sort of.
After a while your pedal will start getting more lose.

Even if its not broken get it spot welded anyway. and do ti before more damage gets done.

shadycrew31

iTrader: (6)

Yea as someone who has been through this its allot easier to pay the $25 while the pedal is still together.

Ok, so I re-welded the clutch pedal bracket and I reassembled the clutch back into my car. The problem I'm facing with now is the piston. It has no feed-back, like, no pressure. I step on the clutch and it goes all the way down, the spring on the clutch pedal is working but the piston is not being pushed back up.

I push down on the clutch and I can't shift into gears now. The clutch won't come back up. Does this mean I have air in my clutch line? Do I have to bleed my clutch line?

If so, where is the bleeder valve for the clutch line?

I need help!

Thanks in advance.

I hope you're not having the same issue as I did.

There is no bleed valve on the clutch line, you need to bleed it at your slave cylinder, which is located right behind your oil filter/right above your transmission. yeah, its a bitch to reach that area.

Try to bleed your slave cylinder and see what happens, if you see any gray **** comes out, Bad news.

also if the rod is "loose" for no reason, and you're 100% positive that you adjust it right before. then your slave cylinder might be shot, but THATS not the real cause. It could be your clutch master ate your slave alive.

Im going to take my clutch master out tomorrow and see if my theory is correct.

oh man this is scary. hope you get your clutch working right bro.

dozer

iTrader: (3)

the rod is in there tight, but i have no feed back what so ever...like no pressure pushing the clutch back out

dozer

iTrader: (3)

also how am i supposed to bleed the clutch when i cant pump the clutch pedal...

is there away around it without using a speed bleeder?

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

Lift the clutch pedal back up by your hand. thats how you bleed it.

but I just have this feeling that your slave might be shot. Bleed it, and you will know if it is.

fuxk speed bleeder. those **** leaks eventually. and when you know it, it will be too late.

swoope

iTrader: (5)

have had no issues with the speed bleeders.

and doser.

you will have to lift the pedal up everytime.. it takes a couple of pumps..

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

not now,

but one day ... :P

dozer

iTrader: (3)

i really hope it isnt shot, i got home with no problems...got under the dash and saw that one side of the bracket was almost torn apart...took it out and it looked exactly the picture on the first page...

nycgps

iTrader: (1)

it doesnt hurt to try

it sound like u never bleed ur clutch(or the whole system) b4 huh ? :P

i do mine once a year. yeah it still failed (slave went dead, the suspect is the clutch master) but at least I know it wasnt cause by the user (me)

dozer

iTrader: (3)

nope never... well this is a learning experience for me, im only 23 and my first car was an automatic 240sx

dozer

iTrader: (3)

nyc what type of problems did you have, does it sound like mine?

swoope

iTrader: (5)

nycgps,

is a trail blazer..

he has had a new clutch issue that has not been seen before.

i have seen it on a couple of motorcycles where the cluch and transmission interact hence the dark fluid.

but really he must have a odd master cylinder that failed in a very odd way.

dozer. you have a broken clutch bracket.. correct?

the photo above was a broken bracket, but the circle was in the wrong place.

beers

yes sir
