Excellent video, explained too detail perfectly 👌 one of the best videos iv seen. Is this nissan left hand drive, is there a difference between right hand drive & left hand on this clutch master cylinder part can you tell me. Thanks.
Did this on my versa note yesterday. Diiferent parts to remove, location of hose is different, I had to oull the hydraulic clip instead of pushing it in but there is enough great info in this video for me to get the job done! The hardest part for me was getting the air out of the master cylinder. Im a 60 yr old single woman with minimum auto experience....if i can do this anyone can
Absolutely amazing video. Worked perfectly when I was finished. Thank you very much. The only thing to add is when bleeding the system you need to remove the reservoir cap to bleed the system properly.
Thanks and you're welcome, glad the video was helpful for you. Be aware that the reservoir cap gasket is designed with folded extra material, to give without creating vacuum and with out braking the seal as fluid is used. Also, when you have the cap off you want to make sure no debris falls into the fluid and remember that brake fluid is hygroscopic. Meaning it absorbs moisture from the environment so, if you are in a high moisture area or day you want to keep it covered
Just had a dealer do this, along with a new clutch assembly and flywheel. Expensive. Unfortunately, the clutch pedal disengagement now requires the clutch pedal to be depressed almost all the way to the floor, and it engages almost immediately. Is the clutch pedal engagement position adjustable in any way, or is this a function of a new clutch pack assembly? Thanks!
My car its the clip inside that broke was able to drive it for a couple days but now it wont work at all i will try changing what you just show but is it possible my problem is after the hose that goes in the transmission to the fork that move the pressure plate or my problem would only be ghe cylinder?
Thank you very much for this video. My master cylinder rod/clutch pedal junction is worn badly causing the rod to come loose shortly after I re-snap it into place. I put a mini hose clamp on it to try and salvage it and will know in time if it worked. Muchas gracias señor.
Same here. One of the little 3 prong plastic connection points broke. Slammed the pedal to the floor nearly giving me a heartattack. Luckily, popped it back in and put zipties in X fashion to hold it. Seems to be working. But will keep this video in my backpocket just incase I need to replace the whole thing. I hate that Nissan used plastic for this part of the master cylinder. Dumb. Could kill someone for using plastic.
Hello FIX MY CAR, your video is very good. Initially I 've planned to have it replaced at the dealership service, but after watching this I've decided that I'll rather do it myself ! How did you remove dot 4 fluid before removing the cmc ? Did you use syringe or you emptied it via clutch tubes and the bleeding nipple?
@@FIXMYCAR It's a 2014 Nissan Pulsar C13 (I'm from Europe, PL). It uses many parts common with Nissan Juke. There are different part numbers but servicing rules of clutch are the same. I 've already read in service manual that to empty the fluid you just need to slide the tube to bleeding position and by depressing the clutch pedal all fluid will be evacuated .
Any advice have the pedal no pressure and stays to the floor. Iv fitted new clutch slave cylinder and it still falls to the floor if I bleed the hose under the battery pull clip up then add pipe into a bottle then press the clutch till the air is gone if the pedal still has no pressure what can I do ?? Iv fitted new pads and disks the car is stuck parked on mud so hard to get under it and advise be great
@@FIXMYCAR the push rod not working on the pedal and now has lost pressure in the system so Iv fitted a new one so now it works ok but just need to Bleed it But if the pedal still falls to the floor what’s next ? Cms? Under the gearbox
According to the data system here in the USA it has a different engine and transmission than the Versa but the Clutch Master Cylinder is the same. When you say double clutch are you referring to the Dual Mass Flywheel? In the USA it does not appear to have a double clutch transmission, but it has a Dual Mass Flywheel. May we ask is your Vehicle a USA model or in which country is the vehicle located? We would like to know if they offered a dual clutch transmission elsewhere
I found brake fluid in his door pocket so think he had a problem and ran the system dry then topped up his reservoir but too late has air in there now. If I bleed the clutch and still feels soft can I bleed the brakes aswell ?? Is the ABS all together was thinking run the car do the clutch then bleed each wheel from the back to the front see if that works
when the car is on i press on the klutch goes all the way down and i wont go into gear but turned off it does go into gear perfectly can it only be the master cylinder !?
@FIXMYCAR HELLO. I have a 2008 Nissan Altima coupe 6 spd manual with the 2.5. My clutch went to the floor from 2nd to 3rd. I started taking the air box and stuff off and when I got to the bleeder part on the line with the clip it was already off. Should I just put it back and try to bleed it to see if that will fix it or is it a way I can check the other parts to see if something else is bad?
