Can a after market clutch cause the stock slave cylinder to go bad????
Below is a more in depth story of what has been happening to my 350z 2007 with 29,000 miles on it.

Thanks,
Mark


I put an after market clutch on my 350z at 9,000 miles from 350z parts in Atlanta. The Nissan mechanic(Montgomery) recommended it because he said it was a superior clutch. At 27,000 miles the slave cylinder went out...then a few month later went out again but this time they replace the entire transmission because the mechanic(Birmingham) did not know anything about the after market clutch so he did not know that it makes increase trans noise. Then 1 month later later the pedal goes to the floor again and and they replace the master cylinder. Then 3 days after they replace the master cylinder the pedal goes to the floor again and they claim it is the slave cylinder again. Now they are trying to say the after market clutch is causing the slave cylinder system to go bad because it is built upon some time of specific pressure system and this is the last one they will put on under my warranty.

Wasn't there a 07 recall for the slave cylinder? I'm not sure what they'll do with the aftermarket clutch on it though.

what are the signs of a bad slave or master cylinder? Is it just the pedal dropping to the floor? my clutch is getting so weak(can barely feel the catch points), but my car has never been raced or really bagged on.

I only have 22k miles, so I find it hard to believe my clutch is dying.

Mine pedal has been "sticking" when its good and warm. I've had it back to the dealership twice and they say they can't get the problem to happen. I know theres quite a few posts on here about what the culprit could be master cylinder, fluid, line, pedal, spring, etc. I don't think the pedal just drops. I could be wrong though. Regardless of aftermarket clutch, it the slave was a recall on the 07's they should replace it. Just my opinion. Then again, I can't get the dealership to fix mine either, as I've wasted to appointments taking it there. My next step is another dealership.

its the CSC.......search for CSC replacement where peeps use the "DE" tranny plate cover and use a pivot ball and use a custom mount to use a DE slave.

This is for the TS's problem right? Any insight on what I might be experiencing?

I know this is a very old post but I have issue with my slave cylinder and replace it three times. The slave cylinder also came from the Nissan dealership.
