My automatic transmission has 40000 and it's already slipping going from 5th gear to 4th gear also when I do a hard stop the vehicle won't accelerate for a sec then it will jump into gear.
Concentric slave cylinder in my manual transmission went out and failed randomly while I was driving. The clutch just got stuck to the floor and I could not get it back up. This is dangerous because you do not know when it is going to fail and leaving you stranded on the middle of the highway.
Csc (clutch pressure) is failing. Many 370z drivers are having this issue.
Dash starts unexpectedlly to crack and fall apart. Even when my vehicle has tint in windows since new. Transmission always noisy until you press down the clutch.
As I was driving during heavy business hours my clutch stayed stuck all the way to the bottom, without me being able to shift. I got in to a parking lot and the car did not want to start anymore, so I had to tow it to a Nissan dealership. At the dealership they diagnosed it and claimed it is the csc.
Was driving on the service road as I exited off the highway and I lost clutch pressure. This is a very common problem in the 370z and Nissan needs to fix this. There are hundreds of owners who have had this issue. I was left stranded on the service road with no clutch pressure.
Early in 2015 my clutch started sticking when the weather got colder and after doing research I found that this was a common issue with the csc seal gong bad. I even told Nissan that it was bad took it in for service and the only thing they did was put in the same type of clutch fluid used in the gtr, after getting the car back and driving for a week the clutch started to stick again and I once again told them it was the csc seal that was going bad and they finally took the clutch apart to see what I was saying was correct and they replaced it with the stock csc that Nissan uses knowing that failure again was possible. Well here it is less than a year later and I am having the same issues with the clutch either sticking or going all the way to the floor now that the temperature is dropping. I have a call into the dealership to find out if its still under warranty! Nissan knows there is an issue with its stock csc seal but continues to used them in their vehicles.
When go from park to reverse rear make clunk noise as soon as the car start moving, or driving at low speed when step on gas it also make clunk noise. Brought the car to dealership thinking its under manufacture 5 year/50k power train warranty only to find out its a not a warranty item and would not be covered. But its TSB number ntb12-055d. And its okay to keep driving with out the repair. Not sure if it would get worst over time will have to wait till it causes accident. Not feel safe driving the car with those noise.
The clutch slave cylinder failed on me. I hear this is a known problem in 370z's among the rest of the 370z community yet the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge that it's a common problem.
I started out of my drive when as I start out in 1st gear the car stailed. . Because the clutch which normally catches half way out was now all of sudden catching right as my foot was leaving the fire wall. Which I know was not normal. . How ever being a hydrolic system I checked the fluid reservor to see if it was low. The system was with in the min and max level I contiued on when only a mile or so down the road the clutch peddle now stuck to the floor and would not release from the fire wall. It would only move 2 inches in or 2 inches out. It still would allow me to shift. I limed the car home and since it was Sunday and the dealerships are not open I had to wait to Monday morning Aug. 11th to contact the dealer. When I started to car up Monday the car would no longer allow me to shift into any gear at all. I called nissian north town in austin, TX to have the car towed in.
Driving back home after work (30 min drive) city, clutch became soft and delay its way back to normal position shifting to 3rd gear. Driving conditions where 50mph, 23mpg at 7pm.
There is a recurring issues with this vehicle where if driving long distances suddenly the clutch would go to the floor and eventually lose all resistance and make the car undrivable. I discovered this shortly after I purchased the vehicle at 20000 miles. I took it back to the place I purchased from and because it was intermittent they could not reproduce the issue. The next time it happened I was told to take it to the dealer. The problem came back and I was told I needed to make an appointment at the dealer. By the time I took it to the dealer it was again not happening so they were not able to find the problem. Saturday the 18th of Jan. It happened again and I was able to take it to the dealer while it was happening. They found the problem was the slave cylinder leaking but because now I am over the warranty Nissan will not cover the issue. I have researched this issue and seen several people complaining about the intermittent issue with the clutch that goes to the floor with very low miles on the car. The issue seems to be that the part that breaks is plastic and Nissan hasn't redesigned it since the 350z models that also experience the same issue. Please can someone look into this?.
Clutch master cylinder failed. I was on a highway and was unable to shift the car into a different gear. I barely made it off the highway where I was towed to the dealership. The clutch just completely lost pressure.
Rear diff failed due to overheating, replacement unit failed 6 months later.
