Thread: CL1 EuroR clutch

Just came back from a road trip today drove about 300kms without any issues. Parked the vehicle at home for about 3 hours and then wanted to take car out again but couldn't shift gear. Clutch pedal is soft. I can shift the gears when the engine is off. If I put it in any gear and hold down the clutch pedal and ease of it then the car just goes.

Really low clutch fluid issue? Don't know where to look as I seem to have misplaced my car manual CD but popping the hood I can see the reservoir nearest the car's right suspension is empty.

Must say I this is one thing I've never really checked before. Would I have damaged something?

yeah give it a bleed and top it up mate,clutch fluid same as brake fluid was never meant to last forever

I'm gonna go with a stuffed Slave Cylinder, Fluid will be built up behind the rubber boot on the end.

yeah,thinking if the slave was that stuffed though the fluid would be pissin out the boot not still captive and if the piston was siezed youd have a rock hard un movable clutch pedal though it could just be sticky

Cheers fellas, will have a look see tomorrow when there's light.

BUMPing an oldish thread, having a similar problem, clutch pedal feels real soft. wont engage, after a few attempts it works, and after some driving its fine.
Checked reservoir and it was pretty much empty
Have filled it, but looked under the dash and there was thick black fluid squishing out of the master cylinder (i think), right where the pin goes into it.
Rekon a rebleed would be required?, do i need a new cylinder or can/is it a possibility that it can be repaired.

get the clutch master cylinder overhauled. be around $60 to get new seal put etc

You my man have just made my day
Can you suggest any good places? or am i whipping out the yellow pages tomorrow lol

just try your local clutch and brake specialist.

chances are tho its not just your seal youv probably scratched the bore of ya master aswell which means resleeve or replace,they in a prick of a spot to get to too

new replacement shouldn't be that expensive, try bnt

yea last master cylinder i got for a nissan was only $30 from appco

asked BNT for 1 for the CF4 and they told me no listings

yeh checked with BNT theyv only for the repir kit for about $40 odd, and yeh honda seems to be quiet a bit more. Im hoping the slave is still good. Car drives sweet, just in the mornings afters it been sitting for a while theres no pressure on the pedal. Talked to strongs, they got one for 100, so gonna get that and hopefully can change it myself lol.

make sure theyl give you a refund if you get 1 from strongs and its leaking or got a scored bore
