clutch problem, doesn't engaged well
 

hi guys.

i got a problem with my clutch and i don't know what to do. I swap to 5 speed and i have a clutch master stage 2 kit and my setup is using the factory lines and my slave cylinder is new. The master clutch cylinder is used but in good shape. When i first start the car on the morning (cold) the clutch pedal engage very low and feels very soft and meanwhile in the process of warming up ( using the car) the clutch pedal gradually increase the feel like more hard and disangeaged more up . It will be gradually increasing the force on the pedal and the height of it too. When is cold the pedal is like in the half way, when is warming up its stay on top with the brake pedal. Gradually the clutch doesn't engaged well. I let the car to cold like 30 minutes and the clutch pedal go back on the same position like it was on the morning and do the same thing.

if you guys can give some pointers of what i can do here to diagnostic the problem i will be a huge help. i think its on 3 things..
1. Bad master cylinder
2. bad lines from the slave
3. it is vacuum air to the system.


Thank you for the help you can give me here. i am alone doing this and in Puerto rico no one now much about maximas here, all i learned about it is the org. and searching for people like you hoping that i can do something different right here in Puerto Rico.

sounds like you need to bled the system , got trap air

^^^ This.. Bleed the crap out of it

ok... when you guys bleed the system, you bled the slave first or the master cylinder..?

it seems to found out that when heats up to operating temp the clutch pedal gets real stiff and the clutch slips...thats the real problem.. what can cause that? bad pressure plate ?

well guys, i just figure out that my problem come from my flywheel. The flywheel that i use was used and i send it before installed to the machine shop and they cut it and they cut to much from it. Now when the car is cold my fork has free play and thats why in first place the clutch pedal stay low. Then when the pressure plate heat up the teeths expand and it can't hold the pressure for the clutch and slip.

I just order a new flywheel from AZ and just got it, when i got it install i will be giving update... mery Christmas to all..

Did you change anything, or it started all of a sudden?
