c.m.c problem?

ok so llast couple of weeks my clutch pedal has been feeling soft at first and not pop back up but then if i gave it a few pumps or drove it a little it would feel fine and come back up no problem. but now it wont feel fine anymore just like shit and i can barely get it in gear with it like this. is this my clutch master cylinder or maybe my pushrod?

please help!

sounds clutch master cylinder. replace that and flush the fluid

or the slave

Slave.
Bet 5 on it.
Easy as cake.
Ill type a walkthrough.
If needed.
For max entry.

i hope its the slave
just because its cheaper
and you should type a walkthrough because i know the location but dont know where to go after there.
thanks!

Im at work.
Later I will.

alright thanks

i kno its not slave... had this problem for a while but still havent fixed it. Ive put 2 new ones in and changed nothing besides the fact of the older ones leaking. Im pretty sure its a internal leak in the clutch master cylinder. Id say do both... theres a package thing on ebay for both including a new line too for a lil over a hundo.

Just because it wasnt the slave in your case doesnt mean its not the slave in his case. Ive had that shit happen on a bunch of s13's ive driven. Each time its been the slave.

Just replace both slave and master since theyre both only like 30 dollars and bound to go out sometime anyways. Get a SS line to delete the damper box too and make sure you bleed it well.

thats why im saying both... it could be either. but when slaves go they dont last long after they start leaking. thts all im saying...

more info please!

Go to nico tech article section.
They have a detailed walkthrough.
Its super simple.
You just take out the stupid clutch damper and run a SS line or bend the stock hardline into your slave soft line.
I did it on my car and roski's car also I believe.

not really ..
i'd find my clutch pedal down to the floor like once a week when my slave was going out. .
then .. while the dstar was dailying it .. it took a complete shit. .
lucky me. .

i dont think i have one cuz my car was swapped to manual.
im gonna order a new slave tomorrow.

ok why do people use brake fluid as opposed to clutch fluid?

..
you dont think you have one?

have one what?

and i agree with edgar..

ive had 5 240s..

and every single one of them had a clutch master or slave problem..
9/10 you will have a bad slave..its a 10 dollar fix.

ok i dont have a damper thing
and i order my slave and gonna pick it up later tonight and install tomorrow and hope for the best.

but again does it matter if i use clutch fluid instead of brake fluid?

theyre made of the same thing on 240's. as long as its rated dot 3... and go ahead and try the slave.. but if it doesnt work then u kno its clutch master cylinder for sure.

with my luck i am missing my 14mm wrench
which is need to get the soft line off.
sweeet

ok i stripped the bolt to get the soft line off.
i quit.

how badly is it stripped?


Did you make sure to soak the shit out of it with pb blaster or nuts off before you attempted to loosen it?

umm fuck no.
who soaks shit?!

and it isnt that bad stripped

if you want to reduce the chance of stripping/shearing/snapping/etc. you should atleast spray some of that shit on the nuts/bolts/etc.

soaking the nuts is the only way to make sure its fully lubricated and reduces the amount of friction making it easier to take off.
