bezza1121 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi All, Recently have been having issues in that gear changes and clutch have felt inconsistent beyond normal, it's been good on the whole but feel something is not right. i.e the pedal feel varies and have recently found that particularly going from 1st gear into 2nd gear it does not like it very much i.e. feels like I haven't fully disengaged 1st sometimes so have to double de-clutch to get second and slowly go in doesn't crunch or grind though. In conjunction with this there is a slight notchiness .Infact recently I have been skipping 2nd gear as have to change really slow as fear of grinding the gears but when it behaves it goes in nicely if that makes sense. Then some days I get in and it is absolutely butter smooth through all the gears. I am genuinely at a loss with what is up with the silly thing. Today It did something new.... After work was at fast cold idle just started up and not touching anything a kinda thud type noise came from the transmission and the revs dropped, was defiantly a gear noise like a mild selecting from a low to two gears higher type noise, clutch felt something not right about it then later on in my drive gear changes were spot on, it's driving me up the wall. Tried to bleed the clutch fluid last week also and had no luck opened the bleed nipple followed all procedures and it would not pump through no leaks or anything (suspect the bleed nipple is blocked, did not want to disconnect hose incase it causes an additional issue and need car atm). I'm aware that there may be an issue with either the master and slave cylinder and / or clutch but I'm genuinely at a loss with this. I'm confident I can fix it but it's knowing exactly what is wrong with it. Think will have to take it to specialist on here to have a look at it if get no luck. Does this issue sound familiar?

gareth29 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Mine just got to the point where I couldnt select any gears, until I bled the slave cyl, then it would be ok for a while before the problem returned (fairly quickly). Fitting a new slave, braided line and fresh fluid has sorted it completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bezza1121 Posted March 23, 2017 Author Share Posted March 23, 2017 Thanks had my suspicions on it, today all gears were smooth as silk , which confirms unlikely the gearbox and clutch bites fine. Think will go with your reccomendation so next few weeks will sort it hopefully . Did the bleeding go ok with the new slave cylinder fitted? will be bleeding using manual method 2 persons as shown in nissan service manual hopefully should go ok, process of elimination I guess.

gareth29 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yes bleeding went fine, just make sure you keep the reservoir topped up which is a pain cos its tiny. I think I drew a bit of air into the line at one stage so it took a bit longer than it shouldve. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bezza1121 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thankyou for the advice It's gonna be a challenge this one!!! always end finding other bits too ,just discovered some of the bolts on rear suspension components appear quite rusted and surface rust on rear suspension mounts plus two specs on wheel arch (might need a professional for rust) guessing it's technically a banger now as its a 2005. so need to address this also looks like I'll be busy on top of this been sorting some minor bits over the past day, new pads , bulbs general bits for MOT. In the process of moving house also , only downfall is will have no garage least weather is on the up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
