I noticed the rubber on my clutch slave cylinder is leaking. Is there a rebuild kit for this? If so, what part number? I took out the clutch dampening and connect the mastercylinder line to SS directly to the slave. The effect is not there due to I believe the leaking slave cylinder. Please help.

Replace the cylinder and bleed the system. Clutch cylinders aren't too expensive, around 40USD... I believe Nissan does make a rebuild kit thats around 10USD too though.. I don't know how well that will work though.

mine just went out too, i got a new slave cylinder for 20 bucks at autozone. It doesnt look like its the highest quality piece of equipment in the world though.

the rebuild kit works beautifully. it takes maybe ten extra minutes to remove, rebuild and reinstall vs. replacing altogether.

the install and bleeding of my slave cylinder was a success, even though i knew nothing about how to do it.

I used the worlds cheapest slave cylinder ever, i dont know how long it will last.

Good thing i plan to swap this spring or summer. Buy a good one if you plan to keep it for more than a few months.

Like I said the OEM Nissan unit is 40 bucks. HT and P2M have the Nismo unit for 150. They both also have the Nismo clutch fork pivot.
