^^^Yea I'm still under the engine/powertrain warranty...But are you sure you dont have to drop the tranny??? Explanation please because I couldn't figure it out today when I was under the car...

 

Yikes, sorry to hear about the slave.

Edit: I just noticed that you're running the JWT clutch and flywheel setup. That being said, I highly doubt Nissan will be covering that under any warranty. Maybe the recall? Also, if you were running the stock slave, it was probably only a matter of time before the slave blew. JWT seems notorious for blowing stock slaves on HR's. Since it's aftermarket, I would highly recommend you go with custompartz's heavy duty metal slave.

And I'm pretty sure the trans needs to be dropped since the CSC is inside the housing.
Let us know how things go. Good luck with the situation!

 

damn bro that sucks your slave gave out. the warranty will save your *** with this one. here's the recall:

and yes you do have to drop the tranny because on the 07+ the CSC is located inside the tranny bell housing. for the 03-06 it's more easily accessible.

 

Thanks for the tips guys, that makes sense about the JWT owning the slave...So heres the deal. I called a few dealerships...Basically the car had already had the recall performed (I believe in 08) before I was the owner. Also, that's apparently not a part of the transmission so the warranty wont cover it. Thankfully I can do the work myself, but I didn't want to pay for the parts. Since the CSC is located in the tranny, I'm gonna have to pull it, but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard...

 

And for the sake of forum entertainment...Here is what I am getting. I should never have this issue again...hopefully!

 

In for a detailed write up with a ton of pics!

 

You know it! haha

 

Glad it's not gonna rape you!

And two thumbsup for doing it your self!

 

The shop should get the part in Friday, so hopefully next week I can get the slave cylinder and get started...Need to get this done ASAP!

At least the car is aligned and everything else is in tip top shape!

 

nice neighborhood!

 

^I'll trade ya?

 

Car is looking great!


FYI: The rainbow effect on the headlights is from the polarized lens on the camera.

 

but you can see the rainbow effect with the bare eye...

 

Glare from the sun/light? Also, Demon Eyes maybe? Its gotta be the way you are looking/taking pics of the headlights in the light...

 

That sucks man...I hope I don't get the csc failure on my 08. Looks good overall!

 

I think it was only an issue on the 07's but I could be wrong

 

^^^Well heres a little update that may answer some questions. Basically, my stock slave cylinder could not handle my JWT clutch. Apparently, this is a common problem for any HR transmissions with an aftermarket clutch. Anyone with any kind of aftermarket clutch is prone to this kind of failure.

Here is a link for more info, which will explain why this part is needed for aftermarket clutches...After researching some, its definitely a great product to have that apparently hasn't failed on anyone yet.

Oh and btw, still waiting on the part...

 

Thanks for the info man! Hope it goes well!

 

Hopefully everyone learns by now when your clutch goes if youčre going aftermarket get this slave kit... sure, you can drop the trans whenever assuming you have the know how and space but it's avoidable if you're going aftermarket for a couple hundred bucks while you're down there.

Pics and log would be great though

 

How's the SC going?
