Maybe you guys can help me? I just had my Slave Cylinder changed from Nissan with a nismo one, and now my clutch engages all the way to the floor. It also does not release all the way out. It gets stuck. I have to lift it up with my foot to get it to come up. I've always this that problem with the clutch pedal, NOT TO THIS EXTREME but, I thought that changing the Slave Cylinder would fix the problem it didn't. I've also changed the clutch with a clutch master stage 2 about a year a go and still had the same problem. Is there some kind of adjustment that i can do? Or do i need a new master cylinder?

when u push the fork back over the pivot make sure it clicks and locks. and try bleeding your clutch some more.

sounds like you need to....youll have to have some one pump it up a few time and then hold it to the floor...then on the slave there is a bleeder and if you have the dampener box still there is on in there to...while the pedel is on the floor open the bleeders and the fluid will sqirt out and then stop...close the bleeders and repeat the steps a few times.....make sure you done run out of fluid in the resevior

Probably the best way to bleed it is to attach a bleeder hose to the bleed valve on the slave cylinder. have the bleeder hose going into an open container filled with a couple of inches of brake fluid so that the hose in submerged in brake fluid. Have someone in the car pumping the clutch pedal gradually after you open the bleeder valve. It will let air go out, but it won't let air go back in. Pump the pedal until only a solid stream of fluid is seen in the bleeder hose. Anytime time you are changing a part out on a hydraulic system like the clutch or brakes, there is usually less air to bleed if you draw fluid into the part and bleed the air out before the part is installed.
