djtimo Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Wright guys i have a big problem. Over the past few days i thought my clutch was catching on my floor mat on the up stroke after a gear change. I thought nothing of it but tonight i came to a stop at my girlfreinds house and dipped the clutch to go into nutral and i heard a bang and the clutch pedel went all the way to the floor and did not return up??? I have been searching my350z and rang Phil and so far i have the following theorys? air in the system broken presure plate settings on the clutch pedel slipped I have noticed that the fluid in the clutch header tank was at the min mark so it may be air ?? If i bend down and pump the clutch pedel by hand it has no resistance and just goes up and down. As i pump the pedel the fluid in the header tank drops from max to min after 15-20 pumps? If i leave the clutch pedel depressd the header level stays the same, but if i bring the pedel back to the top of its stroke then the fuild header fills back up to full?? I needs some help guys as i have wales meet on sunday and i may not get it sorted before japfest!!!!! HELP!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zummertor Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Re-take didn't read what you said properly. Any signs of leaks ? I guess start with bleeding the system: Bleeding ACS004N1 CAUTION: Monitor fluid level in the reservoir tank to make sure it does not empty. Do not spill clutch fluid onto painted surfaces. If it spills, wipe up immediately and wash the affected area with water. 1. Fill the master cylinder reservoir tank with new clutch fluid. 2. Connect a transparent vinyl hose to the air bleeder. 3. Depress the clutch pedal quickly and fully a few times and hold it. 4. With clutch pedal depressed, open air bleeder. 5. Close air bleeder. 6. Release clutch pedal and wait for 5 seconds. 7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 until no bubbles can be observed in the brake fluid. 8. Tighten air bleeder to the specified torque. Refer to CL-11, "Removal and Installation" .

GIXXERUK Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Sounds like your clutch master cylinder is shot +1 seal in the slave cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 I`d guess at slave cylinder too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 unless you can see a leak then its the slave cylinder, the seal goes and allows the fluid past hence it then looks low in the reservoir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
