clutch pedal has no pressure after bleeding - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

the first time i bled the clutch it didnt work so i went out and bought a new master cylinder, installed that and went to bleed the system again...still no pressure. now i have looked and searched and people that seemed to have this same problem are told to replace the slave cylinder ???

Should i buy a slave cylinder ? or do i possibly take the tranny off again ?? thank you for any input

do you still have that clutch line loop? if so you gotta bleed that shit like a pro to get correct pressure back i just delt with the crap cause im stubborn and refused to remove the clutch line loop and little box.

Yeah hook the rubber line up to the hardline and throw the box and loop away.

i too also bled the damper box and slave cylinder but the clutch pedal was soft, so i then tried the removal of the damper box, and put in a new stainless steel line to the hard line and now the clutch pedal is firm and smooth. i guess that damper box really isnt needed.

The damper box is a spare bleeder it's not needed.

take off the stupid box loop shit its call the dampener box....take that off..connect the hard line str8 to the softline and bleed the slave..your clutch with be the same or harder...99.9% of any s chassis car you see at a car meet dont have that crap on there car
