Mr Thomas. Since you renewed the master and slave clutch cylinders and do have pressure to release clutch but not engaged, means that either you have broken driven clutch plate or pressure plate broken. Means you need new clutch.

SOURCE: Removal of slave clutch master cylinder

The hydraulic cylinder is in the bell housing. When you separate the motor and tranny, you will see it as a unit with the throw-out bearing. Take the hydraulic line off before you start. You will have to bleed it when you are done.

there is a way to pressure bleed the system. depress and lock the clutch pedal down with the use of a pedal depresser or a stick, long extension something, with the pedal depressed crack the bleeder open and the pressure plate springs should force fluid out of the bleeder. note in some cases the pedal will stick in the depressed position. without the springs from the pressure plate. this is normal. just manually return the pedal to its start position, and repeat until air is purged.

SOURCE: clutch 'pops' straight to the floor in my 93 300zx

The slave cylinder is replaced simply by removing 2 14mm or 12m nuts on the bottom side of the trans. There is no need for transmission removal.

Remember to point out to the shops that there are two bleeding points for the clutch. On the slave cylinder itself and under the hood on the passenger side. Its right behind the windshield washer fluid fill spot. Sometimes the bleeder is covered with a black cover.

Bleeding Clutch by Blocking the Slave Cylinder

I know my clutch needs fixed. I'm just not sure what needs fixed. Master cylinder, slave cylinder, or pressure plate. It acts like it wants to ingage while sitting still with the clutch depress.

First check to make sure master cylinder and slave cylinder are not leaking, to do this you will have to pull back the rubber boot on the push -rods, they should be dry, no brake fluid present.

If they are good, check stroke length of slave cylinder is getting full travel.

If that's good it's interal, worn clutch and pressure plate, collapsed thow-out or spigot bearing...

Why does clutch leak off and wont go into gear 96 toyota tacoma when you push on clutch pedal goes to the floor it wont engage clutch to be able to put into gear

the most likely reason is either the clutch master cyl. needs to be replaced.or the.slave cyl. its mounted down on the transmation under the hood find the resivore for the clutch. check the fluid level.if its low , fill it back up , and look for signs of a leak
you will probally have to bleed out all of the air from the system.its done almost the same way as bleeding the brakes. Good Luck.

Clutch goes all the way to the floor, when stepped on.

Your car has a hydraulic clutch. Check that the master cylinder reservoir is full and then try bleeding the clutch. (The bleeder point is on the slave cylinder on the bell housing). If it bleeds and regains function fine, but if it does not you will have to have the master cylinder , overhauled, reworked or replaced. Also check the slave cylinder for leaks if your reservoir is empty. (It might be a good idea to have the slave cylinder seen to as well).

* Clutch pedal all the way to the floor, impossible to change gears.

this problem is caused by a leaking hydraulic clutch slave or master cylinder, the most likely cause is the slave cylinder down on the transmission, have a shop put it up and see where the leaking fluid is coming from, top or bottom..

1993 240 nissan clutch pedal acts like it has no fluid

Check if the slave cylinder is being activated by the operation of the master cylinder (also ensure no fluid leaks are present).
If slave cylinder not moved, you still have a faulty master cylinder or slave cylinder - or the hydraulic system still has air.

If the slave cylinder is operating normally and there is still no return pressure from the clutch pressure plate, you have a faulty pressure plate or throughout lever mechanism.

On solution #1 dec 2008 I would like to know where i could get the adjustable clutch master rod between the master cylinder and the clutch pedal. He mentioned it could be purchased on line but did not say...

After reading this I have to ask if parts are origional why do they not work properly. My first suggestion is that bleading not done effectively. If air is present in line,slave cylender etc. then it would not have travel needed or master cylinder is frozen at point short of origional return or is wrong one. There shouldn't be a reason to have to purchase rod with upgrade unless specified by manufacturer and if so then they should have supplied it. Inspect each part and compare with old ones if possible, if master is origional then make sure that it returns fully to give travel to pedal. when bleading system fill slave cylinder as much as possible disconnected from line and blead many times.

Clutch cylinder inside car is it broke

you have to bleed the air out of it. If there is not fluid leaking from the master cylinder on the firewall.it can leak on the inside of car or the out side if the master cylinder is bad.first make sure the reservoir stays full then open the bleeder on slave cylinder. this is called gravity bleeding. once fluid comes out, tighten bleeder, pump pedal one time loosen bleeder while holding clutch pedal down and then tighten. do this repeatedly until no air comes out. you can pump pedal several times,then hold and bleed however you like but I have better luck with individual pumps. just make sure that the lines hooked to slave cylinder are tight and there are no air leaks. and that the line does not go below the slave cylinder because sometimes air gets trapped in the lowest part of system.
