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.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
