Leaking Clutch Fluid

[Pat O]

Hi all,

The clutch fluid has been leaking consistently from my r32 for the past month or so, and I have just been refilling it when needed. However, I think it's about time I had it fixed.

I recieved a quote from a workshop of around $500 to replace the slave/master cylinders(with new items I believe), but I am wondering if there are any other options. Is it a good idea to replace both cylinders(assuming only one is faulty)? How about wreckers... or is this just asking for more trouble? anyone had this problem before? Help would be great, cheers.

Haha, I'm glad you said that... I was getting worried that 500 was the amount I was going to have to cough up. Dealing with mechanics is still new to me.

Moodles, cheers for the link, very likely I'll be buying from there. Now if only I knew where the leak is coming from I wouldn't have to buy both...

Put a kit through it, it'll cost about $30-50.

The quote of $500 seems rather pricey. However, it is good practice to replace both cylinders even if only 1 is faulty.

I'd ask around and get more quotes.

A recon kit. It has the seals and piston rubbers in it. Put one through your master and while you're at it, drop one into your slave.

Go to Nissan, a brake parts store, or an auto store like Stupid Cheap to buy them.
