Neilp Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 has anyone experienced the clutch sticking to the floor when pulling away at a higher rev. its an 2006 model with 20000 miles on clock, it happened when i got the car at 16000 miles about 8 months ago. nissan didnt want to know and said i'd be liable for charges to inspect if no fault was found. the car is still under warranty as bought from a nissan dealership. cheers Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 might be the master clutch cylinder they are known to go, do you have to pump the clutch to get it to come back up? had it happen once when on the track on a very hot day, i think my clutch cylinder had temporarily seized due to the heat. pumped it it came back, not suffered since. Abbey m/s will have a good idea, as might zmanalex Quote
Neilp Posted January 14, 2010 Author Posted January 14, 2010 i had to put my toe under it and lift it. its feels as though no matter what gear your in if you high rev and allow the clutch to rise, theres hardly any pressure against your foot. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 The clutch slave cyls. are suspect and are replaced on a regular basis. A fluid change and bleed may help. The return valve in the master cyl. also gives problems but of a different nature than you are describing. As does the clutch pivot ball. Start with a fluid change and a bleed, if that does not cure it swop out the slave cyl. I have the slaves in stock if required and priced at around £70.00 Alex. Quote
Neilp Posted January 15, 2010 Author Posted January 15, 2010 nice one mate. how hard is the changeover to do when you really have slight ability in repairs, limited ability actually, cheers Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 whats your location, my advise if your close enough is to go somewhere like abbey m/s or DMS, they know the cars and can do it quickly and professionally. Quote
ZMANALEX Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 nice one mate. how hard is the changeover to do when you really have slight ability in repairs, limited ability actually, cheers Clutch slave is very easy to change providing it is the model with the slave on the outside of the gearbox. The later models require the gearbox to be removed. It is a two man operation to bleed the system and best done on a ramp. Alex. Quote
Neilp Posted January 16, 2010 Author Posted January 16, 2010 Cheers for the info lads.. It's added to my thing to do list! Quote
Walbertonio Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Hmm, think this rather describes my experience this morning, along with horrendous burning smell. After clutch released, it continued to work fine at low revs. I suppose when I'm feeling brave enough I'll see if I can repeat the problem, to confirm the bad news. Quote
Greekman Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Slave cylinder all the way!!!!! mine was replaced on warranty. dont leave it or you will need road assistance on mine it was a gearbox off job... and i think there is a nismo one which is a bit stronger as well... mine had about 18000miles when it happened although first time it got stuck for a few seconds on a track day at cadwell park whist slowing down from 130 to 90... the car had about 14000 miles then Quote
Walbertonio Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Ok, I think I'll PM Zmanalex to see if he has any going. Did take it out for another longer ride, all seemed fine at various levels of acceleration, but that smell was definetly still there when I parked up again. Quote
choptop Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Hope you get it fixed. Hey, joking aside, I wonder if Toyota's have a similar problem Quote
