Clutch Fluid Gone.

I was driving my car in 95+ weather, and my clutch pedal went soft, and I look in the clutch reservoir and the fluid was going down until it was gone. I looked under and seen a puddle of fluid leaking under the transmission area.

Can Someone point me in the right direction.
Car is a 2008 g37s coupe 93k miles.

Concentric Slave Cylinder failure. Fairly common from my understanding.

^^^ Yup.

My first one went at 40,000 miles and then 2 weeks ago at 82,000 miles.
Expect to pay a little over $1,000 for replacement. $200 for the part and 8-10 hours labour.

Thanks but I was thinking maybe a heavy-duty slave cylinder. Any good Brands for a decent price?

Just went through this myself. List of parts I used. Of course not all necessary.

RJM Performance Clutch Assembly w/ Heavy Duty Clevis End
RJM Performance Clutch Master Cylinder w/ SS clutch line
South Bend Stage 2 Daily Clutch & 17lb Flywheel w/ CMAK, quite disc

The CMAK relocates the CSC to the outside of the transmission.

Wow, my mechanic only charged me I believe somewhere around $500 for labour and part when I replaced my CSC a couple months ago
