WTH!!! My Clutch went out!!!

SoCalZ · 05-08-2011, 09:33 PM

...Not a good day today. Driving to my parents house for Mother's Day Lunch and stopped at a light...next thing I know when I try to start out is my clutch is stuck to the floor, NADA...won't come up...its out. Push the NEW (just got the plates) off the side of the road. Check out my clutch fluid..BONE F'N Dry...WTH?!?!?!

So i go and get some fluid form the local store and put it in ( I Know I need to bleed it, but I just wanted to see if/where the leak is.) pump the clutch and drips right out to the bottom. Call up my dealer and talk to my guy I bought this one AND my Last Z from, good guy, and he says get it towed down and we'll get it looked at tomarrow. He gave me a loaner too, he teased me with a GT-R...lol...then rolled up in a CUBE

Well...had a nice Mother's Day drive with mom at least, down to the dealership (30 min drive with her driving). But didnt get to spend lunch with her because I had to get to work.

Sucks. Can't impress even mom with a cube!

hahahaha.

That sux! In all my years (please, please don't let this post jinx me) I've never had to replace a clutch. Sorry to hear it dude... Drive that Cube like you stole it!

PapoZalsa · 05-08-2011, 10:35 PM

I got a Cube as a loaner too from Nissan.

spearfish25 · 05-08-2011, 10:37 PM

A bad slave wouldn't leak the fluid. It sounds like a bad clutch line or the bleeder nipple is loose.

would this be covered under the extended warranty????

USMCASA · 05-09-2011, 07:19 AM

Put a versa into overdrive... Its epic fun for a glass box

I got the Versa too after the short block failed. I tried to wring out some performance using the automatic shift like a manual. Mostly failed.

Do our cars have the ability to go into neutral after the clutch fails? Do we even have physical linkages or is it like the throttle?

Ok...you give them a Z...and they give you a Cube..or a Versa?? Not even close to an even match..

They need to have Maximas or Altima 3.5s as loaners.

SoCalZ · 05-09-2011, 05:23 PM

Well, Modme was right...Blown clutch slave cylinder. I should have it back tomarrow and of course all covered under warrenty (only 7500 miles on the car).

What was sad was he teased me with one of the 6 GT-R's sitting gathering dust in the showroom...lol

kenchan · 05-09-2011, 05:26 PM

sounds good, SoCalZ! so, watz the verdict on the Cube?

AlphaSnacks · 05-09-2011, 05:30 PM

How common of an issue is this? What are some symptoms?
