I've had a problem after some heavy winter driving, a sticky clutch. The clutch is fine, no slipping, no difficulty engaging gears, etc.

I informed one dealer that the cylinders were suspect. They told me I needed a new clutch, flywheel, and "pedal". Bull****, Fields Infiniti will never have my business again. $2300 my ***.

The second dealer was able to talk to an engineer who told them that the cylinders were the problem. Now, Infiniti is telling me that the cylinders aren't covered under warranty because they belong to the the manual drivetrain. Which apparantly IS NOT covered under warranty. They want $800 for the repairs.

I'm going to call corporate on monday to see if they can clarify the warranty issue, this should not be a wear and tear item at all... It should be drivetrain related.

Anyway, I can get both these parts new for less than $150. How difficult is it to access the slave cylinder?

Any info would be great.

 

the car has a bumper to bumper warranty until 60k

 

Apparently, the stealership said that Infiniti of America doesn't include the master/ clutch cylinders under the 6MT drivetrain coverage.

Coorporate is closed on the weekends so I have to call myself on monday.

This is bull****. if I can DIY for less than a few hundred bucks I can save the time and headache of trying to find a dealership that will do the warranty work.

 

since when my dealership changed them out under warranty

 

I got mine replaced for free with absolutely no hassle or BS.

 

That is complete crap. A bumper to bumper is just that except for common items like clutch, tires, etc. I would fight this one to the end!

 

that is BS! i am also one of the many whose master cylinder was replaced b/c it was sticky. they knew exactly what i was referring to and replaced it no questions asked.

 

DEFINATELY not a wear item! If it is, ask them where in the manual does it have the replacement interval schedule. Idiots!

 

If you have to get a list together of people who have had it done under warranty and take to the dealer.

 

Thanks guys. I'm waiting on corporate to talk with the dealer to see what needs to be done.

 

Not a bad idea, hopefully I don't have to go that far.

 

Good point, I'll remember that.

 

No, this has no effect on the friction point. The pedal sticks at the bottom below the friction point, sometimes it sticks when it travels back up to normal position. It's also intermittent, some days worse than others.

 

I hate dealers
