Help! Clutch Died

[Benzino33]

Hey guys, In the past couple of days my clutch started going wierd, the friction point felt lower than normal, but it still drove fine.

on sunday, took it to the gf's house in the afternoon and while parking, noticed it became hard to get into gear. so i left it for a few hours, came back and it was fine, drove it home.

Now I left it there for a day and a half(didnt needd to drive anywhere).

I got up for work yesterday, started up and it wouldnt let me get into gear at all! /the clutch felt wierd as well, it lost pressure to the halfway point had a bit at the other half, but still didnt engage the gears. I left it there and after work came to have a closer look. found my master cylinder was empty so i bought some clutch fluid, put some in to the max point while the clutch was stepped in. didnt make a difference. I looked under the car and noticed a leak on the right side of the gearbox (slave cylinder i assume).

now the clutch has no pressure at all, it will drop all the way to the bottom and not come up(needs to be pulled up). what do i need to do? will i need a new cylinder or can it be repaired?

Bad time of the year for my car to do this,,I was meant to go away today..dnt think thats happening:(

Yep. You need to change the slave cylinder and possibly the master cylinder too.

Try your local ABS store, they should be open and have the 19mm slave cylinder kit to be able to get you going again.

the part is cheap, i cant recall the number off the top of my head but they are between 12-19 from autobarn or repco. (rb20 is same as sr20 and is the 180b part number jb4055, r33 P/N i cant recall atm)

Yeah the two possible part numbers are K791S and K1008S

Also I'm pretty sure the JB4055 doesn't fit the RB20 Trent. They bolt up and work but the pushrod is usually at an angle which causes the cup seal to wear out within 6 months.

I think the number you need is JB4184. I could have them around the wrong way though.

Neither of those part numbers fit an R33 though. The slave cylinder is genuine only for an R33

good job ^^ your memory is better than mine i can now only recite blitz and trust catalog part number off the top of my head.... used to be the bendix and md spares books aswell but now there is no chance

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Anyways, I checked it again yesterday and suddenly, the clutch had pressure in it again. It took most of wat was in the master cylinder though, so i topped it up.,,ran fine for a while but died on me a while later, after a few pumps of the clutch it was good again. I think the slave is still leaking tho so im takin it easy till i get the slave replaced. Thanks for giving me the part numbers, will make this a lot easier. Let u kno how i go, Happy new year guys
