Another CSC failure... CMAK going in.
So, the POS OEM slave finally failed at 100k miles, and I replaced it reluctantly with a new OEM-replica slave cylinder that I had available in a pinch. Well, let’s say it made it TWO HUNDRED f’n miles before it blew again, during the second bleed while it was in the air (pedal never felt right). Today, I got my
ZSpeed CMAK Relocation Kit. Any thoughts or other experiences besides the ones already posted here regarding this system? Seems to be bulletproof... going back together tomorrow after I powder-coat the trans gunmetal (I know, I know...). Thoughts? 🤔 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....725499343.jpeg 7/2:CSC failed. Old clutch out, trashed by brake fluid soaking it. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....7ee972431.jpeg Friday 7/5: New CSC fitted. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....b4c725af9.jpeg Friday 7/5: New clutch in. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....9af98b10f.jpeg 7/9: Brand new CSC dies. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....1184d8893.jpeg 7/11: Trans out for cleaning/powder-coat tomorrow. https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....0e962d4fa.jpeg 7/11:ZSpeed CMAK arrives. Hoping for the best (a reliable clutch SC). #FAIL Nissan. BIG fail. (Although the second slave I used was an OEM replica, but regardless). |
As expected, this system works AMAZING. Better than it ever was with the OEM slave! 💪

Built like a tank, just like the rest of the system! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/my350z....7a19e74b7.jpeg CMAK installed! Works great! |
glad everything work out for you and now you can enjoy the drive again :)

Meeeeeeee too!!! 💪🙏

China parts don't work!
Glad you like the CMAK, It is pretty awesome! |
Concentric clutch throw outs are used by many manufactures and they are all prone to premature failure so it's not an exclusive Nissan problem. We are lucky in that the system can be converted to an external setup.

As a mechanical engineer, I’m well aware that many manufacturers “created shit” with these designs. Horrible idea, reasoning-be-damned. There isn’t a car or truck on the road that doesn’t have room beside the trans-case for a slave/bracket. 🤦*♂️
