been having some trouble shifting. somtimes it is really hard to get into gear even when completly stopped, and every once in a while when going into reverse and first it will grind very slightly and the car will shake a little. i dont know what causes it, it did it one day but not the next, and i drove basically the same amount each day, temperature was pretty much the same as well. anyway, based on my readings of this board and the problem that i am having with my car, i think it would be wise to replace the slave and master cylinders of the clutch.

1. how much do these parts cost?2. i have seen nismo cylinders for sale, would that be a waste of money? should i just go with ones from the dealer?3. how does one go about replacing these parts? i have been told it is very simple; could anyone explain to me where these parts are located and how to change them out? (if your really bored you could always take a picture of it, that seems to help :D )

btw, this is on a '95 240sx se if it differs between models and years.

thankyou, anyone who responds to my post! :)

slave cyl. is easy to replace, master cyl is a bit harder since you have to disconnect it from the pedal underneath.

I bought a new slave cyl ($35) and master cyl ($45) from NAPA. Plus a little steel braided line going from the block to the slave cyl. ($20) optional.
