Clutch all the way to the floor, wont come up
So today i was driving around like normal and stopped at a light.I sunk the clutch and it stayed all the way to the floor and wouldnt come back up on its own.I managed to change in first pulled over to see what was wrong.Well the clutch was still to the floor and ws just going down and up freely and i still cant seem to find out wht happened.
Any help would be appreciated, thanx.

Well yeah, surprisingly, the fluid container was kinda empty and so i think it sucked in air and made a bubble somehow.I however bled the line and filled up the container with fluid and the clutch is "kinda" back, the bad thing now is that clutch hose down there, i think its kinda leaking, what next........

The clutch lines can be found here (GD section) The Slave you can get from the dealership for 60-70, or try Advance of AutoZone. I think I got mine from the dealership. The 4th gen slave is known to go out often.

Unfortunately, that's the lower, more expensive hose.
Save yourself $ and get this one: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=529112
It replaces the upper and lower hoses, and I've yet to hear of a case in this forum where a SS line has failed.

Your picture shows the lower clutch hose. I'm guessing it costs about $30 + shipping? Make sure the description says "lower" clutch hose.
The hose in the other thread replaces the part you have pictured, plus the "upper" hose. It's a great upgrade because it does away with the rubber line and instead uses Stainless Steel hose that's less likely to leak. Plus, it costs less than a single Lower hose.
As for purchasing the wrong part that does not fix your problem... Your best bet is to remove your slave cylinder and hoses and inspect them. Then make your purchase. Worse case scenarios:
1) it's the hose, which will cost $25
2) it's the slave cyl, which will cost $6-10 for simple rebuild "kit" that takes 5min to rebuild and no special tools
If either of those cost too much, I can arrange for a payment plan.
