Clutch Re-condition....

I lost my clutch pressure a few weeks ago and it seems many others have too....I'm going to replace my slave cylinder, master cylinder, and my rubber clutch lines to SS lines....this is all in hope that I don't have to replace my entire clutch....is there anything else recommended in such a feat?! Any suggestions will be appreciated!

Nope, just don't forget to pick up some brake fluid and if you don't have a buddy to help you bleed, get a vacuum bleeder. Good luck.

Be sure to bleed from the SECOND BLEEDER SCREW during your procedure.

Is there a procedure where I can essentially eliminate one clutch line with a SS perhaps?! I remember reading something on the forum regarding such a task but didn't realize I was actually going to have to use that idea...I need new clutch lines and want to order them and also want to make sure I will be ordering the correct parts! Any more help on this issue will be much appreciated!

Good luck finding one that spans from the master cyl to slave cyl. If you want to go that route, you can either try a 240sx auto to manual conversion line for about $35, or make your own hard line w/metal brakeline + fittings, and bend them on your own as other members have done.

The other "standard" option is goto group deal forum and find automax_95's SS that goes from the existing hardline to slave cyl (about 13" long).

Thank you very much for the advice! I was hoping I wasn't just missing something. I couldn't see there being a line that went from master to slave....I suppose just some SS upper and lowers will have to suffice. Thanks again...

I have a line that goes from master to the slave direct. Easier to bleed and feels more efficient.

If you don't get a single hose...read the last couple of posts in: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=527215

PS: you may want to use the rebuild kits from Nissan for your master and slave...cheaper.