@Aj-wb5rg I don’t see any fluid on the transmission. There is still some fluid in the master cylinder. I said I was going to try to bleed the system. Maybe that line just slipped off. I was driving and it happened when I got ready to shift gears. I’m not sure what else to look for, I’m not not real familiar with working on them.
Hi sir thanks so much for this video i will receive my new master cylinder in 2 day…I hope it just that i dont wsnt to cjange the slave cylinder…Since 1 week enter gesr was more and more harder to do…Today my clutch pedal died completely i was able to drive home some of my mecanic friend tell me slave cylinder and clutch are finished but more i read more i rly think and hope it only the CMC.
Could you do a video changing the clutch slave cylinder. Cause I just changed my master cylinder and bleed the clutch and the clutch fluid kept leaking out under the car where the slave cylinder should be and my mechance told me that the slave cylinder is not holding pressure nor keeping the clutch fluid in the car
@@FIXMYCAR yes I thought it was the master cylinder so I got it changed, then 2 weeks later the same problem occurred my mechanic checked the master cylinder and said it was ok. But the slave cylinder seals are probably bad.
Hi FixMyCar, I replaced the slave cylinder located inside the bell housing and having difficult time trying to bleed the clutch. I put the clutch tube on second position and pumped the clutch till all the air bubbles were out. Then when I closed the tube and pressed the clutch, fluid started gushing out of the bleeding value. I even replaced the clutch tube thinking that the clip is bad. I did not prefill the slave cylinder with brake fluid. Was this a mistake and do I have to remove the bell housing again to prefill the slave cylinder ? Please let me know. I have a Nissan Altima 2008. Thanks
If the bleeding tube is locked on the closed position, and you still have fluid coming out of the bleeding valve. Check the O Ring, If it's ok see the bleeding procedure from 8:29 time line
@@FIXMYCAR Is this a required step to prefilling the slave cylinder before installation? Small video showing a demo th-cam.com/video/sAGOpWfAR9U/w-d-xo.html
To bleed the slave cylinder you have to... 1. Open the bleeding tube (Engage the metal clip so that you can pull the fluid line out to that first "open for bleeding" click position.) 2. Press/HOLD DOWN the clutch Pedal 3. Close The Bleeding Tube (push the fluid line all the way in to the "closed" final click position. The metal clip will probably lock down automatically) 4. Bring up the clutch Pedal -REPEAT this maybe 30-100 times. Yes, 30-100 times. It's going to take forever. It sucks. Your thumb is going to hurt pressing that metal clip. Your going to want to quit. But it is what it is. 👉🏻Just Keep Going.👈🏻 Eventually the clutch pedal will stiffen as the slave cylinder is finally filled with fluid and the pedal finally has fluid resistance. Do this until the pedal feels normal and there is no air seeping out of the tube, just straight brake fluid (Step 2). I'm going to repeat this, because it's important, When I say 30-100 I literally mean it took me about 60 repetitions. Here is a rough schematic. To the left is the engine and transmission. And the [ ]'s are the positions the fluid line can be in. Either clicked into the final [Closed] position, clicked into the middle [Bleed] position or completely un-clicked and [Off]. {Eng/tran}---[Closed]--[Bleed]--[Off]---- ***Also Very Important: Make sure the car is level (not on jacks) with the way some of the brake master cylinders are designed it may not work unleveled.*** You can do this, 👨🏻🔧 Goodluck
You're Welcome, It appears that the clutch master cylinder output line goes straight instead of at an angle, also it has a shorter hose to the brake master cylinder reservoir. According to the auto parts information
@@FIXMYCAR hello - is the brake fluid reservoir the same as the clutch reservoir? in other words do the brakes and the clutch use the same fluid? I dont see 2 reservoirs on my nissan cube - I only see the one shown in your video thanks
You're Welcome, by now the part manufacture's should have improved the design of the rod, but it looks like all the brands are still making it out of plastic
This the dumbest slave cylinder design I’ve seen so far , couldn’t put it into the bleeding position tried nd triad till my finger hurt from pressing that damn spring

what is the valve/assembly thing below the master clutch cylinder? some sort of check valve?? does it go bad?
Clutch Damper
With the bleeding hose you said push the clip down and pull out abit ? So not like the other one which was pull the clip up then pull hose out
The bleeding starts from 8:29
Yes push the clip down and pull to the second position for the clutch tube.
Correct. Down, the opposite of up 😅
