Concentric slave cylinder failure on the Nissan 370Z is usually caused by low or leaking clutch fluid, which can wear out parts and create other problems like a worn clutch.
Clicking sound from the rear wheel when it is turning
The axle nut on the 370Z and its retainer stretch apart and loosen despite the extra security from the cotter pin
Purchase a specially-designed aftermarket nut that has locks built in so it can be torqued without loosening
Engine spits and sputters when driving
Low fluid in the fuel tank can move around and cause the fuel tank to draw in air
Prevent fuel starvation on the 370Z by keeping the gas tank closer to FULL
370Z may enter accessory mode but won’t start and the steering wheel won’t unlock
A broken electronic steering control lockout (ESCL) module can keep the steering wheel from unlocking. If the steering wheel can’t unlock, the 370Z won’t start.
Engine ticking/knocking, especially when accelerating
Low oil level causes high oil consumption. If the oil level is not low, see if the engine is near the oil change interval
