Hey guys i recently changed my clutch. When i got the gearbox and driveline back together i found a strange problem, The master or slave cylinder shit itself. I bled the system and everything but it just doesnt work at all, Fluid is comming through but there is no hydraulic action. Would i have stuffed the seals? Or would i have stuffed the master or slave all together? Any help on what to do, or where to get new ones from that will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Phill

I'd say at a guess that's the way to go, possibly bleed the tube before the slave though...

The 2 times I have ever bled a clutch, I had to start with the master as the fluid reservoir was empty filling with air, so before fluid would flow down to the slave, i needed to bleed the master.

Have someone pump the pedal a few times, then hold the pedal bout 3/4's of the way to the floor. Crack open the bleed point and then tighten up within a second or so. Repeat that process until there is no more air bubbles present. Then move on to the other bleed points. Use some clear tube such as the type you would use for bleeding brakes so you can see the air bubbles clearly. Make sure you keep topping the fluid reservoir up. If it runs dry during the bleeding process, your going to have to start at the beginning again :P

Why did you bleed the slave in the first place? Did you change the slave? My guess ( only a guess) is that you ran the master cyl dry, so you need to bleed that first. Once you bleed tha master make sure you dont run it dry again ( dont let the fluid go very low, keep refilling it ). Then open the bleed valve on the slave and wait until fluid comes out. Leave it open until all bubbles are gone and thats it.

If you want to you can close the bleed valve and have someone pump the pedal for you and while they are holding the pedal to the floor, open the valve but close it before fluid stops coming out, repeat that until no bubbles come out .

Hope you just needed a good bleed and didn't kill anything.

If for some reason you need a new clutch master I have one brand new from Nissan that I bought for my car. It turned out I didn't need one (it was a shagged box). PM me if req'd.

Good luck!

well people, i bled it, and bled it good and propper, car is now on the road clocking up the k's bedding in the clutch before i can run some power through it. Thanks for all your help.

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
