I noticed yesterday that my clutch is leaking a lot of fluid from where the shaft (the one kinda attached to the clutch pedal) goes into the master cylinder.

I'm guessing a seal is gone, but can anyone offer up any advice asap. Is there anything I can try short of taking it somewhere because I'm a bit short on funds atm :

Thanks

Funnily enough - I found that exact problem today as well. I have clutch fluid dripping down onto the clutch pedal and the floor. It's not leaking very fast but I had to top up the fluid today - I caught it when it was about 2mm from the bottom of the fluid reservoir.

46n2 - is the fluid leaking inside the car like mine?

MearCat : Yeah, it's leaking inside the same as yours :D I've spoken to a few ppl and they think i'll be in need of a new master cylinder. I'm holding off for a few days to confirm. I'll post back and let u know...

nooooo. $250 ouch....

in future guys.....

go to your local clutch place. and ask for a rebuild kit. should be about $10.

it will be a rubber seal. then you just replace the rubber seal on yours. and bolt it back in.

thats all that is needed to be done. i had a problem on mine and i solved it this way.

if you dont want to go to the hassel of rebuilding it...

i have got a spare one i'd sell.

it doens't leak. i doubled up when i didn't know what to do...

hehe...yeh i've got the same problem.....always a wet patch on my floor mat under

clutch pedal...and refillin the clutch master cylinder every couple of weeks.....

anyways...like dabigbolf said....i went and got a rebuild kit from nissan...

only cost me $40..

kit contains complete piston, return spring, piston stop ring, o-ring and the boot - all brand new....

if you going this way best idea is to give the cylinder a nice honing to insure the seal beds

in smoothly..

$250 is a bit steep....so $40 and a lil diy is ALOT lighter on the wallet......

Clutch Master Cylinder.

$250 is a bit of a RIP.

I bought mine for around $60-$70 from a local brake/clutch shop in St. Mary's.

It is made by PBR.

I may be able to dig up some old photo's of the box & part number.

Bl4ck32 also recently replaced his and knows the exact price as I replaced mine 2.5years ago.

Also guys remember when taking on the $40 kit rebuild option - IF your master cyl has scores in the bore it will need to be re-sleved or replaced which will end up costing you more money in the long run.

So before you buy the kit - it may be a good idea to take the master cyl off and taking it to a clutch place for assesment before spending your money.

I have encounterd the same problem on another car we had used that was 15 years old and from japan.

Does the clutch slip when powering down from 1st to 2nd when you shift really fast, once you back off quickly ( when you noticed its slipping ) .and give it gas it stops slipping ?

If thats the case, your stopper for the clutch pedal can be the problem.

petar.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
