Clutch Slave Cylinder?

[thatjonokid]

on my 2 minute drive from work home, I came up to an intersection and the clutch made a popping sound and then the pedal has lost all pressure and car wont go into gear.

from what I can see there is no fluid leakage and there is no grinding noise etc

before today the clutch took up as soon as it lifted of the firewall...really solid feeling.

clutch is a 5-10k old exedy sports tuff (pink pressure plate one)

am i right in assuming that this is the slave cylinder or maybe master cylinder?

could it be a bearing?

Pivot ball?

When you push the pedal down, does it stay down?

yea kinda comes off the floor but no pedal pressure

pedal bracket possibly if you heard it from inside. Is the pedal straight position wise?

OR, your vacuum booster might be busted..

I had that clutch not disengaging, and pedal has no pressure problem previously, and it turned out to be the clutch vacuum booster. After changing the master/slave cylinders. But check out the pivot ball, since you have a 32.

EXACT same thing happened in my R33 GTS-T this arvo. Pushed clutch in to go from 1st to 2nd, heard snapping/crack sound, clutch still engaged and cant change gears.

I've had the exact thing happen with my old VL too, it turned out that there's a spring inside the master cylinder that isn't only for pushing the pedal back out and it had snapped into 3 pieces. It it somehow required to allow the fluid to be pushed towards the slave cylinder too.

I'm hoping that I have the same problem with my R33 now. Either that, or like you said the slave cylinder could be farked somehow, or the pivot joint broken.

If you're up for it, remove the master cylinder and dismantle it. Check out that everything is as it should be inside. From what I remember, they're fairly simple - it should at least be easy to see if that's the problem. Worst case scenario after doing this is you've ruled it out as the problem and given it a clean anyway

found out it was the pin that connects the actuator for the master cylinder to the pedal.

split pin fell out and the pin/rod that went through the fork wasn't through the bracket

bent the fork back and pin in and oualla!

Just for future reference, THIS is what's wrong with my clutch....
