Neilp Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Could be a master or slave cylinder issue. Either could be leaking. Did u check the clutch fluid level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Did u try lifting it up by hand and pumping it to pressurise it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZMANALEX Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 If your car is a 350 DE and if not a hydraulic issue then it will more than likely be a broken clutch fork ball pin or broken clutch fork. If it is an HR it will more than likely be a burst CSC. All parts are in stock and good to go same/next day if required. Just drop me a PM if I can help further mate.

HAMLNJ Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 In heavy traffic, if I'm pressing the clutch down loads it gets stuck or half a second and then pops up up. Annoying and gets me worried. Any thoughts? Common problem? Or am I pressing it to hard? It's 55 uk gt. fully serviced by Nissan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Another one cured by the Zman kit. Refused to come back up after spells sat in traffic, in the heat. All good since and my super techs had it done in double quick time, though the bleed was slightly tricky - until you read the workshop manual that is!
