Clutch Slave Cylinder?

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?

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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      Bonnet clearance?

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.

      Finding E-30 & E-85 in Sydney

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      This seems like a pointless exercise. There is no E30 availability. Ongoing availability of E85 should not be assumed. Flex-fuel is the only sensible approach, so you can use E85 when and where you can get it, 98 when that's al you can get, and anything in between as you fill it up and drain it down. And if that means replacing the pumps, fitting a flex capable sensor/ECU/whatever has to be done to these Renault shitboxen, then.....so be it?
