come back up. After pulling over i checked and saw that the clutch fluid reservoir was completely empty. I know the fluid was full and clean when i got the car because we looked at all of the fluids at the time of purchase. I ran to a gas station to get some brake fluid to fill it up and drove home. I did not touch the car until i was able to drive it to the dealership that weekend. The dealership techs were unable to find any kind of leak in the clutch line, slave cylinder, or master cylinder and recommended i have them flush the fluid with new "gtr brake fluid". As of right now that has been done (not covered by my drive train warranty), but i'm not sure how new fluid will stop a leak. I don't drive the car as much and have been keeping a close eye on the fluids. |
