[BW_GTOWN]

I have no clutch pedal........had a little and could drive......changed slave and never got it pumped bak up.......suggested bad part so i replaced the slave again.....i still cannot get pedal......iu bled and bled both bleeder valves.......someone suggested maybe my master cylinder had gone out......no prob but the parts store asked if it was 5/8 bore..........I got no clue.......its a 1993 240sx plain......lol..........any help would be greatly appreciated......

Wow you guys are so helpful i think ill post to myself.......Well i now have a new clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder.......after days of bleeding i still have to pump my pedal.......no leaks or anything.......friend says to bypass pedal softener loop......any ideas......anybody?

theres 2 different M/C's one for ABS and one not iirc. one is a little bigger. thats why they asked.

edit: he meant clutch and i was thinking brake(too early for last nights escapades)

you may need to "bench bleed" it. fill it up with fluid while out and then install and bleed. theres been a couple times that has worked for me on my 240 and suby.

and there are 2 different pad sizes between ABS and non ABS one uses smaller M/C size. i unfortunately had the odd hard to find one on my one 240(91 LE non hicas).

i believe he meant clutch master cylinder, don't see why would there be 2 1 for abs 1 for non.

take out the clutch damper, it goes between the hard line from the master and the softline from the slave, just take out the whole unit and reroute the hardline to the soft.

after that, try bleeding the clutch again.

If you replaced both master and slave than you still have air bubbles, bypass the dampner and bleed it well!

[nifares240]

the dampener is there for a reason. if you bypass this, the clutch feel will stiffen up and stresses the clutch master cylinder more. you have to bleed it for a long time.

open clutch master cylinder. put fluid in. close master cylinder lid. open bleeder valve. pump 2-4 times. close bleeder valve. drive.

No it doesn't. Bypass that b****! I had the exact same problem before I bypassed mine. Now bleeding it is a cinch.

open clutch master cylinder. put fluid in. close master cylinder lid. open bleeder valve. pump 2-4 times. close bleeder valve. drive.

That's not really right at all.You can leave the master cylinder lid open while you bleed it... and you are going to want someone to pump the pedal with the bleeder valve CLOSED, then hold their foot to the floor while you crack the bleeder valve open. Close the bleeder valve, and start pumping again. Keep doing this til there are no more bubbles... then do it like 2x more haha. Make sure you keep enough fluid in the reservoir so you don't run dry and suck in air.
