Dude, i hate to tell you this, but any time a slave cylinder goes, you should replace the master, or the slave will end up going again in a while...

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

this that just a general rule or is there a reasoning behind it, just curious.

I've read threads where peoples slave goes, some and they replaced just the slave and everything was ok.

a used slave cylinder for $70? Why not buy new...? do you want to keep swapping them or something?

Batxel

I think you got ripped off buying one used for $70. Not to mention it'll probably go dead in couple of years if you're lucky. Unless you don't mind tackling reoccurring problems with the car - which you apparently don't .

You couldve went to pinnaclenissan.com and got it for $40.00...

For advice ... don't spill the brake fluid

Jeff92se

iTrader: (82)

Damn!!!

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

$38.24 to be exact

What makes you say that?

nupe500

iTrader: (13)

WOW...someone got ripped....

Oblongshapes

iTrader: (1)

I dunno maybe because Im a mechanic and know what im talking about...

Most likely, he is going to get air in the line, and be posting back that his clutch wont apply/release.

Also, when the old one goes, pieces of the line go and little particles stay suspended in the fluid that can cause all kinds of problems.

But I didnt read that it was a used one, so that sucks.... He will just end up changing both of them later down the line, this isnt the end of his problem

Jeff92se

iTrader: (82)

I disagree. j/k. I replaced both also. Mostly because my oem MC had over 100k and I thought that was enough. Plus it has to help push my ACT pp down. Plus when I did the slave, I didn't want to hassle with bleeding the stupid line again. They aren't that expensive so why not?

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

nothing against you but not all mechanics no what their talking about, too much proof on that one.

and mechanics can be wrong too

74 pot holes people and I only hit about 5 of them.

Well when you just payed 20,000 dollars at the best training facility and are currently in a specialized transmission course dealing with such an easy question, its hard to be wrong (im sorry that you go to idiot mechanics, but thats not my problem, maybe you should find a new shop)

Its not like im telling him what gear ratios would be the best for his application, which i could... but this is a simple procedure that isnt rocket science, when one goes, your replace the other (i explained why above)...... So fine, dont take my advice and end up spending thrice the amount in the long run, because i dont know what im talking about, people who dont even know how to change one do......

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

wow having a bad day? people just asking why? I asked why cause I like to know reasoning behind it have a logical reason as to why its best to change both rather than "I dunno cause I'm a mechanic and I know what I'm talking about" yea that would make me quickly order new parts.

we just wanted to know why and I'm sure you have read many threads where people were told by mechanics to do something that isnt related to the current problem.


Damn some people are so sensitive

Oblongshapes

iTrader: (1)

yes i am having a bad day

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

me too man, but it will be ok. Lucky you are going to a mechincal school and will be able to fix just about anything on your max, plus I'm guessing you have access to a lift and air tools?

Oblongshapes

iTrader: (1)

Indeed I do, it is nice, and im headed there now for the next 9 hours.... for a lecture of transfer cases...yay.

MDeezy

iTrader: (27)

sounds like fun.

I wish i had that access, need to do tranny, axle, and exhaust soon.


enjoy

holdddddd uppp! i never said i bought it for 70 bucks are u crazy? i bought it for 30 shipped with 10k miles on it. i said the guy wanted 2 install if for 70 bucks. why does everyone allways hate on me????

Oblongshapes, u have no idea what your saying, i can bleed the lines fine and ive done them in the past.

is the master cylinder the box that is connected to the hose coming from the slave?? if it is broaner shipped me that too..

Oblongshapes

iTrader: (1)

I apologize for assuming you didnt know how to bleed it.....

But a long story short, just get the master cylinder.

Batxel

iTrader: (1)

I had read a previous post that said that you spent $70, but I only briefly looked at your original post. Sorry -- So, I'll change my response to partially ripped off.

We don't hate you. We hate your car.

Oblongshapes, I guess they already taught you the mechanics creed of if it aint broke replace it anyway rule. This is where mechanics make most of their money. I believe he is right about getting your master done too. My slave went on my old car and a year later I went back to the shop and they said both needed to be replaced.

It seems like the more things I try to fix on my car the more things break so I put all repairs to the side and haven't had any new problems.

sryth

Oh...I guess that makes things all better!

Uhm...yeah, that's why you bleed the system. You're used to people removing part of a hydrolic system w/o bleeding while expecting it to work?

Hmm...I guess I should replace the master cylinder in my mother's car...I only did the slave...about 100k miles ago

nupe500

iTrader: (13)

exit10,

No one hates on you..but everypost you make yourself look stupid...you don't even know what the master cylinder looks like, yet you say you've bleed before...how is that possible?

sryth

He probably bled at the slave cylinder.

nupe500

iTrader: (13)

OK...smarty...but he would still have to fill the Master cylinder resavoir with fluid in order to bleed...now you

exit10

yea thats what i was thinkin, that the part i filled up was the master cylinder. no body should get upset for me not knowing what it looks like. this whole thing of tuning up a car is a learning process and ppl on the org can get a little to upset over me just learning. its not like im asking the same question 3 times in a row

sryth

This is assuming he added fluid. The jury's still out on whether he's doing things correctly.

What's with the attitudes here?

exit10

im sorry i started this thread, if you noticed in the original post i said

"if ne one has hintfull tips or anything they want 2 tell me b4 i tackle this project lemme know. if not then its all good"

i never asked for anyones rude comments, that just proves that everyone allways has to say SOMTHING nasty. if you dont want to help me then SHUT YOUR FUKING MOUTHHHH.
