this is the greatest repair/installation video I've ever watched
Appreciate it man!
Did you benchbleed the CMC before installing it? How hard is it to remove?
First, kudos for trying this on jacks. Easiest to drain the trans fluid first. I don't think you need to remove the shifter, just disconnect the linkage.
Thanks man!
Thanks for the great video, loved how it straight and to the point you were. Is there a reason you didn't go with the Tilton HD master instead of the OEM?
Main reason was mostly due to the fact that from my research no one had any issues with the OEM master and as long as it was replaced at the same time as the CSC everything should be fine.
@@VEDEMRACING99 Ah, okay. Was just wondering if there was info out there about folks having issues with the Tilton. I just went with it because it's beefier and no plastic components on it so seemed like a safer bet. Briefly considered the CMAK but the forums seem littered with issues on them. HD CSC definitely appears to be the way to go.
Hey i love the video man, cant wait to hopefully install mine. Hows it holding
up?
So far so good! We have put a good 30k miles on the car including some track days with no issues!
Real quick that gear oil you spilt is the transmission fluid right? Which is the bolt on the side of the transmission to refill correct?
That is not correct. That fluid was actually your clutch fluid line that goes to your CSC. The bolt on the side of the transmission was the bleeder to get all of the air out of the line for the CSC. During this entire process I did not have to drain or refill the transmission fluid
I was just laughing because i saved this video and watched it about 10 times now to prepare to do mine. Its a 2010 with 53k on it and as far as i can see by all the service records it was never done. So the time bomb is ticking 😆. Im just hoping it lasts till winter cause its comeing out either way then. I did flush the fluid though when i bought it just to squeeze any extra life i could out of it. Such a great clear video man 👍 thanks for taking the time to make it.
Waugy 370z mines a 2015 lasted 71.5k then my clutch was super glued to the floor 😂😭😭😭
@@Vyby I cringe everytime I shift. Trying to be as easy as possible to make sure it lasts till winter 😆 I cant believe Nissan wouldn't recall the shitty part. I mean EVERY SINGLE Z HAS THE SAME FAILURE!! Doesn't that justify a recall?
@@waugy370z8 hahaha every Z owners literal thought process, but i talked to a friend of mine at nissan he says theyre assuming that people shouldnt be running their car hard enough to burn the csc up... Im just like um... sports car duhhhh lmao
I just watched it again 😆 Seriously man im so glad you made such a detailed video for this. I watched it again because mines getting done next weekend. The factory one didnt fail yet but i figured why wait ya know? Then i can stop worrying when i play around and do a good 1-2 shift. I only have 56k on it right now and the clutch holds good but im gonna put a new one in it while its tore apart. The one question I have though is i read about a thrust bushing and to not forget to replace it? Is that only if a clutch is replaced?
Waugy 370z dude I’m so new to any of this I bought a 2010 370 40th anniversary. I’ did a few launches ( a lil rough on the car) and from all my research I’m going to joining the clutch job fam lol
Why there's no recall on the csc issue. Isn't this a safety issue? If im waiting on stop light and its green.. if csc fails .. can u move the car to the side?
What would be the proper way to bleed the system on 370z/g37
Man I have a damn horror story of CSC issues. Pedal to floor, figured I'd get flywheel and clutch, flywheel is probably a bit to light cause the chatter is annoying. That shop jacked something up with bleeding it that I had to mess with it to get the pedal up to get out of there.... like 1 year or two later shits on the floor again so I took it to another spot and it's always been wishy washy. Pedal went to floor this year and fill up the reservoir every two days or so until I can make a decision on what to do. I don't want to ever again fix a CSC on it or I'm junking it is why I'm leaning heavy to just doing the elimination. Everyones thoughts were helpful and your vid made me feel much more comfortable about saving the $2500 of labor each time I had to spend....
Torx size on CSC & CSC tube oem?
Hello, great video I plan to do this but stuck between this kit or the elimination kit. How is it holding up?
So far she's been holding up great! Haven't had any issues with over 6 months of Daily Driving. About 30 miles a day gets put on our car and we've had no issues with the clutch.
Thanks man! Ill do some more research but really leaning towards this setup. My G37s is sitting.
@@db8g hey man what did you end up going with? Currently on the same boat you were on.
Sebastian Martinez me too, sitting VQ gang 😔✊🏼
Imanol.Tradicional saw your comment and figured I’d give you a hand. I ended up going with the z speed CSC and OEM master. I also have a JWT CLutch kit with a 16lbs flywheel. Car feels great and shifts like butter. If you have any other questions I’d be glad to help. My car say for a month so I got you :) haha
I have the same CSC. The only problem is the slave line doesn’t thread onto my cars line. And that’s a big issue?
Sounds like you might have gotten the wrong year or model one. My threaded in just like the OEM one did.
VEDEM RACING I have a 09 370Z. When I bought the car it already came with a stainless steel clutch line.
How did you bleed it?
Must I change the Master cylinder at the same time?
You don't technically have to, however it's highly recommended that it's replaced at the same time.
Yes, especially if you’re putting a stronger/aftermarket clutch in your car.
My Zspeed csc did not come with that green sleeve? Do we have different versions? Should I be concerned?
