ahhh shot me now...... OK I need help guys. I've replaced the slave, the clutch master, and the hard line (thats everything). For some reason I'm still getting compressed bubbles (looks like soda fizz). After each bleed the clutch pedal feels awesome, but after I drive the car for like 20 mins the pedal becomes super soft again, hardly engaging. So I bleed it and once again all the fluid looks like compressed air bubbles. I go through this cycle over and over again. I still can't figure out whats wrong.

original thread, but not getting much help (online nissan mechanic).

you have that dampener loop? Also did you tighten the bleeder valves enough?

I had the dampener loop. I took it out b/c I didn't think it did much (seemed like extra junk). I havn't reinstalled it. Yes the bleeder valve is closed and tight.

Sounds like the same problem I had when I needed to replace my master clutch cylinder.

^^^ LOL did you solve it? I'll try installing the loop again tommorow, and test it again.

keep that pos loop out of your clutch system. If there's air entering your system, it could be from any of the lines (did you put any threading compounds on the lines/connections?)

Are you talking about RTV or like thread lock blue stuff.
