: My clutch slave cylinder went to pieces Friday morning on the way into work in the middle of downtown traffic. I had some fluid with me so I was able to top off the cylinder and get to work and back. I picked up a new cylinder and installed it in 5 minutes Saturday morning but then proceeded to bleed it for a 1/2 hour and it got driveable but I suspect there is still some air in there. I looked around a found some tips on www.motorvate.ca for bleeding the clutch that sound good. I am going to try again tonight before I do the clutch itself. The coolest thing I found searching around for bleeding advice was this post from Jeff on the org: : http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=64046 : I will defintely be making one of those at some point. If space wasn't going to be an issue in my next appartment then I would make it now, but I'm already getting grief about from the GF about several other items she doesn't feel are needed so it might be real hard to get approval for space to store the bleeder. Nice job with that Jeff. : -MP
When you finally get fluid going through there, be sure to watch and make sure you don't empty the reservoir. it'll go dry in about 4 pumps once you get it going. the biggest problem is that the cylinder itself gets an air bubble, which goes nowhere. best way to bleed the system is with a vacuum or pressure bleeder.
