Fluid leaking in floor board, loss of pressure in clutch?
I have been having trouble with my slave cylinder for about a month. Yesterday all of a sudden i lost all the pressure to my clutch. It has been leaking in the inside of the car, all over the floor. What could be the problem, i don't know. It just ****ed me off being stuck in traffic and the clutch just gave out. I had to run to the auto parts store and get some break fluid to refill it and get the pressure back up. Thanks for any replies.

Yeah that's it, thank you. The slave cylinder is fine it's the clutch master cylinder. It's easy to replace huh, well im goin to do the drive axles, and control arms this weekend. My friend is goin to help me, but he said he knows nothing about my maxima and he didn't want to mess with the clutch. But how easy is it, is there a write up somewhere. I know it's inside the car near the clutch pedal but im not sure where. well i'll try to talk my friend into it, he's really good mechanically and he has like every tool known to man, well just about. Well now i know what i need to get, thank you very much. Im tired of that **** leaking im goin to have to shampoo the carpet when im done, it's a mess.

You don't even need a repair manual. Undo the fluid line. Undo the clip under the clutch pedal and two nuts on the mc. Oh make sure the fluid is drained. But that's it. Nothing hidden or special.

I think that there is a bleeder screw on the line.
