Car Forum / Nissan / Nissan Cars / April 2005'92 240SX clutch fluid leaked out
Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, The fluid leaked out of the clutch master cylinder inside the car. So I replaced the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder. I am having a very hard time getting any pedal. Bled and bled and bled till no air comes out but the pedal wont come off the floor. What am I doing wrong. Thanks jessie66 Check for a 2nd fluid line that branches off between the master and slave cylinders... doesn't actually go anywhere but it needs to be bled too if you have one. > Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, > The fluid leaked out of the clutch master cylinder inside the car.

Then you will be good. > Check for a 2nd fluid line that branches off between the master and slave > cylinders... doesn't actually go anywhere but it needs to be bled too if [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks > > jessie66 Been there, done that. The answer is to pressurize the system. The trick I used (which I picked up from the Internet) involved a bicycle inner tube (don't get a skinny 10 speed tube) and an old fashioned (hand operated) air pump. Cut the inner tube in half (not too close to the valve). Fold one end over several times and clamp it to form a seal. Stretch the other end over the open resevoir of the clutch master cylinder and pump air into it. Once you have sufficient pressure built up, you'll be able to bleed the rest of the air out of the system. Good luck Tracy '89 240SX >Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, >The fluid leaked out of the clutch master cylinder inside the car.

For god sake man , once is enough. > Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, > The fluid leaked out of the clutch master cylinder inside the car.

It turned out to be the junction box between the Clutch Master cylinder and the Slave cylinder that was bad. No Auto part store knew of this part so off to the dealer we went. $44.00 for the part and $162.00 at the local shop to have them bore out the bolts that broke off while trying to replace the original part ourself. The clutch works just fine now. Thanks again, Tom & Karla > Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance, > The fluid leaked out of the clutch master cylinder inside the car.

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> Thanks >> jessie66 Outta Nowhere, Sorry for the delay, I've been busy. From the Master cylinder at the top left side of the engine compartment follow the lines accross the top back of the engine wall, down the right side of the engine, down below the transmission approximately below the passengerside seat.A black junction box with a bunch of lines connected. That's it. One set of the lines went from the junction box to the slave cylinder closer to the front of the underside of the engine. Others just looped back and went to nothing.Not all have this but I've heard Chevy does the same thing for their brake master cylinders. Thanks againe for your help in solving our dilema.
