| Description of the problem | The clutch slave cylinder failed on our 370z as the vehicle was driving on the highway and county roads. The clutch pedal would not return all the way back up thus causing the transmission to be stuck in the gear it was in, and be less in control of the vehicle. After doing more research since, this is a known problem with the nissan 370z due to the poor design of using a plastic constructed slave cylinder that is mounted in the transmission bell housing. This is something that nissan should have recalled by this point! |
