yeah slave cylinder would be next, but make sure you have the clutch blead all the way. It takes me forever to bleed my clutch. I normally have to bleed it, then go drive around for a few minutes, and re-bleed. I do this 3-4 times before all the air is out. Goodluck.

I would bleed it some more it it were me. This is a dumb question, but are you keeping the clutch master cylinder full of fluid while you are bleeding?

should i always finish whit the upper bleeder ?

and is there any special procedure ?

at motorvate they say to LIFT the clutch pedal SLOWLY.

Should i get the vinyl hose like they mentioned ?

I could never get my upper bleeder open, so that is probably why I had to bleed it more than once. Also I tried different ways of bleeding. I found that getting the guy in the engine bay to crack the bleeder as soon as I start pushing the pedal down slowly works the best for me. This is opposed to pumping it up then holding it to the floor while the guy cracks the valve open. As for the vinyl hose, I am guessing they tell you to put that on the bleeder so you dont shot DOT3 everywhere. Also if it is a clear hose you can see the air bubbles as they come out, so you will have a better idea as to when you are done.

Reason for the line replacement? Leak? If the slave cylinder is leaking, that might cause the mushy clutch pedal. But yes, you might have to bleed the block that's inbetween the master and slave clyinder

the reason .. was my pedal was to the floor. And i cant change gear
The oil was almost all gone in the reservoir

the hose was covered whith oil.

We inspect the slave and it looks ok . It pull the fork but not enough
I can drive it like that in 2 . stop and go in 2. but i cant (almost) shift
It enter very hardly in other gear .. i dont want to break somthing

How do i bleed the connection block



Is it the part 30655+B ?

Sometimes a slave cylinder can suck in air through a bad seal, but it might not leak fluid. I've seen that on some RWD cars, but not sure if the maxima is the same. Maybe try changing the slave cylinder?

Is there any way to check the master cylinder also? Could be that the seal is bad, and fluid goes around the piston instead of being pressurized.
