Clutch Problems :s

[thrtytwo]

thismorning out of the blue my clutch pedal started to stick, it would flip back after a second or two

after a little driving it got worse, the clutch was engaging further down the stroke and the pedal wouldnt pop back out unless i pulled it with my feet

after leavbing it for a while and driving later on the pedal would go all the way in and only JUST engage the clutch at the last stretch, was having to force gears in, pedal wouldnt come out uinless i pulled it

left the car when i got home for 10 mins max, went to move it and the clutch pedal wont engage the clutch at all, therefore i cant put it in gear, i tried to force it into reverse and the car stalled

wats my problem :S ???

note: a few weeks ago i decided to try and lube up the pedal cos it had been squeaking when i pushed it

i used WD40 or some other similar lubricant/water dispersant. i think i used too much seeing as it all dripped down the pedal and just soaked into the carpet and i now have a nice slippy patch under the clutch lol. thought id let u know incase the WD40 might of done something ???

if u have an answer for me ill be eternally greatfull

it sounds like your clutch's master cylinder, may have leaked out all of the liquid, check to see if there is any fluid in the cylinder under your hood

[thrtytwo]

yeh i was thinking that, alsmo might explain what the squaking and grime on the pedal was, hmm ill go look now

if thats the case do i need a nwe one or can i just top it up ??

[sam5709]

if it is the case, im pretty sure you will need a new one

[thrtytwo]

hmm i had a look and if its the little one in the top left side of the engine bay then yeh its empty

ill just go buy some fluid as a temp fix and get a new cylinder at the weekend, hopefully it will hold up

[thrtytwo]

all fixed for now but i guess ill get it looked at on the weekend

strange though, thers no visible leakage :S ?

p.s. thanks for the help !

you can buy a rebuild kit from nissan. you get your seals etc. just make sure you hone the cylinder out.

but i guess if your not sure what im saying, leave it to proffesionals!
