I was checking my Oil today and i noticed there was some brake fuild on my transimission so i took some pictures. I am guessing it is the Slave cylinder and that fluid just ran down the line and pooled on the transmission housing. Does this look like its my slave cylinder leaking.

 

 

 

I checked the fluid level and it is over the MAX line so its not very bad but my question is this normal. Also it is difficult to get into gear sometime but for the most part it is not too bad

 

Looks like it's just the hose. This can prevent your clutch disk from fully disengaging, causing hard shifts.

When the slave cylinder goes, you will see fluid coming out where the pushrod is (part w/the boot).

 

I do have hard shifts sometimes but i thought it was due to weather. thanks for the info. I think i am going to purchase a new slave cylinder and replace it at the same time.
Could i use this line as a replacement.

 

Yes. The steel braided line will improve the feel of the clutch.

10 chars.

 

^^ I have that line and it makes the overall feel much more crisp. And yes it will most likely fix your leak

 

thanks for the info guys. i am going to go ahead and order one of those lines and a new nissan clutch slave cylinder(3062031U61) since the system will be bleed anyway.

 

You dont have to replacet he slave cylinder if you are going to bleed the system. If you want to renew your slave cylinder, I suggest you buy a rebuild kit, (it comes with the internal cylinder and rubber boot.) It only costs about $5 on rockauto.com.

 

i think i will just replace the who thing. I will just do it an be done with it.I think it will improve the feel of things and make driving more pleasent.
But so i am positive the line darrick is selling is the line i need to replace? correct.

 

i guess its the line is what is leaking after all. I have read the entire thread for the stainless steel line group by and i atill do not know if that line is the same as the one i need. can anyone confirm this please i would like to order it.

tell derrick you have a 4th gen vq30 and want the SS clutch line. IM sure he can still get you one if the GD is over. I have one and its great.

 

yeah but reading that thread i just don't know which line it is. Is it the line that i have pictured leaking? You purchased one right? Any pics?

 

Yeah, it's the same one.

 

thank you.

 

I decided to use a stock replacement line it is only $40.

 

^^ So you bought a rubber line for $40 instead of a stainless steel line for $25?

 

......

hope you can cancel your order

 

Picked up my parts yesterday and my mechanic is doing the install next friday thanks for the info guys
