Hey guys, came from the 240 world but I daily a Maxima now. For the record the car is a factory 5 speed car, not a swap. Recently it's developed an issue where the clutch seems to start to engage while the pedal is pushed all the way to the floor. Seems like the fluid is leaking past the piston in the master or slave cylinder and allows the clutch to slip out regardless of pedal position. Its still driveable but needless to say quite annoying, and its getting worse. My question is; has anyone else run into this? Is it for sure one of the clutch cylinders and if so which one is more likely the cause? Or is there something else I'm not seeing that can cause this problem as well? Thanks for your help.

I've never personally seen this problem, but I believe you are correct in your thinking about it being one of the cylinders. The hydraulic system is relatively small for the clutch, and an external leak should be very easy to spot.
