[MBZ] OT: 1995 manual tranny Nissan Maxima
My girlfriend ran low on clutch fluid on her 1995 Nissan Maxima, and looks like air got sucked in. Anyone have any suggestions on how to bleed the air out of the clutch? ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Probably a bleed nipple on the slave cylinder ... just like brakes. But my last Datsun was 1973.

Might get interesting if the cylinder is inside the bell housing. If it ran dry, you'll probably be paying for a new master or slave cylinder soon anyway. The fluid had to leak out somewhere. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Anyone have any suggestions on how to bleed the air out of the clutch? As someone mentioned, it is very likely that something in the clutch circuit is leaking. Non the less, they will often bleed themselves if you can find a way to drive it a mile or so with out the clutch. Make sure the clutch pedal is up (you can hook it up with your toe) when you are driving as the oil port will be blocked if the pedal is left down. Procedure: warm the engine in neutral to facilitate an in gear start. Point the car in a safe direction and then push the pedal down to defeat the interlock and start the car. It will immediately begin moving so make sure all is clear. Once underway, you can leave it in low or shift up if you are good at matching speeds. as you are driving, occasionally push the pedal down to see if any progress was made. The pedal will stay down if not bled yet, just hook it back up and drive some more. Shortly, the pedal will return up by spring force, indicating the air is out, and you can shift normally. When you return, look for dripping brake fluid under the car, or possibly in the foot well on the driver's side, from the brake master cylinder.
