errr....try maintainence section...but no reply so i try here again

cut the story short

just went out to buy macs....

after i got out of macs....i couldn't get into any gear mad.gif

i push the clutch many times and try to see if it helps...but no luck

i turn off the car....then i can push the stick into any gear

so....is this caused by a faulty clutch???? or something wrong with the gearbox (hope not)... sad.gif

PS big thanks to the gentleman and his wife in the range rover helping me to push the car....really appreciated smile.gif

cheers

i felt a bit funny with the clutch after i washed my car the nite b4.....

i thought...yeah.....maybe it's just that i was wearing the thongs

KRZYSIU: i dont know really...it just feels like it's not working...but not sure...coz the wierd feeling of the clutch....i think it might be the clutch??? hope it is something simple

AL: i have checked on the floor...there isn't any fluid leaking

11th i think..

something relatively simple you can try is get a mate to sit in the car and pump the pedal as you open and close the bleed valve on the clutch slave cylinder to bleed to system, could be a possible cause...

i doubt it would be gearbox related..

if you want to know how to bleed let me know i can post how..

get your mate to sit in the car, while u get under it near the clutch slave cylinder..you should see a bleed valve, nipple, about a size 8 or 10...see what size spanner fits on to it...

with the clutch fluid reservoir cap off and some fluid near by, get your mate to pump the pedal a few times, then get him to hold it all the way down and undo the bleed valve just half a turn untill air/fluid squirts out... be careful not to get the fluid on your clothes or eyes, and the paint work(i suggest safety goggles and overalls for this, the fluid will fly out everywhere, please do take care!!)...you can actually get a vacumm hose to fit on the nipple so you can guide the fluid into a jar..

after the the fluid has come out close the valve, and then your mate can let the pedal come up... at this stage also get him to top up the fluid, making sure the fluid never gets too low!!

repeat this process several times, all the air should come out and the system should be bled...

I recomend using a clear vacuum hose on the bleed nipple so you can see the fluid and air bubbles being bled out. Do it until there is no bubbles in the system. and make sure you top up the reservoir or it will suck air back in.

Good luck with it.

And with the slave cylinder (mounted to bell housing), where can it leak to? If that was it then the fluid would be on the ground.

the leak also could be at the master cylinder, most likely internal so may be a little hard to see, so make sure you check all around and under the master cylinder as well as the fire wall and even inside the car where the pedal meets the firewall...

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
