Creeking Slave Cylinder!

Ok my problem is that everytime i put my foot on the clutch to take of or change gears, there is a creek/squeek from beneath my car. Now i know it is my slave cylinder as i have had it up on jacks, lubed it up with oil inside the boot (not too much as i dont want to get any oil inside the gearbox/bellhousing) and even minutely sprayed a bit of bearing lube in there to try and get it up as high as i can to lube the yoke arm. But nothing seems to be working. The noise will go away for a few days, but then will come back generally right at the very end of teh pedal throw to begin with.

Has anyone else experienced this, if so, how have you gone about or think i should do about lubing this problem. How do nissan perform tasks like this.

My last resort will be to pull the slave cylinder off and physically lube all the parts up myself with grease. But i prefer not to as this will be a large pain in the arse.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, David

Are you sure its the slave?

Could be the master at the bottom of the pedal? I remember mine used to creek in a previous car and over time it started losing pressure so it would be hard to get into gears at high RPM.

Changed the master cylinder and it was fine after that, or re-sleeved it I think it was.

Anyways just a thought, hope that helps.

yeah i've had a similar thing with mine for ages, at first i noticed it would do it after it'd been raining, then it sort of started happeneing all the time.. not sure if it was the master or the slave.

about a month ago the clutch box frame thing snapped one of it's spot welds so i had to take it all out and get it re welded, when i put it back in i noticed my clutch has been losing pressure, although i've got a feeling this is down to air getting into the lines, which i've been too lazy to bleed out

mmm can be many things depending on the severity or type of noise. Im 100% adament tho mine is the yoke on the slave. Im going to take it off and take her apart and grease it all up to the best of my ability.

Let you know how it goes.

well i was under the car (AGAIN) today and figured whilst i was doing the control arm bushes (grease gunning), that id put a little bit in the boot for the slave...did help a bit but rite at the end of the throw of the slave it has the smallest creek. Guess this is as good as it will get unless i pull her apart.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
