clutch petal problem - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

so yesterday i had exhaust built for my car and my clutch petal adjusted.... driving home(regular driving) i put the clutch in to go from 3rd to 4th and the petal dropped to the floor and i barely had any tention that would allow me to shift. I pulled off the road and tried to lugg it home, but right after i lost all play in the petal and i couldnt engage it at all...

I want to fix it myself if its something small and not bother getting it towed to the shop again.... but what could the problem be?... clutch cylinder blow?

any help would be great

Check your master and slave cylinders for leaks. Also 240 clutch pedals are known to break from time to time. The pedal itself could be broken...

How did the shop adjust it? Did they just bleed it or adjust the pedal adjustment? If they bleed it then they might have air traped in the system.

look under your dash aswell. check and see how much adjustment you have. air in the line is possible.
if you need a new slave cylinder i can ship one out to you.
