Inspect your slave cylinder but it honestly just sounds like you need to bleed/refill the fluid.

[bias]

I agree. I had to replace my slave cylinder and it took forever to bleed it. I had to refill the master cylinder like 3 times. It's not that much fluid in it and if it get's too low you have to start all over again.

Yeah check your slave cylinder and master cylinder...I had to replace both of mine. But most likely you justneed to continue bleeding it to make sure every last bit of air is out of the system.

ok the clutch master cylinder right the one on the transmission ? the master cyliner is what the brake is connected to right

[240sxbobbis]

whats the silver box everyone is talking about ?? that u have to bypass?

[float_6969]

The clutch master is what the pedal is connected to. The clutch slave is what what is bolted to the side of the transmission.

The dampener box is usually bolted to the side of the frame rail and that is where the line goes to that leaves the clutch master.

hey float i cant remember seeing that can u post up a pic for me if u have one thanks

[iliketocrash]

you can't miss it. just follow the clutch line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder. if you have just one straight line from one to the other then you're golden. however, if it goes from the master to a little solid metal box and then from the box to the slave then you just bypass the box.

what beats me is how do u bleed it when its like that now does anyone know float????/

[iliketocrash]

you bleed the box ALOT. then you bleed the slave cylinder ALOT. that's the order if i remember correctly. it should tell you in the FSM. i attempted to do it myself and it worked but the pedal never felt quite right. On top of that it took me 3 hours and a lot of break fluid. The whole dampening box/system is merely a creature comfort and if you ask me should just be done away with. It's way more work than it's worth.

you may have to adjust the pedal free play also. did you notice the nut on the rod sticking out of the back of the master? there is an adjustment for the pedal.

as far as bleeding, fill the reservoir, have someone inside the car pump the pedal about 5 times, and hold it on the last pump. go under the car, it helps if you have a glass bottle and a rubber hose that fits on the bleeder. put a little fluid in the bottle, put one end of the hose on the bleeder, put the other end in the bottle. as your friend/mother/gay roomate/ whatever holds the pedal, open the bleeder. watch the air bubles. close the bleeder,

repeat, pump, hold, open, watch air bubbles, close, repeat, till you see no more bubbles.
