93 240sx had the clutch replaced and it doesnt work

[Diggity240sx]

Well I had the clutch replaced at 175,000 and the mechanic says my master or slave cylinder is bad had good pressure before but now i dont have ne. Could this be true or a mechanic goin for more money?

It's very plausible. A new oem slave cylinder can be had for about 40 bucks from http://www.midwaypartsteam.com or you can call them and ask for Mike Jones. Tell him you're from Nico. They're awesome

Ok next question is - The slave cylinder cap was cracked upon arrival back to me and I am wondering if the system was bled properly. The clutch will work for a bit if I pump the clutch while the car is off, but after a short period of time the clutch stops working. So if this is possible please let me know as I am gonna call my mechanic tommorow and talk with him about this. Thanks Guys alot of help has come from these forums and I am so close to taking my 240 and getting the paint then working the interior over, but I gotta stop spending on mechanics first...lol.

It sounds like the clutch system wasn't bled properly. i had a similar problem after i replaced my clutch. There are 2 bleed points in the system, the one on the slave cylinder and then there is one in this wierdly shaped manifold. If I remember correctly it s just inside the unibody rail, by the front of the passenger door of the car. I really didn't see a reason for this being there, but it does hold a crap load of air. Once i bled mine, my clutch worked like a charm.
