Nissan Repair: nissan tarrano2, clutch slave cylinder, clutch fluid


Question
After a short time driving I have dificulty getting into dear i suspect I may have an air block and have never bleed a clutch can you give advice on how to do this

Answer
Paul,

Check the clutch fluid first.  Add to full line.  Have someone press the clutch, engine off, vehicle jacked up, tires blocked.  Use a wrench to bleed the clutch.  While they press the pedal crack open and then close the line.  Repeat this process until fluid comes out and not air.  Be sure to have the bleeder closed when letting up on the clutch pedal.  They might have to use their toe to pull the pedal up to the top position before pressing the pedal again.  Keep an eye on the clutch fluid to make sure it does not drop below the minimum line.  Now, you might just need a clutch slave cylinder if it is leaking.  So, be sure to check for clutch fluid at the slave before you start the bleeding process.
