Check for any visible leaks at the slave cylinder and the master cylinder. You may have seals that are bypassing in the master cylinder from sitting so long as they will get hard and fail. If no leaks found,suspect a defective clutch master cylinder

check the actual pedal and clutch linkage.  Also look for a fitting thats emitting air into the system.

SOURCE: clutch won't engage

There is a problem with the pressure plate spring or possibly the throwout bearing is bound up,you should be able to pull the rubber boot from around the clutch fork and have someone depress the pedal,you should be able to see if it's a problem with the bearing.Unfortunatly the trans is probably going to have to caome off.

SOURCE: I need to bleed my clutch in my 89 nissan pickup

if you have just instaled a new clutch you need to make sure the clutch disk has not ben instaled back wards and all the bolts holding the pressure plate are torqued evenly if eather is not corect the slave cyl will extend but not relace the clutch, if you have some one step on the clutch and it moves 1 to 2 in the problem is in the pressure plate or clutch disk,

SOURCE: bought new clutch new slave new master still no

Hydraulic clutch systems are renown for having airlocks in them once the fluid has drained out.
1.With the Master cylinder full have an assistant pump the clutch pedal acouple of times and keep it on the floor.
2. Release the bleed nipple on the slave cylinder to allow the air out and then tighten.
3. Assistant then allows pedal to come up.They may need to pull back pedal if it does not return by itself.
4.Repeat from #1 until no nore bubbles are seen coming out of the slave cylinder bleed nipple.
If you have a length of suitable size plastic tube that fits neatly over the the slave cylinder bleed nipple , the bubbles will be seen more clearly.
It could thae 8 to 10 pump sequences to clear the air lock. If the clutch still feels spongy, repeat the sequence after a couple of days driving.

How do I bleed the clutch on a 1984 nissan pickup?

the bleeding procedure is the same as bleeding the brakes although you won`t get a hard pedal like you do with brakes. bleed until you have pressure and no air in the system.

Shifting gear problem

Hi Lillean,first go check your clutch master cylinder,it's located at firewall on driver side in corner,if low or empty,then your clutch slave cylinder is bad and leaking,it's located on side of transmission with hose connected to it,2 bolts hold it on,fluid may be visible if leaking.You can fill reservoir and bleed to get home,I have a 85 Nissan truck,happen to me before.To bleed,have some one pump pedal a few times,get line wrench and open valve at slave cylinder,do untill air is gone and pedal is firm,make sure you keep reservoir full while doing this or air will get in there.Here's a link on it.Join the az site like me then you have a free repair guide.

Started off with cluth sticking to floor.would have to pull clutch pedal back up with foot. truck would stick in gear. even with clutch fully depressed. seemed like spring had disconnected from clutch...

your clutch uses a hydraulic master and slave cylinder to disengage. It is likely that the slave has been leaking and the reservoir gone dry, thus allowing air into the system and reducing effectiveness. Check the clutch master cylinder reservoir (near the brake reservoir) fluid level. If low, also check the slave cylinder at the clutch for leakage. If leaking, replace the slave and bleed the system. If you need procedures or have more questions, please let us know.

How do i bleed brakes of nissan 1400

Depending on the size of your bleed nipples you will need an 8 or 10mm spanner,a clear 5 or 6mm tube about 400mm long , a bleed jar(jamjar can do)and a friend to help you.

1:Fill up your brake fluid resovour to max mark and connect one end of pipe to one bleed nipple and other end in jar(start at the back wheels)
2:Ask friend to apply pressure to brake pedal
3:Turn bleed nipple counter-clockwise(normally only ¼ turn)until you see fluid or the brake pedal has bottomed.
4:Tighten bleed nipple again (clockwise)and ask your friend to release and then apply pressure again on the pedal.
5:Repeat this process until you see no more air bubbles coming from the bleed tube.(you need also to top up the fluid level by the mastercylinder after every few minutes)
6:Repeat process on the other 3 wheels and you done.

Please leave a positive feedback if I have helped you.

Thanks

Clutch adjustment

there is no adjustment for a hydraulic clutch, if you have a low pedal u still have air in the system, these are EXTREMELY HARD TO BLEED, suggest you rent a pressure bleeder or have a shop do the bleeding. In any event this is a 2 man job.

If it was working before - bleed at least one or two more times. This is assuming there are NO leaks anywhere in the system. If still the same suspect the master cylinder.