Nothing to worry about at all, I believe ZSpeed carries two versions, an OEM direct replacement and a Heavy Duty version. The OEM one I believe has a black sleeve and the HD is green. We simply paid a little extra for the heavy duty one. Whether it last longer than the OEM one. Only time with tell but we've put a solid 10k on ours with no issues.
@@VEDEMRACING99 Yea.. mine came with neither. The spring is exposed along with the other components. I figured it was to keep clutch material/dust out that’s why I’m concerned.
@@RzVids Ahhh nevermind then, it does sound like your boot is missing entirely. I would contact Zspeed and get that exchanged, I would not install it as it is supposed to have the boot.
@@VEDEMRACING99 I contacted them and they replied:
The new v3 slave does not have a rubber boot, it has the metal dust shield that covers once slave is installed and compressed. The rubber boots fail so we redesigned it with the metal shield.
How much power can this slave cylinders hold ?
Nice bro, will the z speed csc work with any clutch
It should work with any single disc clutch as far as we're aware. I believe dual and tripple clutches may require a different CSC. If you have any concerns with the clutch you're running. I would shoot Z speed an email, Their customer support is really good!
@@VEDEMRACING99 thanks
Should have just bought the delete kit instead.
My box didn’t come with instructions… did you have to grind the nubs off the trans front cover at all? Saw that step in a PDF but they may have been an older version… thanks
It's been a few years since this video came out so the process could have changed however, at the time of making this video I did not need to modify the nubs on the trans front cover at all. Everything was bolt in/plug and play.
I’m trying to remove the transmission now but it seems stuck on the left side somewhere. I removed all 14 bolts and it’s just not sliding out… 🤬🤬
The CSC just failed on my 2010 Z, waiting at a set of traffic lights at a busy junction then BAM! the clutch dropped to the floor and it wouldn't go into to gear 😳 it's booked in next week, dreading the garage bill
How many miles are you at ?
@@Steven-ey2nd 77000 I've hardly used it over the last 12 months, it's been parked most of that time
Quick question hope you answer soon: was your slave leaking fluid into the transmission? I have the same problem and wanna see if I can keep my current stock clutch rather than spending a ton of $. Just the csc and cmc will be a lot cheaper if I do decide to do it myself. I’ve been told that once fluid is in the clutch, it should be replaced. Just wanted to know if your csc was leaking fluid. Ty.
Mine was indeed leaking fluid into the transmission. Quite a lot actually and I did not replace the clutch and I have had zero issues with the clutch. The car has been driven daily.
hey I was told the same thing, ive brought my car to nissan theyve said that and another place has said the same
any news of what u ended up doing to urs?
Will this fit a 350z (VQ35HR)
Why didn’t you go with cmak csc delete kit? Although you put on a stronger csc why put a ‘heavy duty bandage when you can just get surgery’
After doing alot of research there have been alot of people that ran the upgraded CSC and have never had any issues with it even after 100k miles and Concept Z Performance will warranty these CSC's given they were installed correctly. I also didn't want to worry about the added steps of doing a delete kit as you have to pull the bellhousing off of the transmission and replace the front transmission cover. All in all it didn't seem worth the extra work so long as the new CSC does continue to work till at least 100k miles.
@@VEDEMRACING99 thanks for the video, planning on doing this for my 350z, hows it holding since last year?
The whole point of a csc is to get rid of a clutch fork , with agressive driving or clutch kicks with a heavier pressure plate they can warp or bend over time. Its happened in my s chassis
ik this video is so old but someone please help me. i just dropped 900 dollars on a new heavy duty csc and flywheel so the csc can work correctly. Is it 100% neccesary for me to change the master cylinder too immeditaly or can I wait a week or 2 before i do that. I dont want to damage all the new parts i just bought. and im dead broke now because I literally just bought the car and the csc faily the next day. really need this car back up and running because its my daily. If anyone sees this it would mean the world to me if you could respond
The main reason for changing out the Master Cylinder at the same time is to prevent previously contaminated fluid from the old master cylinder mixing in with the new slave cylinder, and potentially causing the new seal on the slave cylinder to prematurely fail. - The dealership is required to change the Master cylinder anytime a CSC is replaced.
I did this because our clutch fluid was badly contaminated with dust and grime from the old seal being bad for longer than we realized.
If you do not change the master cylinder at the same time as the slave cylinder then there's honestly not too much of a point in going back two weeks later to swap the master cylinder out. The cross contamination will have already happened.
If your fluid was pretty clean at the time of your swap you could take a chance and not swap it out. I simply did it for peace of mind and since my fluid was pretty bad.
Hope this helps man!
9:50 You still have the original clutch hose?
I ended up keeping the original hose that runs from the master cylinder to the junction outside of the transmission. As I mentioned in the video I flushed out the line with new fluid before connecting it to make sure it was clear of any contaminants.
@@VEDEMRACING99 I can’t get a wrench up there to crack the nut off or even take off the retaining bracket any ideas?
@@VEDEMRACING99 I think that would have been a nice change to make, but then I am still running completely stock on the transmission. Except I changed the fluid, used Motul as well. Haven't had any issues in 58k. But when the clutch fails. I'll replace the CSC with an upgrade and the clutch line too.
Is the slave still going?
The stupidest design of a slave cylinder inside the transmission. How did this even get approved for production
